The 10 Most Overrated Courses in America
5 of 10
5. Champions Golf Club (Cypress Creek)
Houston, Tex.
Champions was founded as an Augusta National—style retreat 50 years ago by Texas golf legends Jimmy Demaret and Jackie Burke, but the only thing this Ralph Plummer design shares with its Georgia counterpart is that Tiger Woods has won at both. The grand history—a U.S. Open, a Ryder Cup and multiple Tour Championships—doesn't compensate for the flat fairways, shapeless bunkers and overgrown ditches masquerading as water hazards.
