Decent Semi Public course to join in Houston?

[Timanator]

Looking for a good club to join in the SW side. I normally play Quail Valley since it's close to my work in Sugarland, but rather have some place closer to me that I can practice and play at.

 

Thanks.

If you have been playing at Quail Valley and work in Sugarland, give me an idea what part of SW would be close for you.

Sienna is farther away from Sugarland than QV. Cinco Ranch and Meadowbrook Farms is more Westside but up 99. Greatwood is off 99 and 59. River Pointe is a bit farther south down below Greatwood. Fort Bend Country Club is close to Greatwood just down 59 a bit. Beyond those, you start getting into private clubs, not semi-private. You have Sweetwater, Sugar Creek, Westwood, BraeBurn, Pecan Grove.

I have the annual pass at QV but I play in a traveling golf league so I play all over Houston.

I live on Meadowbrook Farms and am a member of the range club so I am there a fair bit...practicing and playing. I was a member of Willowfork in Katy for a long time before moving overseas and anticipated joining Meadowbrook when we moved back. It's hard to make the economics work when you can go play there anytime you want and I have use of the practice facilities any time I want for a fraction of the cost. The course is almost always in great shape and can play as hard as you want it to. It is a lot like the Doha Golf Club that I belonged to in Qatar where you can play the tees one up and have a challenging round of golf and then move to the back and have real monster, especially as much as the wind blows. If you are interested in getting the experience out there a good way to test it out is to join the range club, practice up there, play some and see what you think. What I like about it is the practice facilities are seldomly crowded. I did the same at Cinco while we were waiting to move into our house and it is terrible wrt to crowds and condition of the range. Also, the course isn't very challenging. What I don't like about Meadowbrook is that it doesn't feel like a "club" as much of the traffic is from public players. If it went completely private I would probably join but I don't expect that to happen anytime soon.
