About Loraloma Golf Club

Loraloma Golf Club is an exclusive private golf club located in Spicewood, Texas, within the scenic Texas Hill Country west of Austin. The club features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by internationally renowned architect David McLay Kidd, known for his work at Bandon Dunes and St Andrews.

The course opened in 2025 as part of the luxury Loraloma private club and residential community. The layout stretches across rugged Hill Country terrain overlooking the Pedernales River, with dramatic cliffside fairways, sweeping canyon views, ravines exceeding 100 feet in depth, and natural limestone landscapes integrated directly into the golf experience.

Loraloma was intentionally designed with a low-impact, sustainability-focused philosophy that preserves the natural environment while creating a world-class golf destination. The course utilizes 100% Zoysia grass throughout the tees, fairways, roughs, and greens for firm and fast playing conditions uncommon in Texas golf.

Beyond golf, Loraloma offers luxury lifestyle amenities including riverfront recreation, wellness facilities, dining, hiking and biking trails, equestrian activities, and private Hill Country living surrounded by preserved natural landscapes.
