Foley & Lardner LLP served as legal advisor to Concert Golf Partners, a boutique owner-operator of upscale private golf and country clubs nationwide, in its acquisition of two private clubs in the Houston area: Northgate Country Club and Walden on Lake Conroe Golf Club.
This acquisition marks Concert Golf’s entry into the Texas market, expanding Concert’s portfolio to a total of 32 private clubs across the U.S. and representing another significant step forward in its mission to preserve and enhance premier private country clubs across the country.
Established in 1983, Northgate Country Club is considered North Houston’s premier golf club and the centerpiece of the upscale Northgate Forest community. Northgate features 18 holes of Championship Golf designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge, an executive 5-hole course aptly named the “Fast-Five,” eight lighted tennis courts, three pools, and a clubhouse for member dining, social events, and the member-favorite Sunday Brunch.
Walden on Lake Conroe Golf Club, located 45 minutes north of Northgate on beautiful Lake Conroe, opened in 1976. Previously ranked by Golf Digest as the best course in the Houston area and the 5th best in Texas, the course features a par 5, 11th hole once ranked by GOLF Magazine as one of the top 500 holes in the world. Given its prestige, Walden has hosted significant events over the years including the TGA South Amateur Championship, Women’s Texas Cup, and PGA Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying School.
The Foley deal team was led by partners Thomas Little and Van Tengberg and senior counsel Allison McKown.
