Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, site of this week’s Cadence Bank Houston Open on the PGA Tour, originally was designed by John Bredemus and opened in 1936 on the site of a former nine-holer. After decades of neglect it was renovated by Tom Doak in 2019.
Since that $34-million renovation funded through a foundation headed by Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, the Tour returned in 2020. The popular municipal course also has climbed to No. 15 in Texas on Golfweek’s Best ranking of public-access courses. It will play to 7,412 yards with a par of 70 for the Cadence Bank Houston Open.
