Loraloma Private Club and Estates, a luxury Hill Country community outside of Austin, Texas, has unveiled reservations for a limited collection of golf course homesites along its David McLay Kidd golf course – the acclaimed designer’s first in the Southern United States.
With sales led by Compass Development Marketing Group, this release features just 29 homesites strategically positioned along the 15th hole at the heart of Texas’ most amenity-rich master-planned community. As one of only eight holes offering golf-front properties, this selection of lots creates a rare opportunity to secure real estate directly on this links-style course, which is set to open for select play in May, with full play and accompanying amenities debuting later this year.
Future residents can choose among 10 turn-key floorplans ranging from three to five bedrooms and featuring curated in-home comforts, including seamless indoor-outdoor living, adaptive flex spaces, spacious entertainment areas and chef kitchens. Homes are crafted by Areté Collective in collaboration with its in-house design team, Denton House Design Studio.
The fairway-front sites are priced between $1.125 million and $1.825 million. Each lot reservation requires a $250,000 non-refundable deposit and provides access to limited-time incentives, including special pricing benefits, an included social membership valued at $25,000, reduced golf initiation dues, and club credits..
“With only a select number of homes available on our course, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure some of Loraloma’s sought-after lots, creating an unrivaled living experience,” said Joe Rentfro, managing director of Loraloma. “With front-door access to all things golf, the course-side homes are the pinnacle of luxury living with unparalleled connection to Loraloma’s bespoke amenities.”

Renowned for his award-winning designs at Bandon Dunes and the Castle Course at St. Andrews, McLay Kidd brings his signature approach to Loraloma, seamlessly integrating the course with the Hill Country’s natural terrain. The first par-5 on the back nine, Hole 15, features unobstructed vantage points overlooking the Hill Country and Balcones Escarpment and is the only fairway with a man-made lake.
“As the first of its kind in the region, we intentionally designed this course to offer a world-class and inspiring landscape for future residents, highlighting the natural beauty and diversity of the Hill Country,” said McLay Kidd. “The course is masterfully crafted to feel like a seamless extension of each golf-front home, providing a unique and personal connection to the greens that no other homesite can match.”
Locatted within the cliffside campus – one of three distinct clubhouse experiences available at Loraloma – golf-front homes have direct access to an all-encompassing retreat, complete with multiple pools, a spa, wellness and fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball courts, elevated dining, and a kid’s club. Nearby, homeowners will also find a pro shop, player’s lounge and a restaurant and bar for pre- or post-round enjoyment as a part of the golf house amenity area.
In addition, homeowners can find the riverfront amenities with floating docks, cabanas, and various water activities and the Limestone Gulch neighborhood, featuring swimming holes and fishing ponds, a communal farm, recreation fieldhouse, outdoor amphitheater, dance hall, and tap house.
