The University of Texas Golf Club was a vision that became a reality when some of today's most influential University supporters set out on a mission to build a permanent home for UT Golf Teams. After 18 months of development and hard work, the University of Texas Golf Club opened in 2003. The University of Texas Golf Club's course is a 7,154, par 71 championship-caliber golf course created by Bechtol Russell Golf Design. Built in the Texas Hill Country, the course overlooks Lake Austin and borders a natural wildlife preserve, offering challenging shots and views that rival the best in Austin.
