Woodlands Country Club
Nestled amid the tall pines and boasting four distinctive clubhouses and five signature golf courses, The Woodlands Country Club defines the classic Texas country club lifestyle—equal parts recreation and community. Beyond golf, a 30,000-square-foot Racquet Center features both hard and clay courts for tennis and pickleball, while two state-of-the-art fitness facilities and the resort-style Blu Pool bring wellness into daily life. The Woodlands Country Club offers an all-encompassing experience for those who value tradition, togetherness, and the art of living well.

Recognized as a Platinum Club of America, this private enclave blends exclusivity, artistry, and natural beauty across its two championship courses: the Jack Nicklaus Signature and the Tom Fazio Championship, each among the most celebrated in Texas. Within its gated estate setting, members discover a full complement of wellness offerings—tennis, fitness, spa, and pool, all designed with an eye toward enduring refinement. Architecture inspired by Italian heritage frames the experience, while attentive service and a discerning culture maintain its reputation as one of the nation’s premier private clubs.
