AUSTIN, Texas (March 9, 2007) — The lack of rain in the Central Texas area has been brutal on the businesses that utilize the area's lakes and rivers for recreation, irrigation and — in essence — their very livelihood.
But the many days of sunshine and moderate (for Texas) summer temperatures last year were a boon to local upper-end public golf courses as players flocked to the links rather than to their boats, their jet skis and the local (dried-up) swimming holes.
It was a good summer of for us — without a doubt our best ever," said Lindsay Bowman, the general manager of the four-year-old Shadow Glen Golf Course in the northeast Austin suburb of Manor. "People in this area have a lot of choices for recreation and for great golf, and as long as we get the players out here, we know we can keep them coming back."
The Austin area is considered a haven for upper-middle class demographics and an educated populous, two target profiles for golf success. During the past 20 years, a bevy of golf courses have sprung up along with — and due to — the suburban sprawl that is created when people begin to look for affordable places to live within a reasonable commute to their workplaces in the city.
Real estate developers have learned that when they lay out residential subdivisions, they should include space for a golf course. The benefits to the community are plentiful, but to a developer, having a golf course in a residential area adds to its livability, increases property values and provides a means of which to dispose of the community's effluent wastewater.
It is a win-win situation for all involved — none more so than golfers since they are provided with additional and varied places to tee it up, often away from the maddening crowd but still relatively close to home.
With the area's demographics, its weather and its continuing residential boom, there are 24 public golf courses within a 20-minute drive of the state capitol building, which is located in the center of Austin. Of those 24, 13 can be considered upper-end courses and every one of those tracks are located in a residential subdivision.
