Welcome to the Texas Golf Insider. Fall is finally here and giving way to cooler temperatures. It is my favorite time of the year, though the days are a little shorter. Golf in Texas is at its best at this time and we’re ready to entertain our winter friends and golfing travelers. Bayou Golf Course, one of our Houston cover stories, is one of Southeast Texas’ finest economical golf courses. It’s located in Texas City near Galveston’s coastal attractions. With their recent golf course renovations, Bayou Golf Course is now adding a new nine hole family pitch-and-putt short course. Bayou Golf Course is the ideal place for regular golfers and those who are just starting to play golf. One of our cover feature stories isVaaler Creek Golf Club in Blanco Texas. There is a very good chance you have heard of Vaaler Creek and an even better chance you’ve played it.
