Spieth Lower 40
The Spieth Lower 40 is a six-hole par-3 course built on 4-1/2 acres between the members’ range and the first hole at the University of Texas Golf Club.
Jordan Spieth is a three-time majors champion who spent three semesters competing as a Longhorn. He was part of Texas’ 2012 NCAA Championship team. His design contributions to the project include everything from the placement of the green complexes to elevations and contours.
Holes range from 80-125 yards and greens range from 2,800 to 4,000 square feet. The course has four different types of grasses. The greens are challenging and reward a good shot.

12 Hole Par 3
Bechtol said he believes smaller courses like the 12-hole planned at Austin Beach Club is the wave of the future.
“Golf is a demanding game, to say the least. I think you’re seeing a move afoot with younger millennials to play in a way that takes less time and is more fun,” he said. “This just opens it up to so much more of the populace to fall in love with the game. It’s a much quicker way to spend the day.”
A 12-hole short course can be played in two hours, versus an average of four to six hours to play 18 holes.
“What we’re trying to create at the Austin Beach Club is to play real golf, get outdoors, get away from computers,” said Bechtol, who is collaborating with course designer Jim Fazio Jr. on the project. “It’s a way to get the whole family out in a fun environment.”
Steve Termeer, general manager at the UT Texas Golf Club, said courses like the one planned at Austin Beach Club are what many players are seeking.
