The Woodlands Country Club (Player)

Overview: The Player Course at The Woodlands Country Club is a Gary Player design in the Village of Sterling Ridge. Soft mounds, white bunkers and guarded landing areas create a strategic parkland test, with the back tees playing to par 72 and about 7,115 yards.

History: Gary Player’s signature course opened in 2002 as part of The Woodlands’ expanding golf community. The course page presents the design as a deliberate exercise in shotmaking, with different club choices and approach angles shaping the round more than raw length alone.

Did You Know? The elevated false front on the first green can make the approach play longer than the card suggests, a small example of how the course uses contour to turn a seemingly simple opening hole into a precise start.
