This 9-hole, 112-acre course features a natural water hazard, Walnut Creek, and was designed by PGA Tour Design Services. The course is also home to The First Tee of Greater Austin. Also here are a three-hole short course, a practice range, and putting and chipping greens.

The course was named after the late and legendary Harvey Penick (1905-1995), the long-time teacher and head professional at the Austin Country Club, University of Texas golf coach, and author (with Bud Shrake) of the best-selling sports book, Little Red Book.
