Signature at The Hills of Lakeway

The Signature Course at The Hills of Lakeway sits in the Texas Hill Country west of Austin, where the rolling limestone terrain and views of Lake Travis provide the setting for this Jack Nicklaus design. Opened in the mid-1980s as part of a residential golf community, the course reflects Nicklaus's approach to strategic design during that period, with emphasis on multiple tee options and risk-reward decision-making. The property's elevation changes and natural rock outcroppings shape the character of the routing.

The layout moves through the Hill Country landscape with holes that incorporate the region's characteristic live oak trees and limestone features. Several holes play along ridgelines or down toward lower elevations, creating variety in perspective and shot requirements. The greens typically feature Nicklaus's preference for contouring that rewards accurate approach play, and bunkers are positioned to define ideal angles of attack.

The Hills of Lakeway operates as a private club serving its residential community and members from the greater Austin area. The facility includes additional golf amenities and club services typical of an established Texas Hill Country development. The Signature Course represents one of several Nicklaus designs in the Austin region from this era, when the area saw significant golf course development tied to lakeside and hill country real estate.
