Graceful stands of historic, century-old oak trees shade the rolling foothills surrounding the Twin Creeks Country Club, home to the superb 18-hole private course that bears Masters Champion Fred Couples' illustrious signature. Massive oaks help to convey the Twin Creeks Club's abiding atmosphere of solid southern tradition, and extend a leafy canopy welcoming its members and their guests. Nestled among a pair of rambling creeks and set in a 760-acre sanctuary of verdant hills and canyons, Twin Creeks offers its members a peaceful retreat a mere 20 minutes from the energy and excitement of Austin, one of Texas' perhaps even the country's most dynamic cities. Twin Creeks Country Club is the distinctive setting for the first Austin-area signature golf course designed by Fred Couples. Opened in November 2003, the course is distinguished by its lush natural contours and ultimate playability. The renowned course designer Lee Schmidt, who assisted in its development, claims, "Playing Twin Creeks is what it would feel like if you just happened upon a course carved out of nature."
