Houston-based Redstone Companies‘ Tournament Golf Course — the new home course for the PGA Tour’s Shell Houston Open Golf Tournament — opened for play this week, and the Chronicle’s Doug Pike gives the 7,500 yard Rees Jones tract a stellar rating in this review. Inasmuch as the new course is central to the Houston Golf Association’s plan to revive the Shell Houston Open, which had one of its weakest fields in years during this year’s tournament — I am hopeful that the course turns out to be popular among both Tour players and the golfing public. I am scheduled to play the Tournament Course later this month, after which I will post a review, so stay tuned.
A note to Redstone Golf — the website for the Tournament Course is about as unimpressive as a website can be, with hyperlinks that do no work and a paucity of visuals of the product. Might want to spend a few bucks to upgrade that resource, which will be the first impression that many folks will have of the facility.
