About this course

Original at Onion Creek Golf Club stands as a testament to the enduring vision of three-time Masters champion, Jimmy Demaret, whose larger-than-life personality is woven into the very fabric of this Austin institution. Playing across classic Texas parkland, the course presents a straightforward test, favoring players who can move the ball right to left. Strategic bunkering and subtle elevation changes around the greens provide its primary defenses. Demaret himself originally designed the course, intending it as a friendly but fair challenge, though it lacks a particularly notable design or tournament history. Instead, Onion Creek has always been considered a haven for the local golf enthusiast. While the course may not boast major championship pedigree, it fosters a deeply rooted community, with a membership known for its convivial spirit and unwavering love for the game. A round at Onion Creek, is a journey back to a simpler era of golf.
