Jersey Meadow Golf Club

Jersey Meadow Golf Club sits in Jersey Village, a northwest Houston suburb, where Carlton Gipson designed the course in the late 1960s. Gipson, a Texas-based architect active during the mid-century golf boom, created numerous layouts across the state that adapted to the flat coastal prairie terrain characteristic of the Houston area. The course occupies land that was part of the region's agricultural development before suburban expansion transformed the landscape. The routing works with minimal elevation change, typical of courses built on the Gulf Coast plain. Water features and tree-lined corridors define many holes, providing strategic interest and visual separation on relatively level ground. Mature trees—likely planted during construction or preserved from earlier land use—frame fairways and create shot values that reward accuracy over distance. The design reflects the practical approach common to municipal and daily-fee courses of its era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough challenge to maintain interest for regular play. Jersey Meadow serves the local golfing community in the northwest Houston corridor, an area that has seen considerable residential and commercial growth since the course opened. The facility operates as a public-access course, providing golf opportunities in a metropolitan region where demand for accessible courses remains consistent. The layout represents a period when Texas communities invested in recreational infrastructure to serve growing suburban populations.
