Planning A Golfing Weekend

Planning a Golfing Weekend

Sometimes it's just time to get out of town and on to the greens. When you feel that itch to go golfing come over you, why not make it a weekend at a Houston golf resort?

One of the most ideal areas that you can not only get away and onto the greens at, but also catch up on some much needed "R & R" is at the La Torretta Del Lago Resort and Spa on Lake Conroe. Located just a stone's throw away from Houston, La Torretta Del Lago features a par 71 course that was recently redesigned in April 2007.

The course was redesigned by Jeffrey D. Blume, Limited. Blume draws from an extensive knowledge and experience in landscape architecture and many of his course designs are known simply as "spectacular." He has several designs under his belt including the La Paloma Golf Course in Amarillo, Texas, Grand Lake Estates and Grand Pines Golf Club in Montgomery, Texas as well as The Farm Golf Club in Lafayette, Louisiana. H has also had several other notable projects including the Malibu International Golf Club in Kobe, japans and the Playacar Club de Golf in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

The La Torretta Del Lago course was completely renovated to create the finest resort golf course in the Houston area. The course design improved the visual presentation of the holes as well as brought the course up to modern standards. An important part of the course was that it was made memorable and Blume did this through the addition of greens, tees, bunkers, mounds, hollows, lakes and a variety of vegetation. The hazards were also placed in a manner so that they challenge even the most accomplished player, but are not out of reach for the higher handicap golfer.

Combine this superb golf course with the amenities of La Torretta Del Lago Resort and Spa, and you have the perfect combination for a Houston golf weekend. This Lake Conroe resort and spa also features a package designed ideally for the golf enthusiast. Through the Golfer's Paradise Package, you receive a full 18 holes, free use of the driving range and a complimentary bucket of balls. You also receive a free golf cart rental and a lakeside golf cottage. Houston lakeside golf cottages provide you with the perfect place to unwind after a day on the greens.

The next time you begin to plan your golfing weekend, remember La Torreta Del Lago Resort & Spa located on beautiful Lake Conroe.
