TIPS FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE

Find your favorite players' tee times.

Devise a plan. Will you follow your favorite players/groups as they wind through the course (cross country style) or maintain your position on the course and watch as each group comes through (parade style)? Be sure to check out the course map so you are familiar with the course prior to arriving.
-
Be prepared. The southeast Texas weather can turn in a moment, so check the weather and dress accordingly. Remember to wear your sunscreen and comfortable shoes are a MUST!
-
Arrive early. On Thursday and Friday, groups will tee off simultaneously from Tee Box 1 and Tee Box 10. If you plan to watch parade style, you'll want to stake your spot early, especially on the weekend and on the back-nine holes.
