Travis Club opens dramatic Beau Welling course in Texas Hill Country
Member play has officially begun on the new Beau Welling-designed course at Travis Club , the 1,500-acre private community along Lake Travis about 15 miles west of Austin. For Welling, who frequently collaborates with Tiger Woods on high-profile design and interactive projects, seeing golfers on the course marked the payoff to a project that presented an unusual combination from the start: a spectacular piece of property that was every bit as challenging as it was inspiring. “I’ve worked in the Hill Country before, and so the Hill Country is super awesome and exciting,” Welling said during a recent fireside chat. “There’s a terrain and the relief and the drama that you have.” There’s plenty of it at Travis Club. The course, which stretches more than 7,300 yards from the back tees, tumbles across a rugged piece of land about 15 miles west of Austin, with steep elevation changes, rocky outcroppings, ravines and holes that offer sweeping views of Lake Travis. It’s not exactly the kind of property most golfers picture when they think of Texas. Cloudy day, but this will eventually be the fifth hole at Travis Club, a new golf community to be shaped by @beauwelling near Austin, Texas.
