Blue Lake community provides a variety of recreation activities
for the property owners, their families and guest.
Golf
This 9 Hole course has been consistently included in the Top
10 Nine Hole Courses in the State of Texas
The Blue Lake Golf was formed in 1972 when
the Blue Lake Property Owners Association purchased the course
from the developer. Continuous improvements have been made
over the years including a sprinkler system in 1985, enlargement
of the clubhouse, and the addition of new tennis courts. In
1997 the course was connected to the effluent return water
line to conserve water.
The course, although it does not have any sand or water hazards,
is a challenging layout due to the rolling terrain, granite
outcroppings, rough, and elevated greens. The course was designed
by Joe Finger of Houston.
Two employees, a pro shop manager and a course manager, oversee
the operation of the course on a daily basis. A seven-member
board of directors that is elected by the membership has the
overall responsibility for the Club.
Presently, there are 168 members of the Club. The Club maintains
a lending library of books furnished by members, hosts numerous
social activities including a monthly Cocktails and Conversation
(C & C) with dinner provided by participants. The clubhouse
also serves as a social center for other activities including
aerobics classes, bible study classes, card games and the
like.
