Fort Bend Country Club

Fort Bend Country Club sits in Richmond, Texas, approximately thirty miles southwest of downtown Houston in the historic Fort Bend County region. The course was designed by Derrell Witt, a Texas-based architect who worked primarily in the state during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The club serves the Richmond and greater Fort Bend County communities, an area that has experienced significant residential growth as the Houston metropolitan area has expanded westward. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Texas Gulf Coast plain, with routing that typically incorporates native grasses, mature trees, and water features common to courses in this part of the state. The design reflects the regional style of Texas golf from its era, with strategic bunkering and hazards positioned to challenge approach shots and reward accurate play. The climate allows for year-round golf, with Bermuda grass surfaces standard for both fairways and greens. Fort Bend Country Club functions as a traditional private club serving local members and their families. The facility includes dining and social amenities typical of country clubs in suburban Texas communities. The course provides a home for member play, club competitions, and junior golf programs that serve the Richmond area's golfing population.
