About

Holes 18
Type Private
Par 72
Length 6781 yards
Slope 135
Rating 72.5

Patterned after the successful Robert Von Hagge/Bruce Devlin-designed Walden on Lake Conroe, this course opened in 1982 and immediately became known for its numerous bunkers and lakes. Considered a shotmaker's course, this layout features over 100 bunkers and requires precise play throughout.

Holes of note are the intimidating opening hole-a long, bending par 4 with a lake guarding the right side. Beware of the pin placement on this multi-tiered green. No. 8 is a 429-yard par 4 that requires a long drive and perfect approach because of the channel that guards the tiny, bunker-loaded green. On the back No. 14 is the best, dominated by a large lake in the fairway. At 444 yards it also requires a challengingly long approach into a small green.

Getting there : From U.S. Hwy. 59 north, take the FM 1960 exit and go east for 8 miles to the course. The clubhouse is on the right side of the road.

Lots of opportunity

I heard the course is under new management. This was my first time playing. I enjoyed the course layout the most. Have to be strategic and play smart.

It took us 5 hours to complete the round on a Sunday afternoon. No carts were readily available. Had to wait for groups to finish for them to clean and reuse. No water in the two jugs available on the course. No starter to send off groups. I believe we saw a cart girl one time in the 5 hours.

The course has plenty of opportunity to be one of the best public courses. I did enjoy the round. I’m just writing so they can know where to improve. I think the price is a bit high for where the course is at currently but in the future with improvements I can see them charging that price.

Fun Round

It would have been good to know that the fairways on the front nine were aerated. This detracted from the playability of the course. But otherwise, it was a fun course to play.

Pleasant Surprise

1st time playing the course. it was fair but you really need to be able to work your ball. the House's are way to close to the fairway. I did not end up in anyone's backyard but my playmates did multiple times. This course is challenging. I will be back.

Hard as a rock

I played the course recently after seeing it online for $40. I played the course over a decade ago and did not remember much about it. I enjoyed the course layout. It has many tight fairways and small greens that require some accuracy off the tee and in your approach. Despite all these great things, the condition of the course was a little uncared for and hard as a rock. The condition of the course made the whole experience uncomfortable.

Ehh

Was nice to play a new course and they’ve opened up to the public to attract new players. Staff was great. Driving range was serviceable, I think it was the last day before they moved to fresh grass. Carts were nice, but no gps. Tee boxes were decent enough and greens were in good shape. Fairways were not in good shape. Layout was tight in the neighborhood, cart path was bad. Leave your driver at home, too much hidden water (at least for a first time player), lots of tight landing areas. And with the hard deck rolls ended up in water. Just mouthing really stood out to me.

Was glad I played, but not worth the $80

A Course on the Rise

Walden on Lake Houston is under new management, and you can definitely see the effort being put into bringing the course back. It’s a work in progress, but that’s to be expected—these kinds of upgrades take time and investment.

The layout itself is really well designed and makes for a fun and challenging round. You’ll need to think your way around the course, which keeps it interesting. The greens are in good shape and roll well, and the fairways are coming in nicely as they continue to grow and improve.

Overall, it’s great to see the direction the course is heading. With a little more time, this place has the potential to be something special again. Definitely worth getting out there and supporting the turnaround.

Great Value!

The greens and tee boxes were in very good shape. Bunkers were well maintained. Fairways were in good shape with a few steady still growing in. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Nice layout with some forced carries and ball positioning is critical.

Perfect!

We had not played the course in many years and were very pleasantly surprised. I cannot remember the last time I gave every item of the rating process a top rating.

The people in the pro shop were friendly, professional and very helpful. The greens were superb.

We will be back very soon.

Interesting layout

Nice golf course. Unfortunately they charge high rental costs for an old mix of clubs I got. 40$.

Clubs are not worth it.

Not in good shape

Played this course today for the first time in 25yrs and I was very disappointed. I haven’t been able to play here because this used to be a private club. Now I can see why they are offering tee times on GN because they have lost the course and possibly members. . The tee boxes had lots of bare spots as well as the fairways. The only good thing about today’s round was the greens even though they were super slow. I won’t be coming back to the course because it’s not even worth $50 much less the $69 that the charge. Do yourself a favor and go play Tour 18 instead at 2pm you’ll be better off.
