Texaco Country Club is
located
approximately twelve (12) miles northeast of downtown Houston off
Interstate 10. The club is on 140.9 acre tract of land which is
owned by
The Houston Parks Board for the purpose of establishing and operating a recreational
facility.
First known as Camp Beaty, Texaco
Country
Club has become an institution around Houston. It was built in 1924
and named in honor of Amos Beaty, then President of the Texas
Company. Rob't A. John in his words at the dedication of the
club on August 30th, 1924, highly touted the camp's chief promoter
Dan Moran, whose zeal, energy, and enthusiasm has made this
beautiful sylvan home possible. Six years later a nine-hole
golf course was built. The name of the camp was changed to Texaco Country Club
in 1937, and the golf course expanded to 18 holes in 1940. In
January of 2005, ChevronTexaco announced the donation of this 141
acre site to
The Houston Parks Board.
