Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, site of this week’s Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open on the PGA Tour, was recently renovated by architect Tom Doak. The municipal course ranks No. 20 on Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list in Texas.
The original John Bredemus layout opened in 1936 and hosted the PGA Tour at various times in the 1940s through the 1960s, but it had become overgrown and shaggy while hosting 60,000 rounds a year. Doak in 2019 completed his $34-million renovation funded through a foundation headed by Houston Astros’ owner Jim Crane, and the Tour returned in 2020.
The course will be set up at 7,412 yards with a par of 70 for this week’s event. It normally tops out at 7,292 yards with a par of 72.
