The Hills Country Club
72 holes across four courses (Live Oak, Yaupon, Flintrock Falls, and the Signature Course -- all four now named) inside the gated Hills of Lakeway golf community on Lake Travis, about 25-30 minutes west of downtown Austin. A mandatory minimum Social Membership requirement for homeowners, in place for roughly four decades, is confirmed by a March 2026-dated real-estate source as STILL CURRENT, priced at $147/month -- the 2020 resident push to end the requirement did not succeed by that date.

What to Independently Verify
RESOLVED THIS PASS: the mandatory Social Membership requirement for Hills of Lakeway homeowners is confirmed CURRENT as of March 2026 (priced at $147/month) via The Keenan Group's real-estate guide, which explicitly dates its figures. This is a real-estate specialist source, not the POA's own current declaration text or a news follow-up to the 2020 Statesman article, so independent confirmation directly with the Hills of Lakeway Property Owners Association is still recommended, but it is the most current and specific source found this pass and it directly answers the open question: the 2020 resident push to remove the mandatory requirement had not succeeded as of March 2026. Separately, sourcing on which course is 'the original' is not fully consistent -- one source describes Live Oak (opened 1964) as the original course, while another describes the Signature Course as 'the original Jack Nicklaus design' -- this minor inconsistency was not resolved this pass and is flagged rather than silently picked. Golf membership itself remains a separate, non-mandatory purchase on top of the mandatory Social minimum.
