The PGA Tour now moves from Mexico to Texas and a new/old venue. This will be a new venue to the current tour players, but it was home to the Houston Open from 1951 to 1963. Memorial Park Golf Course is known as one of the best municipal courses in America, designed by John Bredemus the course was originally a 9-hole course with sand greens, built near the hospital at Camp Logan for use by convalescent soldiers.

In 1994, on behalf of Mayor Bob Lanier, Houston Park Board member Nancy Reynolds began a campaign to restore the golf course and preserve its historical quality while allowing for modern maintenance methods to help sustain the courses future. In 1995, the newly renovated 600-acre course opened with a floodlit driving range, putting and chipping greens, and a new clubhouse.

The course underwent a further redesign undertaken by Tom Doak’s Renaissance Golf Design firm at a cost of $13.5-million, the renovations were completed in November 2019 ahead of the PGA Tour's planned return to Memorial Park for this week’s Houston Open.

The redesign included sand capping fairways, installing additional drainage, and the irrigation pond was tripled in size, with the excavated material used to form additional contouring around the course. Eight of the original greens were moved, the par five 8th was lengthened, and the par four 9th was altered from a par four to a par three. The par five 15th is now a driveable par four and the 16th has been extended to a par five. Tees and fairways on the front nine were repositioned to bring the ravines into play from the 2nd through to the 7th holes and additional water hazards were incorporated into the design to strength the home stretch of holes, starting at the short 15th.
