For nearly 50 years, Bear Creek Golf World was one of Houston’s largest public golf complexes — 54 holes spread across three courses inside the Addicks Reservoir.
Then Hurricane Harvey came.
In 2017, the reservoir filled, the courses were inundated, and Bear Creek Golf World never reopened. Today, the fairways are overgrown, but from above you can still clearly see the outline of the old courses slowly being reclaimed by nature.
Another piece of Houston history hiding in plain sight. ⛳️🌳
