Hancock Golf Course
Just one of several great and reasonably priced golf opportunities offered by the city of Austin, Hancock Golf Course will not disappoint!
Lewis Hancock Jr. one time mayor of Austin founded this course in 1899. This makes Hancock Golf Course one of the oldest courses in the state. Now a 9 hole course, this was originally the home of the Austin Country Club, with 18 holes and sand greens.
You’ll find this course located in the beautiful Waller Creek area of Austin, with hills and small well kept greens.
Harvey Penick, golf coach at the University of Texas from 1931 to 1963, began his professional career as a caddy at the Austin Country Club. Penick had an illustrious career, coaching the longhorns to 21 Championships in 33 years.
“We played this course over spring break with our two boys, and we really enjoyed this course. The greens all looked great, and grass was in great shape. Yes, there were some area’s that were rough where the new construction has been done, but over all, course was in great shap. The best part about playing here was the $9/person greens fee’s. Where else can you play 9 holes for $9 a head, no where. Have I played nicer courses, heck ya, but not for $9 a head.” source
