About this course
Woodforest Golf Club sits within the master-planned Woodforest community in Montgomery, Texas, roughly 30 miles north of Houston. The course was designed by Steve Elkington, the Australian professional golfer who won the 1995 PGA Championship and multiple PGA Tour events during the 1990s and early 2000s. Elkington has designed several courses in Texas and elsewhere, bringing a player's perspective to his routing and strategic choices. The layout occupies rolling East Texas terrain characterized by native pines, hardwoods, and natural wetland areas typical of the region. The design incorporates elevation changes and wooded corridors that provide definition and variety across the holes. Water features appear on several holes, and the routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours to create strategic interest from the tee and into greens. The course serves the residential community while also welcoming outside play. Woodforest operates as part of a larger amenity package within the development, which includes additional recreational facilities and a focus on family-oriented programming. The club provides a range of tee options to accommodate different skill levels, and the conditioning reflects the warm, humid climate of the Gulf Coast region. The course offers a straightforward test of golf within a setting that balances playability with the natural landscape of Montgomery County.
