Austin Country Club is a private golf club in the southern United States, located in Austin, Texas. Established 125 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 has hosted the WGC Match Play championship since 2016.
The previous location was in east Austin and is now the public Riverside Golf Course (30°14′17″N 97°42′18″W / 30.238°N 97.705°W), adjacent to the Riverside campus of
Prior to 1950, the club was at 41st Street (30°17′56″N 97°43′26″W / 30.299°N 97.724°W), 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]
