Austin Country Club was founded November 14, 1899 by Lewis Hancock, a man of more than ordinary vision. In those days country clubs and golf were practically unknown and we believe it correct to state that the Austin Golf Club (later to be renamed the Austin Country Club) was the first of its kind organized in Texas. Austin Country Club's Vision is to continue to be one of the premier traditional, family-oriented private country clubs in Texas and throughout the South. Austin Country Club's Mission is to provide a tradition rich, outstanding private country club known for the quality of its membership and for service that exceeds expectations.
