Bask on the beach and bird watch between golf games before, during, or after spring break in Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Crystal Beach, or South Padre Island. Explore East Texas from Dallas to Tyler, Texarkana, Jefferson, and Nacogdoches. Enjoy golf and big city life in Dallas or Houston. Visit Galveston's coastal Strand.

Four Seasons Resort and Club at Colinas

A popular, well-maintained course set in the gently rolling Texan landscape.

Reviewed By M2995GMneilb - London, United Kingdom

This resort style Four Seasons seemed a little out of place in this part of Dallas but what a great property. The golf and fitness facilities are first class and that the fitness club seems to have local patrons adds an authentic local feel. The fitness area was really incredible. As usual, attentive service, quality linens and toiletries. Pics here of the outdoor area and the healthiest breakfast I’ve found at a hotel for a long time. Could have, no should have, stayed much longer.

La Cantera Golf Club

A very challenging golf course and school. The highest spot within the San Antonio city limits is the tee box at hole eleven.

Reviewed By geoaiii - Dallas, United States

We played the Palmer course and we were overwhelmed by the beautiful views and change of elevations. Almost every if not every hole plays uphill or downhill at some point. I know a hill is not a tall as a mountain but some of the elevations seemed more like mountains than hills. The course was well maintained to the level you would expect from a resort.

Memorial Park

Popular among bikers, hikers, roller bladers, ball players and spoiled dogs (on leashes, please!).

Reviewed By 962adid - Houston, United States

I have been jogging at memorial park for over 30 years. This park stands out for its location and jogging track. It also includes a bike track that crosses the park towards downtown alongside the bayou. I truly recommend it and assure you a pleasant and fun times with the friendliest joggers and bikers in Houston.

Hermann Park

The first public park in Houston provides a wooded site with picnic areas, running trails, lots of on-leash dog walking areas, the Houston Zoological Gardens, a public golf course and an outdoor theater featuring plays and live music.

Reviewed By Coffee_Shop_Bob

If you're anywhere near the Medical Center, this is the best park in this part of Houston: great paths, beautiful reflection pool near zoo, beautifully maintained, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Museum of Natural History, etc. all right here, lots of wildlife (ducks, etc, which you can feed), and outdoor theater with great performances of ALL kinds during all times of the year. Place can get really hot and humid like anyplace in Houston summer so bring water if you're walking through during the day.

Stonebriar Country Club

18-hole Championship Layout Offers A Challenging Round Of Golf In A Scenic Setting.

Reviewed By Tracy212A - Stockholm, Sweden

My husband's company had a conference at the Stonebriar Westin but I mistakenly thought it was the Stonebriar Country Club. Long story short international travel was cancelled for all staff because of COVID19. My dilemma was I had already ordered a few things online and had them shipped to the hotel. The confusion that reigned after this was staggering. After many calls back and forth I finally reached Kelly who was the weekend front desk customer service lady. Thank god for small mercies. When I am stressed out about having made such a huge expensive blunder, the last thing anyone needs is a complacent customer service helper and Kelly was anything but. She refused to get off the line until she had thoroughly checked and confirmed that my packages were probably sent to the hotel across the street. She was so patient and did not seem to mind that I had her on the call for over 15 minutes even while she had to periodically put me on hold to assist on another call. I would simply like to say a huge thank you to you Kelly for your patience and kindness with me during my stressful call. Very seldom do we receive more than expected and when we do, it simply touches you in a special way, thank you again. We will be visiting Dallas before year end and guess where we will be staying because of it?...:). Grateful Tracy Attoff
