Golfer’s Getaway to The Woodlands

"A golf course must be built for all golfers and should be truly beautiful. There can be no gimmicks; every aspect of the course must serve the game of golf in the purest sense." – Arnold Palmer 

Experience some of Texas’ most pristine holes, including an opportunity to play 27 designed by “The King” himself, Arnold Palmer. This weekend trip to The Woodlands is a golfer’s dream, with days spent on courses carved out among the tall Texas pines, and lush landscapes that challenge but do not overwhelm—coming together to create an incredible experience for players of all skill levels. 

For this trip, we’ve arranged deluxe accommodations at the impressive The Woodlands Resort, named one of the Top 10 Resorts in Texas and the Southwest by Conde Nast Traveler readers and one of Golf Digest’s Top 75 Best Golf Resorts in America. Here you’ll enjoy access to all of the resort’s amenities, including miles of nature trails, spa services, dining, and more. You’ll also have ample opportunity to tee off on some of the best courses in Texas.

During this golf-friendly, three-day getaway, Manifest has arranged for you to play 54 holes across three amazing courses. At the resort, you’ll play the sleek Panther Trail Course. Originally designed by Joe Lee and Robert Von Hagge and renovated in 2002 by Roy Case, this stunning course is known for its innovative contours, lush fairways framed by Texas wildflowers, and an 18th hole praised as the “Best Par 4 in Houston.”

Follow that with two renowned courses at the exclusive The Woodlands Country Club. We recommend starting with the 18-hole Tournament Course, which hosts PGA Champions each year for The Insperity Invitational and is widely recognized as one of the finest in Texas. Then, for a more relaxing round of play, try the signature Player Course, designed by the Black Knight, Gary Player, a gorgeous course that showcases the natural beauty of The Woodlands with water features on 11 of the 18 holes. Between rounds, enjoy a quick sit-down lunch at the club or grab something to go and eat as you play.

The Woodlands Country Club is also home to the challenging, 27-hole Palmer Course, designed by Arnold Palmer in the 1990s, with mounded terrain and intricate water hazards. While not part of the trip package, it is a course we can book for you if you want to try to fit in one more game before heading home.

Though golf is the focus for this amazing weekend, when you need a break from the greens, be sure to take in the surroundings of The Woodlands by walking or biking the area’s many wooded pathways, treat yourself to an in-room spa treatment, spend time on the water at Lake Woodlands, and grab dinner at any of the excellent restaurants onsite or just outside the resort grounds.

With so much to do and so many amazing courses to play, we know this is a golfer’s dream weekend you’ll never forget.
