Houston's best 19th hole

19thhole Although Jack Burke's venerable Champions Cypress Creek Golf Course may arguably be a bit overrated, this Ron Kapriske/Golf Digest article rates the Champions Men's Locker Room Bar as one of the 50 best 19th holes in the country:

Sit back and listen to Jackie Burke tell stories, especially the one about Jimmy Demaret at the bar in his birthday suit; the bar inside the locker room is three-sided to allow for "cross-counter shouting matches"; wood paneling is a "throwback to the country-club days of the 1960s."

I can attest that having the opportunity to listen to a couple of Burke stories is certainly worth a trip to the Champions Men's Locker Room. A close second to the Champions Men's Locker Room Bar among the best of Houston's 19th holes -- Lochinvar Golf Club's Clubhouse.
