Walden On Lake Houston
The golf : 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.
