Texas Children's Houston Open challenges golfers with tough conditions

The Texas Children's Houston Open is approaching, coinciding with the spring break season. Memorial Park’s five par 3 holes will challenge players. It's important for golfers to control their approach shots. The greens are large, averaging around 7,000 square feet, but they have many slopes, making them tricky to hit. This means golfers should expect to take two-putt pars more often. Getting close to the hole will be difficult due to the greens' size and shape. So, players should be ready to accept a good score even if they don’t always make birdies. The greens could be quite fast, with some conditions pushing speeds to 12 feet. The rough around the course is kept short, only reaching about 1¼ inches.
