There are several golf course communities throughout the Austin area. One of the oldest golf clubs is Onion Creek in South Austin. Created by Austin native Jimmie Connolly and Legendary Golfer Jimmy Demaret, the club opened in 1974 and is still a popular and esteemed club to this day. The community surrounding the club is just as highly regarded, with beautiful homes on large lots in a tree-filled community.

Onion Creek offers large, traditional-style homes at competitive prices. The exteriors often feature masonry and stonework. Inside, the homes are spacious and typically feature stylish updates.

The Golf Club

Onion Creek Club was designed with the natural landscape in mind. Demaret was highly applauded for his course and club, but gave credit to the local landscape by saying that  “Nature put it here, all I did was manicure it”. Demaret’s vision was to the landscape dictate the course layout. The result is a beautiful course that offers a challenge to seasoned golfers and recreation for beginners, too.
