Austin Golf Club, as distinct from the also private Austin Country Club, is home to a well-rated Coore-Crenshaw layout. Regarded by many as one of the best kept golfing secrets in central Texas, this is a private club, exclusively for the use of members and their invited guests. If you do get an invite to play here, look out for Ben Crenshaw himself ... a frequent visitor to the Club.
The Club is located a 30-minute drive from the centre of Austin, and occupies a quiet area of classic "Texas Hill Country". The surroundings here are relatively open, with live oaks, cactus, native grasses and scrub in abundance. The clubhouse sits on a high point in the centre of the property, with the excellently crafted holes fanning out from it to the north, east and west.
Private club; visitors/guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Golf Carts & Caddies available.
The city of Austin is the capital city of the state of Texas, the 11th most populous in the United States, and the fourth most populous in Texas behind Houston, San Antonio and Dallas. Residents of Austin are known as Austinites, while the University of Texas in Austin is home to the Texas Longhorns ... 100 mi to the east is the city of the College Station, home to Texas A&M University, and the Longhorns' arch-rivals, the Texas Aggies.
Texas: 9th best course in Texas (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.
