About this course

Home to the Longhorns golf teams, The University of Texas Golf Club winds through the rolling Texas Hill Country northwest of Austin, a landscape as integral to the university’s identity as Bevo. Designed by Bechtol Russell Golf in the early 2000s, the course presents a modern take on Hill Country golf. While not boasting the length of some modern layouts, accuracy off the tee becomes paramount, particularly navigating the doglegs that weave through the native oaks and cedars. The generous fairways belie the challenge that awaits on approach, demanding precise iron play to small, subtly undulating greens. The wind, a constant companion in this elevated region, further complicates club selection. The clubhouse is known for its panoramic views of the course, particularly at sunset, and has become a popular spot for University faculty and staff gatherings. Beyond its collegiate ties, the club maintains a strong membership base of alumni and Austin residents. While the UT Golf Club is not steeped in decades of tournament history, it consistently holds collegiate championships and local amateur events, making it a key part of the Austin golf community. Its role as the home of the Longhorns golf program ensures a steady stream of young talent gracing its fairways.

Getting there

The University of Texas Golf Club lies just twenty minutes southwest of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, making it one of the more effortlessly accessible championship facilities in the state. The drive traces a gentle arc through the Texas Hill Country's eastern edge, where the flat expanse of the airport corridor gradually yields to rolling limestone terrain and scattered live oak mottes. As you turn onto the club's approach road, the landscape opens to reveal the Longhorn-branded entrance and the sprawling Roy Kizer Golf Course beyond - a fitting welcome to a facility that serves both as a proving ground for collegiate champions and a quietly sophisticated retreat from the capital city's bustle.
