EXCLUSIVE: A Members-Only Indoor Golf Club Is Coming to Austin
Opening in late 2026, The Mackenzie Club is a 33,000-square-foot, private indoor golf and social club in West Lake Hills, designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture
For Austinite and entrepreneur Dave Rogenmoser, golf holds a special place in his heart. One of his most treasured memories is walking the Swilcan Bridge at St Andrews in Scotland with his dad.
“Standing there at the home of golf, it’s hard not to think about how we’re all just one link in a very long chain of golfers,” said Rogenmoser. “Golf connects you to something bigger than yourself.”
He now plans to bring that feeling to his hometown with the opening of The Mackenzie Club in late 2026.
The Mackenzie Club, a private indoor golf and social club, will operate as a members-only retreat for golfers drawn to both the game and the community it fosters. The 33,000-square-foot club will offer year-round golf using state-of-the-art technology, along with chef-driven dining, wellness amenities and dedicated executive offices. Designed as a second home for golf, the club brings together space to practice, recover, work and dine under one roof.
Building a golf community
“Golf gives you something most things don’t — a reason to put your phone down and actually be with people sharing an experience,” said Rogenmoser. “… Golf is the common thread, but community is the point.”
Designed to function beyond golf, the club is centered on community, with spaces for socializing, work and recovery.
“After a decade of building online startups, I wanted to create something you could experience and enjoy in person,” said Rogenmoser. “Rather than drive all over town for lunches, golf, sauna, work, seeing friends and working out, I thought: what if I could pull all of this together into one central, amazing location, filled with Austin’s most amazing people? So honestly, I’m building The Mackenzie Club for myself. But it turns out a lot of people want the same thing. So let’s build it together.”
Rogenmoser set out to create a place where the game, the setting and the people carry equal weight. The result is a warm, modern take on the traditional golf club, designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture. Outdoor spaces, including a patio with Hill Country views, lounge areas, fire pits, and putting and short-game greens, pay homage to the legendary courses designed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie, the club’s namesake.
A space to practice, play and connect
The three-story club will feature a state-of-the-art technology environment, including eight Trackman simulator suites, a dedicated PuttView putting lab, professional golf lessons and club fittings.
“Some members will come to grind on their game,” said Rogenmoser. “Some will host clients. Some will just show up to see who’s around and get some work done. I’ll be there on date night with my wife, Amanda. The common thread is that everyone loves golf and loves being together.”
While The Mackenzie Club will be a members-only facility, members can bring guests with them to enjoy the experience. Rogenmoser says the club is application-based and includes a vetting process because of the emphasis he’s putting on culture.
“We have a vetting process because culture matters more than anything we’re building, but we’re not exclusive for the sake of being exclusive,” said Rogenmoser. “We’re looking for people who genuinely love the game and are going to be great to be around. People who can add to our culture and enrich it with their gifts and talents.”
