| Course Details
Pecan Lakes is an 18-hole, par-72 daily fee golf course. The course was designed by Jay Riviere, the noted Houston golf architect. The course is built over 190 acres, with a twenty acre lake and waterway system defining the holes. Water may come into play on seventeen of the holes. There are fifty strategically placed bunkers to further create interest.
Most of the holes on the front nine play through a tall grove of native pecan, elm, and water oak. Three of the first four holes will play into the prevailing wind, making them play much more difficult than yardage indicates. The eighth hole will be the strongest par four on the front nine. The entire left side has water, with the right side protected by a bunker and trees. The shot to the green must carry a larger bunker. The green is small and nearly flat. Par on this hole will be an excellent score.
The back nine begins with two holes straight into the wind. The tenth is par four, measuring 400 yards. Water runs along the left side of the fairway and wraps around the back of the green. The eleventh hole is the longest par five on the course, measuring 560 yards. The approach to the green must carry a thirty yard wide lake. The last hole is the longest par four on the course, measuring 452 yards from the back tee. This is a sharp dog-leg left with the corner protected by two bunkers, and the right side has water all the way. The 18th green is the only green not bunkered, but there is plenty of other trouble to make the hole interesting. Birdies on this hole will be rare.
