Our Story

The Legacy of Onion Creek Country Club

Founded by three-time Masters Champion Jimmy Demaret, Onion Creek Club holds a place in golf history that few clubs can claim: the birthplace of what would become the Champions Tour, where legends like Arnold Palmer and Ben Crenshaw once played long after their prime years, chasing one more great round together. Crenshaw himself would later design Onion Creek's second nine, adding his own mark to a course already steeped in tradition. That legacy of excellence continues today, as Onion Creek Club has evolved into a premier private club with championship golf, racquet sports, aquatics, elevated dining, and a vibrant community, all supported by exceptional Hill Country hospitality.

A Legacy Rooted in Texas Tradition

Over the decades, five Green Jackets have passed through with ties to Onion Creek's heritage, and that history lives on in the memorabilia, photos, and stories that fill our clubhouse today. But Onion Creek has never just been about the past; it's a club that has grown alongside South Austin itself, welcoming new generations of families while holding onto the old-timey charm that makes it feel like nowhere else. Today, Onion Creek stands as Austin's most historic private club: a place where 27 holes of championship golf meet a genuine, close-knit community, and where new members become part of a story that's still being written.
