Cimarron Hills
With low density house situated in and around the course, the fairways of the "Signature" Jack Nicklaus-designed layout at Cimarron Hills Golf & Country Club are set around the south fork of the San Gabriel River.
The following edited extract is taken from Daniel Wexler’s The American Private Golf Club Guide:
“Located in pleasantly rolling country 25 miles north of Austin, Cimarron Hills is a lower-key Nicklaus design that blends nicely into its landscape – at least until the finishers, where the introduction of man-made water hazards apparently proved irresistible.
The layout circumnavigates the property (the 9th green does not return) and gets rolling quickly with the 438-yard 2nd (which skirts the creek-like San Gabriel River) and the 245-yard 3rd, whose narrow green partially angles behind a tree.
The 406-yard 8th features a quasi-split fairway, while the 440-yard 10th and the attractive 168-yard 12th also incorporate the river. The closers ultimately are strong holes dominated by the aforementioned artificial hazards, the exception being the more natural 16th.”
