Austin Country Club is a private golf club in the southern United States, located in Austin, Texas. Established 127 years ago in 1899, the club moved to its third and present site in 1984, a challenging layout designed by noted course architect Pete Dye.[2][3]
The present Davenport Ranch site is west of central Austin on the south bank of the Colorado River (Lake Austin), just southeast of the Pennybacker Bridge. Following a renovation in 2015, it hosted the WGC Match Play championship from 2016 until the event's final edition in 2023.
The previous location is now the public Riverside Golf Course (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), adjacent to the Riverside campus of Austin Community College. Expansion of the college altered several holes, but the majority of the course is intact. At this location, Austin Country Club spawned major champions Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite, coached by teaching professional Harvey Penick.[3]
Prior to 1950, the club was at 41st Street (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.), northeast of the University of Texas campus. The nine-hole Hancock municipal course remains, but the other holes were developed into a shopping center.[3]
