if there was any water nearby it might be a water mocassin. they look exactly like you are describing.
Yes, there is a branch of the San Jacinto River, that is right next to the course. Its about 100ft from where we saw the snake.

Can they really move that fast on land? This snake moved like lightning.
if they are coiled they can jump and then dart super quick. at least the ones i have seen in central florida where i used to live. it scares the crap out of you the first time you see it happen.
The coral snake is the only exception I know of.i believe all poisonous snakes have a triangular head and "cats eyes"...non poisonous have rounded heads and rounded eyes
The snake I described in the first post was about 2-1/2 long and was a little bigger around than a garden hose. He was brownish/blackish with no real noticable markings. Most of is body was under water in the shade so he was tough to see. I got out of there too quick to pay attention to head shape. Any ideas on what kind it might have been?
I hate to burst your bubble(or do i but those are not banana spiders, those giant yellow spiders are called banana spiders by most of us in texas me included until i looked it up and found out those spiders are not the poisonous banana spider but actually a non-poisonous spider we just call banana spiders for obvious reasons.Those are called "Bananna Spiders" and they are all over my home course , River Grove Park in Kingwood, TX . And I mean, you see them every 25 feet in the summer time. They used to scare the s**t out of me, but after seeing some huge snakes at the course, I like the spiders, because they don't bother you as long as you don't bother them. I have heard they do bite if they get pissed, but I have neven been bit.
Story #1 - My uncle was fishing at night by himself and was bitten in the calf by a cotton mouth water moccasin. After a week in the hospital they amputated his left leg. A week after that they amputated his right leg. Two days later he was dead. It was from gangrene. Cotton mouths are very aggressive and are one of the few snakes that will chase you. That's how it got him in the calf.
Story #2 - My friend was noodling for catfish in the river and found an underwater cave. He went up inside it to check it out. It was a den of copperheads. After being bitten by more than 20 different snakes he died before he could swim back to the other side of the river.
Needless to say I don't like snakes.
