The Golf Club of Houston is a private golf club in the United States, located in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, near Humble and northeast of Houston. With two 18-hole courses, it is primarily known for its Tournament Course and the PGA Tour event it has held since 2003, the Shell Houston Open. The course was designed by Rees Jones and tour pro David Toms.

Established in 2002 as Redstone Golf Club, it was purchased by Escalante Golf of Fort Worth in April 2013 and renamed that December. The Member Course is private, but the Tournament Course is open to the public. The Member Course originally hosted the PGA Tour, which switched to the Tournament Course in 2006.

The previous club, Redstone Golf Club, was also home of the Shell Houston Open. The first phase of Redstone Golf Club with a course totally redesigned by the golf course architect Jacobsen-Hardy Golf Design opened in July 2002 and included an 18-hole golf course, clubhouse facilities, maintenance facilities, and restaurant.

The original 18-hole golf course on the location was El Dorado Country Club. It was designed by George Fazio in the 1964, and included a log-cabin-style clubhouse which had been a private home and a small swimming pool surrounded by tall pine trees. El Dorado Country Club was closed in the early 1990's, a victim of a suffering Houston economy following the oil bust. The original clubhouse was demolished.
