If you’re an avid golfer, then Tour 18 Houston is for you. This venue recreates the most difficult holes on the PGA Tour—something of a tall order but very well done with fast greens, lush fairways and soft sand. Something to keep in mind: you must reserve in advance via credit card and include reservations for all players in your party. The Redstone Golf Club is for those who would prefer to simply play golf without trying to recreate anything—and it is, in fact, one of the stops on the PGA Tour. Redstone offers an excellent layout, great service and a nice clubhouse. Tip: Play the 18th from the back tees!
