Walden on Lake Houston Golf & Country Club
About
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.

Courses greens currently need work. A lot of plumbing issues on several holes
Greens are terrible, fairways are drying up
Only about 3 or 4 Greens are decent at best. Most Greens are bumpy, weedy and/or thick like velcro. You would not get a true roll. Fairways and tee boxes are drying up, a step towards hard pan. I know its midst of summer but I hope they dont let it slide down. Where are the snotty members?
Fuzzy greens
We have played this course several times in the last year. This is the first time I remember playing on greens that need work. Not just mowing, but weeding.
Great courses should always have great greens.
Great First Time
Great first time outing at Walden. I learned that they are under new management and some holes you can tell, need a bit of work but overall it was a really good outing. Some tight fairways with the houses but it was a fun time. I'll definitely return.
Do not recommend anyone to go here
Very disappointing experience. The marshal followed our group several times and stayed with us on the last couple of holes, making us feel more harassed than helped. The tee boxes were extremely hard, the greens were in poor condition, and overall the course wasn’t worth the price. I won’t be returning.
Avoid this course
Marshall was a racist who kept hounding my group during our round. Our flight was 20 minutes behind schedule from the first tee box due to the fivesome they allowed to play. This course should go back to being full private and let this behavior exterminate itself with the staff’s lifespan.
John’s Walden round
Been looking forward to trying this course for years as it was previously private. I was extremely disappointed in the course conditions. Weeds in fairway and on greens, extreme erosion around several drain off areas and adjacent to cart path.About $50 a person on golf now, should be $30 in my opinion.
Pace of play was awful.
6 hour rounds don’t cut it. I quit after 9 (and 3 hours).
play it while you can!!
nice course, fun lay out. course looks to be coming along nicely, greens were just punched and sanded when we played. a situational lay out, ya cant just blindly bomb it. has a few nice views of Lake Houston as well.
Greens sucks
Greens were in horrible conditions still charged 60 bucks 🤔
Beautiful course!
Really enjoyed the course. Very well maintained. Greens were extremely fast. Really liked the layout.
Great course , but can be slow play!
On the front got behind a group of 5. Was playing slow !!! Jump them on the turn and made it time .
If you are learning to play don’t come out Saturday midday !! Go out in the middle of the week and learn .
