A CLUB BUILT ON COMMUNITY

Since its opening in 1988, Bay Oaks Country Club has evolved into a vibrant hub where like-minded individuals gather to forge lasting memories, foster strong relationships, and cultivate family traditions in an environment that caters to fitness, swimming, and social experiences.

OUR STORY

Bay Oaks Country Club in the Clear Lake area of Houston traces its roots to a 1963 vision with an official opening in 1988. Designed by Arthur Hills, it was built among wooded land and moss-draped oaks, quickly becoming a premier private club for the NASA/Clear Lake community.
