Lakecliff Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located west of Austin near Lake Travis and the Pedernales River, LakeCiff Country Club features an 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. The course opened in 2003 and is located near another Palmer-designed club, Lakeside at Barton Creek. LakeCliff winds up and down rocky Hill Country terrain and plays over 6,700 yards from the championship tees. One of the most notable aspects of the course is that it is features bent grass greens, a rarity in the Hill Country.

One of the BEST tracks in central Texas!
Living in the Austin area for 11 years I had yet to venture out to Lake Cliff CC. Being semi private might have kept me from having the opportunity to play this wonderful course. After finally recovering from my 3rd back surgery this was quite the treat!
My wife joined me as a non golfer, they did not charge me for her to ride. Arriving 40 whole minutes (not my norm) my tee time was at 3:20 (twilight) but the gentleman in the pro shop welcomed me to tee off whenever I was ready! Very welcoming, beautiful layout, and BENT GRASS GREENS!!
Wonderful & serene experience!!
Great experience
Wonderful experience for my dad, my son and myself. It was my son's first round of golf and he loved it. My dad is from out of town and loved the course and said we will definitely be back. I thought the course was challenging but a lot of fun and a great time. Wonderful conditions and very friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Great Course Overall-Superb Greens
First time playing the course and it was a great overall experience. Fairways and Tee Boxes could use some TLC but the greens were the best I've played in Texas so far. I'll definitely be back

Be Careful booking this course on golf now
Booked with golfnow and showed up I had made a reservation a week in advance for myself and 3 customers of mine. When we showed up 8:50 in the morning the tee time was non existent as there was a member’s tournament that I can only assume had been scheduled for a month at least. The course telling me I should have gotten an email about the cancellation because they did. I received nothing in my email about the reservation not being fulfilled. The course looked great. But you want to double confirm with the course that golfnow actually has a tee time for you.
We're so sorry to hear that happened, Jonathan! We encourage you to contact GolfNow Golfer Support to address this and receive any necessary refund.

Great Shape, great Sunday.
First time I’ve played here and loved it. Greens were in great shape and fast. Not highly trafficked today at twilight. I’m a high handicap golfer so low to mid handicapper might see this different but I loved the day.

Thank you for visiting us at Lakecliff Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Nice layout, but lousy condition. Fairway. Bunkers not maintained. Green traps were somewhat maintained. -not great but ok. Greens were bumpy. We were expecting much better for the money. At $120 this is Extremely overpriced.
Hi pmoran1000! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Not good
This course was disappointing for the money. Not enough grass on the fairways and greens had spots with no grass. Hard to chip because no grass around the greens in places.
Hi RickGentry. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Lakecliff Country Club. We hope to see you again in the future.
Great Greens
The course is in great shape, with the greens qualifying as excellent.
markakeene, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Lakecliff Country Club.
great track!
Great layout and fun course, especially when the wind is up 20mph. My complaint isn't with the course but with the jerks who are either too stupid or too lazy, etc to fix their ball marks. The greens are a true gift to us in central texas but leave it to the general public to not fix their pitch marks. They are ruining the bentgrass greens and will ultimately cause Lakecliff to put in lame bermuda. PLEASE FIX YOUR BALL MARKS.
Hi u000006098733. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. And we absolutely agree about the duty of a golfer to fix their ball marks! We look forward to having you back at Lakecliff Country Club!
Fun Layout
A very nice Palmer design. The bent greens are fantastic.

Pure!
Have played most courses in and around Austin but this was our first time out at Lakecliff. Great facilities and staff. Bentgrass greens were so pure and super soft (granted it rained the night before). There were some bunkers that needed some serious work but other than that course was excellent! Will definitely be back
Thank you for your review, Erik4637188. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lakecliff Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great course, worth the drive
The course is in great shape right now. The bent grass greens are excellent, definitely among the best in Central Texas. Fairly forgiving layout with several great risk/reward par 5's and a couple of short par 4's. Nestled in the hill country with a few holes with views out over Lake Travis. Probably will get more play now that ACC did not continue their lease agreement, which is good news for public golfers. If you see a hot deal for this course jump on it, you won't regret it! Give yourself enough time to get out there so you aren't rushed to start.
