AUSTIN, Texas — Westlake Country Club is proud to announce the launch of the final and most ambitious phase of its extensive transformation: a renovation of its clubhouse.
Buoyed by a substantial financial investment and a bold vision, this project marks the beginning of a new era for Westlake Country Club, cementing its place as the premier family-focused country club in the heart of Austin.
Partnering with the acclaimed design and architecture firm Thiel & Team, the reimagined clubhouse will blend contemporary sophistication with the timeless charm of the Hill Country.
Infused with a collected Spanish Revival style, the design will incorporate high ceilings, natural textures, and open, light-filled spaces that celebrate the beauty and vibrant spirit of Austin.
“The Clubhouse Renovation is another giant step in the club’s journey to reach its final destination,” said Chip Gist, General Manager of Westlake. “The prime location in Austin, combined with the stunning natural beauty of the property, made it clear it was time to reposition the club.
“Invited has made the largest investment it has ever made in one club at one time. This club has been an important part of Austin’s community for the past 50 years, and I look forward to seeing Westlake Country Club realize its full potential.”
Some key enhancements at the new clubhouse include:
- Redesigned Interior Spaces: A completely transformed clubhouse will feature an elegant main dining outlet and an updated lobby area
- Outdoor Dining: A spacious and extended patio offering breathtaking views of the Hill Country, thoughtfully designed to be covered, cooled, and heated, creating a versatile indoor/outdoor space for year-round enjoyment
- Updated Locker Amenities: Designed to enhance space, comfort, and convenience
- Enhanced Accessibility: A new clubhouse elevator and additional accessibility features to ensure all Members feel welcome and comfortable
- The exquisite Dining Room will feature a centerpiece bar that anchors the room. The finest wines and spirits will compliment the sophisticated atmosphere
- Reimagined Lounge Area: A sophisticated retreat for work, leisure, and connection, offering signature beverage service, from artisanal coffee and premium teas to expertly crafted cocktails

The clubhouse dining areas will seamlessly merge style and functionality, creating an ideal setting for everything from casual meals to grand celebrations. Every element has been designed to elevate the Member experience and inspire unforgettable moments.
Renovations commenced in early January, and the unveiling of the new clubhouse is anticipated for November 2025. Completion of renovations will usher in an exciting chapter for Westlake Country Club.
