The Plantation course at Pecan Grove Plantation Country Club sits in Richmond, Texas, roughly thirty miles southwest of Houston in the Brazos River bottomlands. Designed by Carlton Gipson and opened in the mid-1980s, the course occupies former plantation land characterized by mature pecan and oak trees, which give the property its name and provide definition throughout the routing. Gipson, a Texas-based architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, worked extensively across the Gulf Coast region and typically emphasized playability while incorporating natural vegetation and water features common to the area. The layout reflects the flat to gently rolling terrain typical of Fort Bend County, with water hazards—ponds, creeks, and drainage channels—coming into play on multiple holes. The tree-lined fairways require accuracy off the tee, and the course demands strategic positioning rather than overwhelming length. Bermuda grass is standard for both fairways and greens, suited to the humid subtropical climate. Pecan Grove Plantation Country Club serves as a private facility with a membership drawn largely from the Richmond and greater Houston area. The club offers traditional country club amenities including tennis, swimming, and dining facilities alongside the golf course. The Plantation course functions as the centerpiece of a residential community that developed around the club, a common model for suburban Houston golf developments of that era.
