Beau Welling progresses on Texas’ Travis Club Austin
Published:
Work began on the Travis Club Austin, a new par-72 design from Beau Welling, in the spring. Located on the banks of Lake Travis, the new course will be the centerpiece of a 1,500-acre community west of Austin, Texas, that will feature 10,000 feet of lake frontage.
“Our team and I are excited to have broken ground at the Travis Club and to start working on bringing the design to life,” said Welling in late April. “Travis Club is going to be a truly special addition to the Texas golf scene and anchor to the outstanding Travis Club community. Our goals with the design were to honor the stunning Hill Country landscape along Lake Travis and create a course that people would enjoy playing time and time again, regardless of their skill level.”
Beau Welling Design senior designer and vice president Scott Benson is assisting Welling in creating the new layout. The firm has enjoyed spectacular success in Texas in recent years, with their well-received designs at Bluejack National and Fields Ranch West at Omni PGA Frisco.
“From the first tee to the final putt, this 18-hole golf wonder will never cease to amaze, whether it’s green-ribboned fairways winding past oaks, low-cut green surrounds, or the abundance of panoramic vistas and technicolor sunsets,” said Jimmy Terry, Travis Club vice president of development. “Welling and his team have walked the land countless times with a mind toward creating a golf experience that takes advantage of the drama the land presents and at the same time helps foster the human connections inherent to the game.”
In addition to the golf facilities, Travis Club will offer residents access to more than 65 miles of water, 30-plus miles of private hiking and biking trails, a lakefront clubhouse, private marina, event lawn, pool and racquet facilities.
Travis Club is expected to open late in 2025.
