Pecan at Sweetwater Country Club

Sweetwater Country Club's Pecan Course is located in Sugar Land, Texas, a rapidly developed suburban community southwest of Houston. Designed by Roger Packard, the course reflects the architect's approach to creating playable yet strategic layouts that accommodate a range of skill levels. Packard, who worked extensively throughout Texas and the southern United States during his career, typically emphasized course conditioning and member-friendly design principles while incorporating the natural terrain and vegetation of each site.

The Pecan Course takes its name from the native pecan trees common to the Texas Gulf Coast region. The relatively flat topography characteristic of this part of the state is punctuated by water features and strategic bunkering that define playing corridors and green complexes. The layout requires thoughtful course management, as water hazards come into play on multiple holes and wind conditions typical of the Houston area can significantly affect club selection and shot execution.

Sweetwater Country Club serves the Sugar Land community as a family-oriented private club. The facility includes multiple amenities beyond golf, reflecting the lifestyle expectations of the area's residential population. The Pecan Course provides members with a well-maintained home course that balances challenge with accessibility, suitable for regular play in the warm, humid climate of southeast Texas. The course operates year-round, with bermudagrass surfaces that thrive in the region's long growing season.
