Sweetwater Country Club joins TPC Network portfolio The PGA TOUR’s TPC Network has announced that Sweetwater Country Club has been named the 31st property in the company’s network of premier golf facilities, to be renamed TPC Houston.
The club becomes the fourth TPC property in the state of Texas. TPC Houston will be one of five sites hosting PGA TOUR Americas Q-School on March 24-27.
Originally envisioned as a home for the Ladies Professional Golf Association, the Roger Packard-designed course opened in 1982. Shortly after opening, the course hosted the LPGA Hall of Fame Golf Classic, where LPGA legends Nancy Lopez and Amy Alcott were crowned champions.
Located on the outskirts of Houston, the course has grown into a premier private club community. A 36-hole property, the Pecan and Cypress Courses showcase classic Texas golf with wide fairways, strategic water hazards and tree-lined layouts that play through the natural coastal prairie landscape and offer a diverse challenge to all golfers.
