About Spanish Oaks
Spanish Oaks is a private, 24-hour guard-gated Hill Country golf community in the City of Bee Cave, Travis County, about 17 miles west of downtown Austin along State Highway 71. The community spans roughly 1,200 acres on the western edge of the Austin metro, and entry is controlled at two staffed gatehouses operating around the clock. Spanish Oaks is anchored by the private Spanish Oaks Golf Club, an 18-hole course designed by Bobby Weed that opened in October 2001. Golf Digest named the club's course Best New Private Course in America after opening, and Golfweek has ranked it among the top courses in Texas.
The community's site plan reflects a land-restoration program that ran alongside course construction, including reclamation of native Hill Country grasses and removal of cedar overgrowth. Homes inside Spanish Oaks typically sit on larger lots than surrounding Bee Cave subdivisions, with architecture ranging from Pacific Coast and Mediterranean influences to Hill Country styles, and homes generally ranging from approximately 2,500 to more than 10,000 square feet. The community had more than 350 completed residences as of 2026.
Spanish Oaks is governed by a mandatory HOA and sits within the Lake Travis Independent School District (LTISD). LTISD enrolled 10,771 students across 11 campuses in 2026 (7 elementary, 3 middle, 1 high), and homes in Spanish Oaks feed into Lake Pointe Elementary, Bee Cave Middle School, and Lake Travis High School.
