Austin Golf-Course Communities
A working map of the golf-course communities we cover across the Austin metro — Georgetown, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, and West Austin — with neighborhood pages and market context for each.
Golf-course communities in Austin are not a single market. Membership structure, course pedigree, HOA rules, school district, and buyer profile vary widely — a Sun City buyer and a Flintrock Falls buyer are almost never the same person. This page groups the communities we track so you can compare them side by side before touring.

Lost Creek sits in the western hills near the Lost Creek Country Club course, with mature-tree lots, greenbelt exposure, and Eanes ISD access shaping long-term demand.
Cimarron Hills
Georgetown · Williamson County · ZIP 78628
Cimarron Hills is a gated Georgetown community built around a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, with clubhouse amenities, custom homes, and a buyer profile that skews second-home and active-retirement.
Twin Creeks
Cedar Park · Williamson County · ZIP 78613
Twin Creeks in Cedar Park pairs a Fred Couples-designed course with a walkable country-club core, drawing families and downsizers who want Leander ISD access without leaving amenity living.

Forest Creek in Round Rock is built around a mature municipal-style course, with established landscaping, family-buyer concentration, and Round Rock ISD zoning driving demand.

Berry Creek in Georgetown surrounds a country-club course with a mix of custom estates, garden homes, and long-tenure ownership that keeps inventory selective.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I look for when buying in an Austin golf-course community?
- Confirm whether club membership is mandatory, bundled, or optional; review HOA and club dues separately; and understand what the fees fund. Lot orientation to the course also affects noise, ball traffic, and privacy.
- Do I have to join the golf club to live in these communities?
- It varies by community. Some Austin-area golf communities require membership at purchase, others make it optional, and a few are gated with mandatory social dues but optional golf. We confirm the current structure in writing before you write an offer.
- How do golf-course homes hold value compared to nearby non-golf homes?
- Golf-course frontage typically commands a premium tied to view, hole exposure, and club reputation, but resale depth depends on the buyer pool for that specific community. We benchmark against both on-course and off-course comps in the same ZIP.
- Are golf-course communities good for families, or mostly retirees?
- It depends on the community. Sun City is exclusively 55+. Cimarron Hills, Berry Creek, and Flintrock Falls skew second-home and active-retirement. Twin Creeks, Forest Creek, Falconhead, Crystal Falls, and Lost Creek attract more families anchored to their local school districts.
- What are the ongoing costs beyond the mortgage?
- Expect a combination of HOA dues, club or social dues, capital contributions at purchase, property tax at the community's rate, and sometimes MUD or PID assessments. We provide a written carrying-cost estimate for each home under consideration.
- Which Austin golf communities are best for out-of-state buyers relocating?
- That depends on your priorities — course pedigree, school district, drive time to downtown or the airport, gated versus non-gated, and whether you want a full-time or second-home purchase. We build a shortlist against those inputs rather than a generic ranking.
