Green fees

Our current green fees are listed on the Green Fees page and shown below. Our greens fees are among the lowest in all Houston-area courses, and because we drain so well, we are open when other golf courses are closed.

Senior rates are for players age 60 and above, junior rates are for players under age 18, and twilight varies according to the time of the year. Current twilight hours are listed on the home page under operating hours.

Golf course membership

Having a membership is not required, but it will save you money if you play more than once a week or have more than one golfer in the family.

Membership is only $85 per month and includes unlimited golfing for you and your immediate family (everyone you can claim on your tax return). We have very few golf tournaments or other events that close the course, so you can get on whenever you like and play golf! Swimming is included year round, and membership also includes many other perks and discounts. Find out more on the Membership Information page.

Dress code
Men are required to wear shirts with sleeves and presentable pants, shorts, or jeans. Collared shirts are not required. Cutoffs and tank tops are not allowed for gentlemen.

Women may wear sleeved or sleeveless tops and pants, shorts, skirts, or jeans. Cutoffs, halters, and swim wear are not allowed on the golf course. Midriffs must be covered. Tasteful tank tops (such as sleeveless golf shirts) are allowed for women.

Tee shirts are allowed, but tee shirts must not contain inappropriate remarks. Inappropriate remarks are determined by the management.

Operating hours
We are open from sunrise to dusk seven days a week, 364½ days per year. Our current operating hours are posted on the home page on the left accordion menu (the menu that looks like this one, only smaller).
Senior, junior, & twilight discount
Alvin Golf & Country Club offers discounted green fee prices during the week for seniors and juniors as well as a discounted weekday twilight rate for green fees and cart. Senior rates are for players age 60 and above, junior rates are for players under age 18, and twilight varies according to the time of the year. Current twilight hours are listed on the home page under operating hours.

Our greens fees are listed on the Green Fees page and in the first section above.
