Looking for a great place to play some golf?
Though the Quail Valley Country Club first opened as a private facility (1970), today the Quail Valley golf courses are open to the public with reduced rates for residents of the Quail Valley neighborhood. The freshly redesigned El Dorado golf course features rolling terrain while the La Quinta golf course is more of a classic, target-style golf course with elevated greens. The public golf courses are considered some of the best values and places to play in the Houston golf region.
Quail Valley Proud hosts various golf outings or tournaments throughout the year. Check out our events and stay connected with us. For more details about the golf facilities or First Tee Program information, visit www.golfquailvalley.com.
