About
The original Austin Country Club, Hancock is named after famous Austinite Lewis Hancock, who organized the club in 1898 and brought the dream of one of Texas’ first country clubs to fruition.
This course is steeped in history, Harvey Penick began caddying here in 1913 on this 9-hole course that originally had sand greens. And since it’s short, you’ll want to walk, just as President Taft did when he played the course years ago.
The design features extremely small greens. Waller Creek comes into play on five holes, including the No. 1, which plays 152 yards over the hazard. Hole 9 is an interesting end to the round–a 264-yard par 4 with that isn’t really drive-able because of the creek fronting the green.
Other notes: Hancock is known as the oldest intact design in the state
Getting there : From I-35 take the Airport Road exit west and go south on the service road. When you get to 41st Street, turn right (west), then turn left when you see the course entrance.

Wonderful
I had a very wonderful experience. The coarse is in great condition and it was like I had it to myself, early tee time.
Neat little course in the heart of old town Austin
If you're looking to spend a nice, pleasant day on the golf course, this one is for you.
like an old friend
I have been playing this course since I was 8 years old. They have installed a new irrigation system and rearranged the course back to it's original configuration. course management has also improved. Even though it's the oldest course in the state, it plays wonderfully.
none
Course is in the best shape I have ever seen it. The new water system is working wonderful.
john and wendys afternoon at hancock
my wife and i played hancock on sunday afternoon , it was a lovely day but as we hadnt played there before we wernt sure what to expect ,the course was nice we enjoyed it very much , the fairways had a little green on them and the greens were very good, it was a bit slow but not to bad really , we will certainly play there again and would recommend it to others
Had a great time.
Although play was slow at times, it was a beautiful day and the course was in great condition we didn't mind waiting from hole to hole on the second none. Great and friendly staff and had a very enjoyable round.
Good 9 hole course.
Great value...good practice course. Can get crowded since it is very popular.
