What a beautiful place!…read more We hob-knobbed with Houston's FInest Cowboys and Cowgirls last night at a benefit gala for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The event was the Ben Johnson Memorial Cowboy Classic. The country club is one of the oldest and by far, the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff was on point, professional and always accomodating. They served us a 3-course dinner with grace and lots of charm! the food was very good. We had a petite filet topped with lump crabmeat and a bearnaise sauce on the side with perfectly grilled asparagus and roasted fingerling potatoes. The best part? The homemade vanilla topped with your choice of fudge or butterscoth syrup. The butterscotch was heavenly (Jocelyn, our server, even gave me a second spoonful!) Parking was easy and valet service is available of course. My advice? Pinky out!

I thought the tournament was organized very well. It was easy to find open seats, and the workers did a good job of managing the crowds. The food options were okay, they sold out of some stuff by the afternoon. I settled for a hamburger since I think they ran out of some BBQ items. Decent amount of little shops to visit, but nothing worth buying in my opinion. Cute photo ops and decor. Felt like a little tennis village. Overall, it was really cool to see professional tennis up close for free. The grounds are kept clean and the country club definitely gives off a luxurious vibe!

I didn't have a chance to play golf but from what I saw, the course is beautiful and challenging. If I was looking for a high quality event space, or an impressive corporate perk, I would put this place on my short list.

The most perfect wedding venue in Houston. Absolutely beautiful! After 3 months and 6 site visits…read morewithin Houston, our final stop at The Briar Club immediately sealed our decision. Lucky for us, there was a spectacular wedding there the day we were taking the tour. No exaggeration, it was a dream wedding. By far the most beautifully decorated wedding ceremony I've ever seen. To put that statement into context, I've been to over 20 weddings in Texas alone. After the tour, we were determined to host a wedding as beautiful as the one we witnessed. We only succeeded because of what this venue has to offer. The lighting is layered and complex. It automatically makes you warm and happy inside. The table settings are crystal clean and beautifully arranged. The venue is open with very high ceilings giving any event a grandiose effect. Finally, don't think too much about the Chiavari chairs. Just Do It. They are totally worth it. Our wedding had about 170 total attendees, but whether it be 150 or 300 people, the venue doesn't ever feel "empty" or "crowded." It truly is magical. I would like to give 10 stars for the food alone. Fine dining quality food you actually want to eat. You want a real life example of how delicious the slow braised beef ribs were? Some of our guests literally requested to go boxes! The mashed potatoes and wedge salad are better than most restaurants in Houston. The honey glazed salmon was cooked perfectly, moist and succulent packed with flavor. Lastly, the plated dinner portions are gigantic! Coming from a family of brothers who can eat 1lb burgers for lunch without a problem, their plate of food is over the top filling. I am honestly going back to the venue just to have dinner because it just became one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. What's a party without drinks? Their premium bar is light years ahead of other venues. When they say premium Bar Selection, they don't just give you the wimpy 3 brand selection. The Briar Clubs includes a full open bar with 6 choices of whiskey including Johnnie Walker Black, 5 choices of vodka including Grey Goose, 4 choices of gin including Hendrick's, 5 choices of tequila including Don Julio, 8 choices of beer including Corona Extra and Heineken, and finally 2 selection of wine of your choice. This also includes all mixers, after dinner coffee and tea bar, as well as unlimited soft drinks. As if that's not enough, they allow shots! Request it from the waiters and they will bring you generous pours of liquor shots in actual glassware. Now that's a party! Finally, perhaps the most important factor is the staff. We are undoubtedly social creatures and who you work with is vital to the success of your event. Sameh the banquet manager is someone I respect tremendously. Not only because he provided some of the best service I have ever experienced, but he is flexible, respectful and understanding no matter what situation pops up unexpectedly. I learned Sameh used to hold a top position at the Four Seasons, but him and his staff goes beyond what I have experienced through all of the 5 star hotels I have stayed at. If Sameh is still there when you book this venue, I highly recommend this venue. He is a good leader that will make you feel at ease. On such a life changing day, you want a stronger leader to cover your back. Our wedding day was the happiest day of our life. Anyone getting married is bound to be anxious but everything was perfect that day. The Briar Club will live fondly in my memories as one of the happiest places in my life. It has left an everlasting sparkle in my heart.

A members only private country club where you need to be invited to play. Built in the 1930's,…read moresurround by fortress like walls hidden away from street view with thick oak forests. Braeburn is a private country club setup for the enjoyment of it's members. Once located in a very affluent neighborhood isolated from the city traffic with Demerit as the club pro, now engulfed by the Sharpstown and Braes-wood ward like drift wood structures. The course it's self is very nice, but unless guided by a member or caddy it's a very confusing course to the eye. Lots of water, left to right, right to left. Long forced carry, terrain that can take away your stance if you make the mistake of getting used to the comfortable layup shot. The greens are firm and rolls true, not fast, but plenty dangerous with the movement of the carefully designed slopes. To have a course that's this established with no course guide is a shame. Braeburn Country Club is all about history, golf royalty and exclusivity. But the slum like apartments surrounding the course brings a sting of reality of a place time past by. Once upon a time, this might have been the pinnacle of Houston golf, now it is just a stain in history that refuses to acknowledge the change of time. My guess is as the older members disappear, this course will fade away in to history, like all the black and white pictures adorn it's dinning halls.
