And a higher-priced one on the way. In that regard, what the people are trying to do at River Pointe Golf Club, about a mile from the banks of the Brazos, is commendable. This is a group led by Ruben Lopez that is trying to revive decent, affordable golf in the southeast Houston area. That's an unheard of rate for a new course. Take U.S. 59 south across the Brazos River to the Crabb River Road exit.
Course is on the left.
Be forewarned there are no signs for the course on any ofthe roads or in front of the courseitself. As you might suspect, smaller greens fees result in a smaller operating budget and a smaller margin of error when it comes to running the sort of operation that will give it a fighting chance against the higher-priced facilities that dot the landscape. So far, there are a few problems to pick out about River Pointe. First, the course isn't obvious to anybody who doesn't know it exists. Perhaps some explanation is needed.
