The Horseshoe Bay Resort in Llano County will soon begin construction on a $4.5 million racquet club set to open next year in the luxurious lakeside resort community near Austin and San Antonio, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The new racquet club will sit on 7,000 square feet, just a fraction of the expansive, 7,000-acre country club that sits on the Lyndon B. Johnson Lake.
Details are limited at this time, but construction will begin on May 1, 2026, according to the state filing — though all TDLR details are subject to change.
The resort currently offers a variety of pickleball and tennis facilities, but the new club will likely expand those amenities.
But Horseshoe Bay Resort is best known for its golf — it has three championship golf courses, and it was recently named one of the “Top 100 Golf Resorts in North America” by Golf Magazine in 2019. That was before it completed a major four-year, $100-million renovation project that added major upgrades to the “tropically adorned” facility in 2020, according to Sports Illustrated.
In August 2026, the resort will be part of the noteworthy return of a popular 2000’s-era reality TV show, designed to pluck amateur golfers from obscurity and give them a shot at the pros. NBC’s “Big Break” was filmed at the resort.
This past February, a Travel + Leisure article called the resort the “crown jewel” of the Hill Country town. The resort first opened in the 1970s.
According to World Population Review, only 5,684 residents live in Horsehoe Bay, making it one of the smallest towns in the Hill Country.
A resort representative told MySA that Horseshoe Bay is keeping details under wraps for now.
