Evergreen Point is in an area steeped in Texas history. The golf club is located just minutes from the San Jacinto Battlefield where Sam Houston and his army defeated the Mexican Army to gain independence for Texas. In 1848, Dr. Ashbel Smith, Surgeon General of the Texas Army and friend of Sam Houston, became the owner of the thousand acre "Evergreen Plantation." With the Purchase, he became the largest land owner in the vicinity.
In the mid 1990's the Hazelwood family obtained two hundred and five acres of land from the Ashbel Smith Foundation to build the golf course at Evergreen Point in memory of their mother, Betty Hazelwood. We hope you can come out and experience the challenging golf and a slice of Texas history here at Evergreen Point soon.
