History

The Quail Valley Golf Course is best known for the 1973 and 1974 hosting of the Houston Open, a golf tournament on the Professional Golf Association Tour. It continues to host numerous local and regional tournaments.

Located in the first master planned community in Fort Bend County, it first opened under private ownership and management in 1970. It is in the geographic center of Missouri City and lies in 400 acres of green space with rolling terrain.

The Quail Valley Golf Course is owned by the City of Missouri City, which opened the 18-hole La Quinta on July 4, 2008. The other 18-hole golf course, El Dorado, was redesigned by Jeff Blume and was rebuilt by Heritage Links. Its original design was by Jack Miller and first opened in 1970. Both of the golf courses make up about 250 acres of the green space property.

Originally designed as a country club amenity, the Quail Valley Golf Course is now a public golf course open for everyone. The remaining acreage is undergoing plans for other recreational opportunities for residents to enjoy.
