Woodlands Resort, TX
The Woodlands Resort is home to two championship golf courses, located at its Trails property (formerly known as The Golf Trails at the Woodlands). Now part of The Woodlands Country Club offering of five courses, the resort's North course (previously known as the Panther course) heads "out-and-back" from the resort centre, as does its neighbour, the West course (formerly known as the Oaks course).
In addition to The Woodlands Resort courses (North and West), The Woodlands Country Club also operates the private Tournament, Player and Palmer courses. These are also located in the outer-Houston suburb of The Woodlands.
The often higher-rated North course was originally laid out by Joe Lee and Robert Von Hagge, and substantially renovated by Roy Case in 2002. The course is characterised by large greenside and fairway bunkers, gently rolling fairways and tall Carolina pine lining every hole. There's plenty of water to be avoided on the challenging back-nine, not least at the island green par-4 18th.
Complementing the North course is the also championship length West course, which features generous fairways, and large rolling greens with substantial greenside bunkering. Bordering Lake Harrison, the par-4 18th hole epitomises the natural beauty and inherent challenges of West course.

The Woodlands CC (Palmer and Player courses); Carlton Woods (Nicklaus and Fazio courses); Augusta Pines; Woodforest; Cypresswood; Champions GC.
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
