Houston Golf
Memorial is a well maintained public golf course in Houston. At one time it was the host of the Houston open. It is a challenging course with good greens and a thinking layout. If you get the chance to play, don't miss it.

HO CHI MIN!!!
IF you are a mountain biker, or a runner bored of running with the SHEEP at the regular 3-mile circuit, head for the bike trail, it rocks! It feels like the LOST PINES at BASTROP instead of Memorial PARK! There are several bike trails, I don't know the name of this, but it's the green one. It starts where the picnic entrance is, right on Memorial. It takes me 13 minutes on the bike and 20 minutes running.

A walk in the Park
THIS is where I take clients. It is convienent, beautiful, well maintained. It is also just a plain fun course.

Could use better facilities
Not a good place to go if you require restroom facilities. There are few and I have seen times when some of the old ones were locked up. If you don't like portacans and have children, you might think twice about going here. It's a great park, but I sure would like to see more facilities and reopen the old ones that were locked up. I guess the abundance of vandalism penalizes those of us who require those facilities. Not knocking the park, just wish the facilities were better.

Over-worked
Memorial's design is exceptional and challenging, but the course shows the excessive number of rounds played each year. At the least, every golfer should play the course at least once just because of the history. The staff need customer service training, especially the Marshalls. It almost seems as if they resent people playing on their course.

PARK OF NO PARK
Can't find a parking space near the golf facility at lunch time. Beck's Prime restaurant takes up all spaces between 11:30 and 1:00. Any tee times in that timeframe is hazardous. You drive the lot for as many as 30 minutes. This is a public facility. Why can a private enterprise inconvenience people who want to play golf?

Better take the bus
Parking is horrible!!!! This couse is neatly located in the city's largest and most populated park, and you share parking with picnickers, runners, tennis players, and dog owners. Which greatly out number the golfers. Only thing that can be said is "Good for a City Course at a somewhat reasonable price." Nothing to compare with the privately owned daily fee courses in the Houston Area. Greatwood or Memorial at the same price? Not even a contest, Greatwood hands down. But you do have to make the dirve to Sugar Land.

Facilities are not the best but...
The park is a nice place to run and bring your dog... just make sure it is on a leash. They could improve on the restroom situation in a big way... more than one real restroom would be nice.

A Texas Legend
I've played all the Houston area daily fee courses, and this is one of my favorites. It's long from the tips, but the landing areas are wide and fair on most holes. Very traditional layout, unlike some of the "target golf" courses around, and is a great walking course. You will also use every club in your bag. The marshalls will keep the play moving, which is a plus for me.

I would not recommend no more than just a run or possible bike ride here.
The park is a good place to run being that the weather is pleasant and allows for it. Cycling can be sometimes difficult with traffic. Overall it is great for those who do not want to buy a gym membership and choose to stay active. The restrooms? Do your best to go before you come. The gas station restroom is a million times cleaner and you have a feel that you will be mugged here before there. Parking is not too difficult even during busy times. Someone is always coming and going. If your purpose is to run and be healthy, forget its flaws and go get your run on. It does have a Beck's Prime on the premises. And no burger can top 'em. Fuddruckers comes close, but does not have the full smoked flavor.

Beautiful, in-close, historic course, updated and ideal for today's golf.
Great old style layout, with very mature trees. Fair course, with accuracy rewarded. Fairways are generally large, but there are plenty of places to lose a ball. Water is only an important issue on a couple of holes. Total distance ranges from 7,305 to 5,459, offering a good chance for every level of golfer.

Great park
This park is great, if you like to bike, run, play sports then this is your park. There are lots of things you can do here. The restrooms are not very clean but if you are going to the outdoors you should also not be expecting Ritz Carlton type restrooms. The bike trails are very fun and have all types even for people that are just starting out. The only thing that I would like is that the park would implement park rangers or HPD officers on bikes. Many times you will see the soccer crowd leave beer cans all over or people just acting stupid. You know there always is the few that act stupid. Other than that this is a great park for all the family including the dog.

Memorial Park
Memorial Park offers plenty of walking space for those of us who LOVE to powerwalk. Memorial Park is a beautiful park and very clean. Friendly folks who observe and obey the code of ethics. A lovely park for those of us who enjoy staying physically fit. However, the pollution in H town is an ongoing problem, and in the park too. So, you're breathing in that stuff while exercising. Parking isn't a problem (early morning ha-ha).

Look to the Left
As you drive around Memorial Park's West Loop, you will notice many joggers with different sized dogs. If you have ever run at this park, you will notice that your feet and lungs are covered with red clay. If you have a white, furry dog...be prepared for him/her to be peach after a run.Worldwide > United States > Houston, TX > Golf
