Leander continues to lean into what makes this community so special: accessible outdoor recreation, thoughtful growth, and spaces designed for everyone. The latest addition? A brand-new, beginner-friendly disc golf course is planned for Devine Lake Park.
A Smart Move for a Growing Community
On March 19, the City of Leander approved an updated agreement with the Hill Country Hyzers Disc Golf Club, a local nonprofit that has already played a key role in shaping the city’s disc golf scene. If you’ve spent time at Benbrook Ranch Park, you’ve likely seen their impact firsthand.
That existing course has been a favorite for years, but with the upcoming North Brushy Creek Interceptor project (a major infrastructure improvement focused on water and wastewater systems), parts of Benbrook Ranch Park will be temporarily disrupted.
Rather than hitting pause on a beloved activity, the city is doing something better: expanding it.
Why Devine Lake Park?
Devine Lake Park has quietly become one of Leander’s most versatile outdoor destinations, offering trails, water access, open space, and a peaceful setting just minutes from the heart of town. Adding a disc golf course here is a natural fit.
But what’s especially exciting is the intentional design of this course.
This won’t be just another course. It’s being planned as a beginner-friendly, family-accessible experience.
That means:
- Easier layouts for new players
- A welcoming environment for kids and families
- A low-pressure way to try something new outdoors
In a fast-growing city, these kinds of thoughtful additions matter. They create entry points, not just for activities, but for community.
More Than a Temporary Solution
While the new course will help fill the gap during construction at Benbrook Ranch Park, it’s not just a short-term fix.
According to city documents, the Devine Lake Park course is expected to become a permanent secondary course within Leander’s park system.
That’s a big deal.
It means more options for residents, less crowding at existing parks, and a stronger parks network overall…something we know continues to drive both quality of life and long-term home value here in Leander.
A Community Partnership in Action
The estimated cost of the project is around $20,000, with the Hill Country Hyzers expressing interest in helping share costs alongside the city. While final numbers haven’t been confirmed yet, this kind of public-private collaboration is exactly what helps projects like this move forward efficiently—and with community input.
It’s also a great reminder of how much local organizations contribute to the lifestyle we all enjoy here.
What This Means for Leander Residents
At its core, this isn’t just about disc golf.
It’s about:
- Creating more ways to enjoy the outdoors
- Supporting active, healthy lifestyles
- Giving families accessible, low-cost activities close to home
- Continuing to invest in the parks and amenities that make Leander stand out
And if you’re thinking about buying or selling in Leander, these are exactly the kinds of community enhancements that matter. Buyers aren’t just looking for homes. They’re looking for a lifestyle. And Leander continues to deliver.
