CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF

The Woodforest Golf Club features a 27-hole championship course designed by PGA powerhouse Steve Elkington and rated one of the top 10 courses in Texas by Golf Digest. The club has hosted the PGA Champion’s Tour Regional Qualifier tournament every year since 2008 and in 2012 hosted both the USGA Amateur Qualifier and the Texas Golf Association Amateur Public Links Championship.

Opened in 2001, the public Woodforest Golf Club features three courses contoured with towering pine trees and old-growth oaks. As it meanders through the landscape, the course challenges golfers, while three sets of tees accommodate a variety of handicaps. Golfers hone their skills at generous practice facilities, including a driving range, separate putting and chipping greens, and fairway and greenside practice bunkers.

Woodforest residents can easily walk to the southern-style clubhouse, which also includes a restaurant and a full-service bar. A veranda overlooking the No. 18 hole accommodates parties large and small. And the Woodforest pro shop – stocked with a wide range of attire, bags, balls, clubs, foul weather gear, gift items and more – keeps Woodforest golfers well-outfitted. Watch for news in early 2013 about clubhouse expansions!

A variety of Woodforest Golf Club memberships are available, offering a wealth of members-only benefits. Individual and group lessons also are available, as are camps and clinics for juniors and ladies. For more information, visit www.woodforestgolf.com or become a fan of their Facebook page here.
