The West Course at the Trails
18 Holes of Pure Woodlands Golf
Designer: Joe Lee and Robert von Hagge; Redesigned by Jay Morrish & Associates
The West Course is one of two scenic 18-hole golf courses at the Trails property, previously known as the Golf Trails of the Woodlands. Formerly known as the Oaks Course, this par 72 provides Members and their guests with an unforgettable golf experience. Towering oak trees frame wide, forgiving fairways, while huge greenside bunkers call for accuracy on the approach. Large undulating greens are a characteristic feature of the West Course, covering more than 4,500 square feet of surface area for ample opportunities to practice your lag putting.

Course Highlights
Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy a round at the West Course. The course design combines the area’s natural wooded scenery with generous landing areas and forced water carries for variety on every hole.
Course Highlights
Hole 16 ranks among the West Course’s most unique holes. Tee off by a small pond, cross over a stream bisecting the fairway, then shoot for the pin with water on the right. Despite its hazards, 16 remains a Member favorite due to its natural beauty.
Course Highlights
Cap off your round on the fun and short par-4 18th. Lake Harrison borders along the right-hand side, adding both to the visual appeal and psychological test of skill as you step up to the tee box.
