TRAVIS CLUB:

Travis Club is a 1,500-acre private, family-centric, golf and lake community amidst rolling hills and stately oaks on Lake Travis. Featuring an 18-hole golf course designed by Beau Welling, 10,000+ feet of lake frontage, an extensive Club campus, 30+ miles of private hiking and biking trails, and sports courts, the community offers an abundance of programming bringing together the joy of family and the thrill of new adventures. Fueled by passion, the team behind Travis Club is determined to bring the vision to life. Our singular goal is to create a club that is the fabric of our community with exceptional facilities, fine dining, and exciting family sports and social programs.

The centerpiece of the community will undoubtedly be the magnificent 18-hole course brought to life by golf course designer, Beau Welling. These magical holes take advantage of an extraordinary setting with dramatic elevation changes, stunning hilltop panoramas, and even a thrilling tee shot across the lake. This picturesque course will be sodded with Stadium zoysia grass on tees and fairways along with Tif-3D Bermuda as the grass of choice for putting surfaces. A touch of buffalo grass tying into Texas hill country native blend will add texture and contrast for rough areas.

We invite you to be part of it all — right from the start.
