Ranch at Deer Creek (also known as Deer Creek Ranch) is a master-planned community nestled in the western hills of Cedar Park, a thriving exurb 30 minutes northwest of downtown Austin and less than 15 minutes east of Lake Travis.
Development of Deer Creek Ranch began in 2001, with the neighborhood completing build-out in 2011. Distinguished by tasteful interior appointments, many of the homes here feature open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, open gourmet-style kitchens with granite countertops and owner’s suite bathrooms complete with garden tubs and separate showers. Ranging from affordable 1,700-square-foot floor plans to luxury homes with more than 3,000 square feet, there are a variety of real estate listings for sale from which to choose.

A popular location for families, students in Deer Creek Ranch attend the well-respected Leander Independent School District Schools: Deer Creek Elementary, Cedar Park Middle School and Cedar Park High School. Deer Creek Elementary received the coveted “Exemplary” ranking by the Texas Education Agency, while the middle and high schools are currently ranked as “Recognized.”
Tucked inside this quaint Cedar Park neighborhood is the Deer Creek Amenities Center, a sprawling, Spanish brick-style recreational hub where residents of all ages can work out, swim, shoot hoops or play in a fully shaded playscape.
“We pay attention to our community’s needs,” says Sarah Greer, who works the front desk of the Deer Creek Amenities Center. For the past couple of years, she’s helped residents find time for fun in spite of their busy schedules. “That way we’re ready to meet their expectations whenever they call on us.”
In addition to the community’s own recreational amenities, Deer Creek Ranch is located just over a mile from Elizabeth M. Milburn Community Park. Offering all sorts of facilities for a fun and relaxing outing, the 35-acre park features a one-mile walking/running trail, sand volleyball courts, a basketball court, tennis courts, washer pits, restrooms, soccer fields, open fields, baseball backstops, a community garden, a recreational BMX track, a swimming pool with lanes and a water slide, and a rock climbing wall. The City of Cedar Park also hosts a movies night in the park during the summer, as well as Fourth of July fireworks.
A Championship Golf Course Designed by Fred Couples
The pinnacle of Deer Creek Ranch’s amenities is the Twin Creeks Country Club. Serving as the neighborhood’s western border, this premier club offers residents the opportunity to take part in recreational sports and socialize in the privacy of their own community, as well as the chance to play golf on one of the Austin area’s finest courses whenever they desire.
Designed by Masters champion Fred Couples, this 7,033 yard, par 72 private championship golf course sprawls across 195 acres of bracing Texas Hill Country. Described as having been “carved out of nature,” the scenic course follows the two namesake rock-lined creeks throughout, featuring elevations, sunken limestone arroyos and native trees, as well as water crossings and hazards to present a breathtaking natural setting for the perfectly engaging game.
The fully stocked state-of-the-art pro shop offers the latest fashions and sports gear to members, while three on-site golf pros offer clinics and private lessons for all skill levels.
In addition, the country club sports two hard surface tennis courts that are open for casual matches, as well as clinics and private lessons with semi-pro instructors.
Overlooking the country club golf course is a multi-acre aquatic facility. With one Junior Olympic and one zero-depth-entry resort-style pool, as well as interactive fountains and a giant water slide, members of Twin Creeks Country Club essentially have their very own private water park.
“You don’t need to be obsessed with golf in order to appreciate this place,” says Blake Taylor, a 24-year-old caddy who’s seen some of the best golfers in modern history tee off on the Twin Creeks Golf Course. “Just knowing you have this beautiful place in your backyard brings you a sense of pride.”
A Neighborhood Designed for Success
Deer Creek Ranch was designed with the locals’ active lifestyles in mind. It comes as no surprise that in addition to its convenient access to downtown Austin, the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Lake Travis, neighborhood residents enjoy abundant shopping and restaurants, a safe environment for children, critically acclaimed schools and a renowned private golf course.
“Kids get bigger, new families move in, parents receive promotions — this place is all about growth and improvement,” says Sarah Greer. “Our facilities and services are growing and improving right alongside the members of the community.”
