Posted by Brian Talley on February 23rd, 2017

Golf enthusiasts looking for luxury homes for sale near Westlake Hills and Bee Cave can rest assured they will find ample golf courses. While there is a plethora of country clubs and private golf courses surrounding Westlake Hills and Bee Cave, there also are a good number of public courses. An advantage to playing a public course is that anyone may reserve tee times, while country clubs and private golf clubs require membership or for players to be guests of members.

Falconhead Golf Club is a highly rated public course located just west of central Bee Cave, and because of its close proximity, an ideal home course for residents of Bee Cave and Westlake Hills. The course was designed as a PGA Tour Signature Course by PGA Tour architects Chris Gray and Ron Garl and opened in 2003. The club offers state of the art amenities, including a driving range, as well as membership packages that afford members preferred and discounted tee times. The 7,181 yard par 72 plays through scenic Hill Country terrain, with many elevated tee boxes offering panoramic views, and has a rating of 75. With well-maintained fairways and greens, as well as its challenging play, this is one of the highest rated public courses in Texas.

Just a stone's throw from the shores of the Colorado River near Westlake Hills, the Lions Municipal Golf Course has been open to the public since 1934 as part of Austin Parks and Recreation and has since been added to the National Register of Historic Places in Austin, Texas for desegregation efforts in the 1950’s. Relatively short at 6,001 yards, this par 71 challenges golfers with narrow fairways and a few memorable signature holes. While the amenities are fair, this course holds a lot of history, is well-maintained, offers economical rounds of golf, and is well-loved by locals.
