No ratings yet

The Club at Carlton Woods is a private, two-course golf club at the center of the guard-gated Carlton Woods and Carlton Woods Creekside home communities in The Woodlands, Texas. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course opened in 2001, personally designed by Jack Nicklaus, and the Tom Fazio Championship Course followed in 2005 in the Creekside community — both were named Golf Digest’s "Best New Private Course in Texas" and a top-3 new private course nationally in their respective debut years. The club has been recognized as a Platinum Club of America (ranking it among the top 150 country clubs in the U.S.) since 2017.
