Walden on Lake Conroe Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, opened in 1976 on the shores of Lake Conroe in Montgomery, Texas, and has served since as the anchor amenity of the Walden community, platted for roughly 5,300 dwellings ranging from estate homes to condominiums. The par-72, 6,765-yard course is Golf Digest-ranked among Texas's top courses by club marketing, with its 582-yard par-5 11th hole cited by Golf Magazine among the "Top 500 Greatest Golf Holes in the World."
Golf & Course
The course moved over 300,000 cubic yards of earth during construction to extend its lakefront frontage, and its back-nine stretch of three consecutive par-5s -- culminating in the well-regarded 582-yard 11th along the lake -- is the course's signature sequence.
