What to Expect
When you tee off at Hearthstone, you can anticipate a course that rewards precision over power.

Pay close attention to the yardages; the course's layout can lead to tricky approaches if your distances are off. Aim for the larger sections of the greens to avoid three-putting on the challenging slopes. Make sure to factor in Houston's heat and humidity, especially during the summer months.
