Cimarron Hills Golf & Country Club


About this course
Cimarron Hills Golf & Country Club sits in Georgetown, Texas, roughly thirty miles north of Austin in the Hill Country region. Jack Nicklaus designed the course, which opened in the late 1980s as part of a residential community development. The layout takes advantage of the area's rolling limestone terrain, native oak and juniper vegetation, and intermittent creek corridors that characterize this part of central Texas. The routing moves across elevation changes that are modest by mountain standards but significant for the region, offering views across the surrounding hills and creating natural variety in shot values and club selection. Fairways tend to be generous in width, consistent with Nicklaus's design philosophy of rewarding accuracy without excessive punishment off the tee, though strategic bunkering and green complexes demand thoughtful approach play. The greens feature moderate undulation and are protected by bunkers positioned to challenge both aerial and ground approaches. Cimarron Hills serves primarily as a private country club for its members and the surrounding residential community. The club offers traditional amenities including dining facilities and practice areas. The course reflects the characteristics of Texas Hill Country golf: a parkland feel shaped by native hardwoods, limestone outcroppings, and the natural drainage patterns of the landscape. It provides a solid test of golf within a setting typical of the region's topography and climate.
