Situated on the east side of the University of Houston, the Lawndale-Wayside neighborhood began as the home of a prestigious country club, the Wortham Golf Center. Built in 1908, this golf course was once the premier golfing destination for Houston's elite; today, this 18-hole golf course is being restored by Wortham Park Friends, a group organized to protect and maintain the course, which is the oldest 18-hole golf course in Texas.
The Lawndale-Wayside neighborhood is part of Houston's East End district and is defined by its 1900s-style bungalows and wooded areas. Mason Park and the Buffalo Bayou also add to the natural beauty of the neighborhood, which is deceptively close to downtown Houston – only about 13 miles. It is even closer to Minute Maid Park, the Toyota Center, and the BBVA Compass Stadium.
