Flintrock Falls Real Estate: Enjoy the Luxury of Two Jack Nicklaus Championship Golf Courses
On a bright summer morning, the air is cool, and it’s still beautiful weather for an early round of golf. Whether gazing from the shade of majestic oaks or from the first tee over the neatly manicured green fairways, the Jack Nicklaus championship courses in Flintrock Falls showcase the natural beauty of the Hill Country.
And when 18 holes are just not enough, golfers have the option of doubling their fun by playing the adjacent course, also designed by Jack Nicklaus. Membership in The Hills Country Club has distinct privileges, and is one of the many benefits of living in Flintrock Falls.
“I am a pretty serious golfer, and to have 36 Jack Nicklaus signature holes on two different courses, both demanding and in great shape — there’s no better deal in town,” says Tim Deck, a resident who moved to Flintrock Falls from Chicago a few years ago with his wife, Liz, and their family.
On a typical summer day, Tim gets up early and rides his golf cart over the meandering path from his home to the Flintrock Falls clubhouse, while Liz drops their son at a World of Tennis summer sports camp. Off to an adventure of her own, Liz enjoys a workout and the amenities at the full-service fitness center. “We all like to do different things and living here allows us to do that,” says Liz. “We chose Flintrock Falls because it makes us feel like we’re living life on vacation.”

Flintrock Falls’ tennis players, including Liz, play at World of Tennis just up the street, another perk of The Hills Country Club membership. The World of Tennis facility features 16 outdoor courts (12 of them illuminated), two climate-controlled indoor courts, and a stadium court that has hosted tennis luminaries such as Andre Agassi, Billie Jean King, and Chris Everett. The facility is staffed by USPTA-certified staff who offer training programs and lessons for all ages and skill levels.
The center also includes a pool, a broad variety of fitness classes and equipment, a spa and snack bar. The World of Tennis has athletic programs to suit nearly every demographic. From yoga to Pilates to the most aggressive boot camp you can endure, it is all offered at the club. The workout facility at The Hills’ World of Tennis provides circuit training, indoor cycling and multiple fitness classes in separate studios, as well as swimming.
“One of the huge benefits of our community is the social opportunity available through the club,” says Dennis McWilliams, director of The Hills’ World of Tennis. McWilliams has been with the nationally renowned tennis facility for over 19 years. “There are a large number of players who are able to connect with each other, so many people at so many levels, socially and competitively.”

Located behind an impressive gated entry in northwest Austin near Lakeway, and nestled among several upscale Lake Travis neighborhoods, a tour through this private gated golfing community features non-stop views and distinctive architectural charm. The custom built luxury homes display a diversity of building materials and styles that blend naturally with the Hill Country surroundings, combining Texas limestone with deep red and brown accent stone and warm-toned variations of smooth or textured stucco exteriors.
One of the most popular architectural accents in this community are the towering rooftop cupolas which feature panoramic windows designed as cozy rooms that take advantage of the premium countryside and golf course views.
Flintrock Falls homeowners enjoy a dynamic combination of luxury and convenience.
