Cowan Creek Golf Club

Cowan Creek Golf Club is a daily-fee facility located in Georgetown, Texas, approximately thirty miles north of Austin. Designed by Gary Stephenson and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling Hill Country terrain characteristic of central Texas, with elevation changes, native grasses, and scattered live oak trees shaping the playing corridors. The layout takes advantage of natural drainage patterns and creek beds that define several holes and introduce strategic considerations for approach shots and recovery play. The routing moves across varied topography, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and others following relatively flat stretches along lower ground. Water features appear intermittently, typically in the form of creeks or ponds that guard greens or bisect fairways. Bunkers are positioned to challenge tee shots on the longer par fours and to protect green complexes on scoring opportunities. The design reflects a straightforward approach common to Texas public courses of its era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough length and hazard placement to test better players. Georgetown's location in the northern reaches of the Austin metropolitan area has made Cowan Creek a convenient option for local residents and visitors exploring the region's golf offerings. The course serves a community-oriented membership and daily-fee clientele, with typical Texas club amenities including a practice facility and casual dining. It remains a functional layout within the competitive landscape of central Texas public golf.
