The present Davenport Ranch site is west of central Austin on the south bank of the Colorado River (Lake Austin), just southeast of the Pennybacker Bridge. Following a renovation in 2015, it has hosted the WGC Match Play championship since 2016.
The previous location was in east Austin and is now the public Riverside Golf Course (30.238°N 97.705°W), adjacent to the Riverside campus of Austin Community College. Expansion of the college altered several holes, but the majority of the course is intact. At this location, Austin Country Club spawned major champions Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite, coached by teaching professional Harvey Penick.[3]
Prior to 1950, the club was at 41st Street (30.299°N 97.724°W), northeast of the University of Texas campus. The nine-hole Hancock municipal course remains, but the other holes were developed into a shopping center.[3]
