| After Hurricane Harvey Destroyed our Historic Clubhouse, Houston’s Premier Public Golf Facility Rises Back — Bigger, Brighter, and Unprecedented in South Texas HOUSTON, Texas — April 24, 2026 — Cypresswood Golf Club, one of Houston’s most storied 36-hole, daily fee golf facilities, today announced the milestone beam signing for its new elevated clubhouse — a defining moment in a sweeping, multi-million-dollar transformation that will establish Cypresswood as the most complete golf destination in South Texas. Scheduled for completion in Q3 2026, the project represents not just a rebuilding effort following the devastating loss of the original clubhouse to Hurricane Harvey — but a bold reimagination of what public golf can be. From a championship 9-hole night golf course illuminated by Musco lighting, to a 20-bay TopTracer driving deck, a 2-acre Musco-lit putting course, and a full-service sports bar and event space accommodating up to 340 guests, Cypresswood is emerging as a regional golf destination unlike anything else in the Houston market. A Vision Built from Loss — and Commitment Hurricane Harvey’s destruction of Cypresswood’s original clubhouse could have marked the end of an era. Instead, it became the catalyst for something greater. “We made a commitment not just to rebuild — but to come back better than ever,” said Jonathan Roberson, General Manager of Cypresswood Golf Club. “What’s rising now is exactly that.” The new elevated clubhouse is designed to serve every kind of golfer and guest: the serious competitor, the social player, the corporate group, and the family looking for a night out. Its panoramic windows overlook a lighted course that comes alive after dark — a signature feature that makes Cypresswood one of the only facilities in the region offering a premium night golf experience at the championship level. A Complete Golf Ecosystem — Under One Roof The transformation extends well beyond four walls. Key components of the Cypresswood redevelopment include: - The Flight Deck (TopTracer Range): 20 state-of-the-art hitting bays built into the primary clubhouse — 10 ground level, 10 upper level — offering technology-driven range experiences with panoramic course views.
- The Firefly (Night Golf): Championship Cypress Course front 9 illuminated by Musco lighting, delivering a premium after-dark golf experience
- Putting Course: A 2-acre Musco-lit short game facility for all skill levels.
- The Hangar (Bar & Grill): A full-service sports bar and grill with craft food and beverage service until 11:30 PM.
- Banquet & Event Space: Up to 340 guests for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings.
- Course Renovation: Cypress Course greens are being expanded approximately 50% back to their original size and contours, resurfaced with Paspalum Platinum — the same premium turf as the Tradition Course.
- Practice Facility: Fully redesigned with grass hitting surfaces, target greens, and Musco lighting.
- EZGO Fleet: New GPS-equipped golf cart fleet completing the elevated, cohesive on-course experience.
Sustainability is woven into the project’s DNA, with a recycled water system integrated into the facility’s operations — a forward-thinking investment that positions Cypresswood as a responsible steward of the region’s resources. A Public-Private Partnership and Community Investment The project is a testament to the power of public-private collaboration. Cypresswood Golf Club extends its deep appreciation to Harris County Commissioner Tom Ramsey, Foresight Golf President Dan Pedrotti Jr., Paradigm Construction, and the broader community of partners who have helped bring this vision to life. “This is bigger than a clubhouse,” Pedrotti added. “This is an investment in the Houston community — in access to world-class golf, in jobs, in events, and in a gathering place that belongs to everyone.” Grand Opening: November 2026 Cypresswood Golf Club is targeting a November 2026 Grand Opening, with a VIP Experience Day preceding the public launch to provide media, influencers, local leaders, and top partners an exclusive first look at the completed facility. The club is also introducing a series of charter membership and pre-sale packages for founding members of the new Cypresswood experience.
