Hancock
No. 1
The Oldest First Tee in Texas
Par 4, 324 yards. The hardest opening hole in Austin muni golf. A tight fairway, a creek, and the accumulated pressure of a hundred years of shanked first swings.
Par 4 324 yds
Lions
No. 6

The signature hole at the most historic muni in Austin. Where Ben Crenshaw learned the game and where your draw goes to die.

Morris Williams
No. 7

Blind tee
Roy Kizer
No. 15
Scenic Par 3, Tricky Green
Looks simple from the tee box. Plays tricky once you see the pin position. The kind of hole that rewards club selection over ego.
Par 3
