Westwood Country Club

Westwood Country Club sits in the Memorial area of west Houston, a well-established residential neighborhood that has long been home to several private clubs. The course was originally designed by John Bredemus, a Texas-based architect whose work appears throughout the state, and later underwent renovation by Keith Foster, who has built a reputation for sensitive restoration and modernization of classic American layouts. The club dates to the mid-twentieth century and reflects the evolution of Houston golf through periods of growth and refinement. The property occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the Houston region, where design interest comes from strategic bunkering, green contouring, and the management of mature trees rather than dramatic elevation change. Water features appear on several holes, a common element in courses built on the Gulf Coast plain where drainage and irrigation considerations shape routing decisions. Foster's involvement likely addressed issues of modern distance, green speeds, and playability while respecting the original design intent. Westwood serves a membership drawn from Houston's professional and business communities. The club maintains traditions of family-oriented programming alongside competitive golf, typical of established private clubs in major Texas cities. Its location within the city limits makes it accessible to members throughout the western suburbs, and the mature landscape provides a sense of seclusion despite the surrounding residential development.
