A directory of 166 named golf courses and country clubs across Texas draws its data from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places. These facilities are distributed across 146 cities and 82 counties throughout the state. Because the GNIS records named geographic features rather than operational business details, the directory represents a partial snapshot that may lag behind recent openings or name changes. Federal gazetteer records do not include information about a course's public or private status, green fees, or course layout. Users should treat the directory as a locator tool to identify and pinpoint courses by city and county, then consult each facility's official website to confirm current hours of operation, rates, and availability for booking.
Texas golf by county
Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Texas directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
