12 Houston Spots Made for Drinking and Golf

"Dreading playing a full 18 holes? Divided into four zones with an 80- to 150-yard, link-style short course, this East End/Firth Ward hotspot features a driving range and a massive 12,000-square-foot social putting green, plus an area for pickleball to switch things up. The onsite Riverhouse restaurant and bar, which handles the food and drinks for the golf course, is the perfect place to fuel up, with burgers and sandwiches like the Crispy Hotbird — a spicy buttermilk-marinated chicken breast sandwich topped with heirloom tomatoes and pickles, and a Brussels sprouts and kale slaw. More chef-driven mains include the pan-seared Norwegian salmon, which is glazed with citrus and herb beurre blanc. Take a break and enjoy a drink or two on the expansive outdoor terrace, which overlooks the course and the Downtown skyline, or grab a beer bucket and keep putting along." - Sean Hekmat
