Without knowing your finances, Pebble Creek would probably be your best bet as a "starter" club. Average golf course in average shape. Good membership - most of them live in the neighborhood. Active club life / pool etc. This course would undoubtedly be your best value.

If you are an avid golfer, you will gravitate eventually to Traditions or Miramont when the course conditions at Pebble Creek start to annoy you.

Traditions is less expensive than Miramont. It is a top 30 in Texas type of golf course. Has been in better shape in recent years. Nicklaus design that is tough but not very fun for the 10 handicap and over crowd. You will lose plenty of balls if you don't hit it straight. A lot of play and too many non-member tournaments. Usually need a tee time. Home of the A&M golf teams.

Miramont is the top of the food chain in BCS. Highest fees but hands down the best course in the best condition. RTJ2 design that is a perennial Top 10 in Texas golf course. Even has 4 practice holes to work on your game with actual golf holes. Rarely if ever need a tee time.

Miramont is friendly but has a more formal feel than Traditions. Traditions members seem a bit more laid back.
Both clubs are great for this size university town.

Not trying to start a Traditions vs Miramont fight but that is what usually happens in this type of thread. 30 year resident of BCS just trying to give you an honest assessment of the country club golf scene in town.

Pebble Creek MGA prez here. We have a great group of players at PCCC. MGA has around 160 members and we average 40-50 players for monthly tournaments. We also have around 30 players every Friday and Sunday for skins game. All the side action you want.

Any questions drop me a PM.

This is a question for anyone willing to pitch in an answer...

I live in a neighborhood that sits on a rather nice fee-only GC outside of BCS. I'm an infinity handicap and have neither the time nor desire to play 18 holes at a time, but I do like to get out and hit occasionally. About once a week, usually an hour or so before sunset, one of my kids and I will take the cart out to the course after most of the players have cleared out. We usually play 4 or 5 holes then head home. There are a handful of other neighbors who we see doing the same thing from time to time. The GC workers haven't cared when they've seen us over the years.

We're looking at moving to BCS in the future, and wondering if there are any courses where I could get away with this??? I don't mind buying on another GC in BCS and joining a CC if they allowed resident members to do something like this without a tee time. It's just never been on my radar in the past.

Thanks everyone.

Grew up in pebble creek and 70% of my rounds were after 7pm and about 5 holes. As long as you don't get in the way of golfers, no one has a problem.
