Stephen F. Austin Country Club

Stephen F. Austin Country Club is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in San Felipe, Texas.

Stephen F. Austin golf course opened in 1954. The back nine of this course was built in 1970 and is a little more open than the front nine.

Stephen F. Austin Golf Club is a long-time favorite, especially for players on the west side of Houston, for its scenic setting along the Brazos River. The course is set in a pecan tree farm (still harvested every fall) and is very tight. The trees lining almost every fairway seem to be the biggest hazards on this course. However, water hazards (ponds and creeks) have also been incorporated into this course's design

While there's only one par-5 over 500 yards and the par-4s range from 311 to 400 yards max, Stephen F., as it's known to regulars, draws its challenge from the tree-lined fairways and three of its par-3s that range from 184 to 205 yards. There are four forced carries due to Bollinger Creek, which runs through the course.

Featuring the natural contours of the land with several small streams, and tightly placed among several thousand native pecan trees, the present 18-hole course teems with wildlife. Several generations of white-tail deer live in this heavily wooded triangle bounded by the Brazos River and a state park. On any given day as golfers admire the narrow tree-lined fairways and struggle with the relatively small greens protected by sand traps, they will probably see more deer than birdies. But, be alert, occasionally a player spots an eagle.
