Onion Creek Club is one of the most historic clubs in the Central Texas area, established in 1974 by Austin native Jimmie Connolly and legendary golfer Jimmy Demaret. Demaret, the first three-time winner of the Masters, is quoted as saying, “Nature put it here, all I did was manicure it.” In the mid-90’s, Austin native and two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw and world famous architect Bill Coore designed an additional nine to complete the twenty seven hole layout as we know it today. Known as the “Birthplace of the Senior Tour,” the first Legends of Golf event was held at Onion Creek Club in 1979. Onion Creek Club also hosted three LPGA Tour Events in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Today, Onion Creek is a host site for the Texas high school state championships and a qualifying site for the men’s U.S. Open.
