Katy’s Meadowbrook Farms Golf Course Designed by Greg Norman

“The beauty of Meadowbrook Farms Golf Course is in the details,” says “The Shark” Greg Norman, designer of Meadow Brook Farms. As one of the most anticipated (transitioning into ) private clubs in Houston, Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club offers the serious golfer a private and unrivaled golf experience. The level of service is highly touted.

Meadowbrook Farms Golf Course winds throughout the gorgeous master-planned community of Seven Meadows in the heart of Katy. Its design is unlike any other in the Houston area. This Greg Norman Signature Course can be played from 5,000 to 7,100 yards with multiple tees and sod-wall bunkers. White sand and greens are generous, subtle and approachable. The par-72 course is nestled among a multitude of hardwood trees, creeks, lakes, and wetlands terrain. It is framed by true native prairie grasses and wildflowers all of which promote creative shot strategy.

Among the facility’s most notable features are its GN-1 (hybrid Bermudagrass) tees, fairways, and roughs all created by Greg Norman Turf Company. The putting greens are Floradwarf and the perimeter roughs are native grasses and wildflowers providing beautiful vistas. Read the rest of this entry »
