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's 12th best course (Golf Digest, 2025/26).
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
