The Hills of Lakeway sits in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin, where the rolling limestone terrain and native vegetation create the characteristic landscape of the region. The club features multiple courses, with the Yaupon course designed by Leon Howard, a Texas-based architect who worked on several projects in the state during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and rocky outcroppings typical of Hill Country golf. The Yaupon course plays through terrain marked by live oaks, cedar, and the native yaupon holly that gives the course its name. The layout incorporates the area's limestone formations and creek beds into the design, requiring golfers to navigate both elevation changes and the strategic challenges posed by the natural features. Water comes into play on several holes, and the greens are often elevated or protected by the surrounding topography. The Hills of Lakeway serves as a residential golf community, drawing members from the greater Austin area and the lakeside communities along Lake Travis. The club provides a Hill Country golf experience within reasonable proximity to the city, and the Yaupon course represents one option among the facilities available to members. The setting offers views across the surrounding hills and, from certain vantage points, glimpses of the lake that defines this part of the region.
