The course offers guests the option of playing either 9 or 19 holes and is ADA-compliant throughout Seating is located across the course to provide regular rest and waiting areas and drinks tables at the beginning and end of each hole hold players’ bags and bottles shade sails provide cooler intervals in the heat of the day and gentle ambient and task lighting creates an inviting A spokesperson from Greenspan Projects says: “We are really pleased to be working with Matt Greer and the team at Gem Lake Hills who have bought into the concept of adding a miniature golf concept to their golf club We’ve worked with several clubs outside of the USA who have successfully done this so it’s great to see the trend pick up over here now too “With thousands of rounds being played at Golf Clubs every year miniature golf is a no-brainer if you’re looking for another revenue stream at your club or something to attract a wider demographic Existing customers will bring family and friends along with them “The course at Gem Lake is going to be fun for all 18 holes of real golf style challenge and playability with a 19th almost impossible hole-in-1 opportunity The benches and shade structures throughout are a nice touch when the summer sunshine hits!” Earlier this month, Greenspan Projects Ltd. shared details of two innovative indoor golf courses that is has developed for Drive Shack’s Puttery in New York Get the latest attractions industry

Topography offers some explanation for the jagged outline—Austin is a land of rivers, flatlands and hills— but understanding the “omitted patches” requires a knowledge of the Texas capital’s small collection of interior suburbs. Like Beverly Hills in Los Angeles or Forest Hills in Nashville, Tennessee, these independent enclaves are contained within the city, resulting in a suburban feel with metropolitan amenities. As such, the interior suburbs encompass some of Austin's most desirable real estate. Nowhere more so than in the town of West Lake Hills. Set six miles from Downtown Austin, West Lake Hills is properly named—the roughly 3.5-square-mile town is perched in the western hills above Lake Austin. Hillside homes with views of the city are a staple of the West Lake Hills real estate market “The town has kept up with Austin’s growth. Everything has been gradually redeveloped over time and as a result, West Lake Hills is where wealthy buyers can find newer, singular properties.” A rendering of an ultra-luxe estate in the upcoming Wildcat Club “West Lake Hills’ building codes are designed to preserve the natural habitat and aesthetics of the community. Building heights are limited to 30 feet from grade and that code has driven modern construction with flat roofs.” The area is also known for its gated communities and high-end amenities, including expansive swimming pools, guest houses and outdoor living areas. Despite covering a relatively small portion of the city, the topography of West Lake Hills varies greatly, and the housing market reflects said variation, added Walker. “Buyers have a diversity of settings to choose from. There are Lake Austin waterfront estates, hilltop homes with downtown views of the city skyline and more traditional neighborhoods that sit in flatter, low-lying areas.” New construction homes encompass some of the most expensive listings in town “The tip-top of the market is waterfront estates which can trade for the $40 million to $50 million range.” Limited commercial development gives the town a secluded Residences make up the vast majority of development in the area with commercial activity occupying a small southern section of town “West Lake Hills feels a bit more rural,” says Walker “There are large natural habitats and wildlife sanctuaries around and within the community it has a noticeably different feel from Austin.” Outdoor recreation is abundant in the area including in nearby Barton Creek Greenbelt the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve borders the north end of town the 227-acre park is a habitat for the endangered black-capped vireo and golden-cheeked warbler can be found at nearby Barton Creek Greenbelt West Lake Hills still offers a handful of restaurants neighborhood eateries and shops are modest a purposeful choice perhaps by locals who strive to maintain West Lake Hill’s small-town charm dining and nightlife of Downtown Austin is a quick drive away 15 minutes further east is the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Many of the region’s renowned natural swimming holes are close by LAKEHILLS Texas – There’s a Cajun festival taking place in the Texas Hill Country this weekend The Medina Lake Cajun Festival will roll out the good times on Saturday at Lakehills Community Center from 11 a.m Admission for the festival is $15 and children ages 10 and younger are free Parking will also be free and shuttle services will be provided Guests can listen and dance to Cajun and Zydeco music on two stages with bands from the heart of Louisiana while enjoying homemade Cajun food This is the 40th annual Medina Lake Cajun Festival which started in 1981 as a way to help the Lakehills Civic Center pay its mortgage without going into foreclosure a Louisiana transplant who was on the Board of Directors for the civic center suggested a gumbo cookoff as a fundraiser and thus Caswell passed away in 2019 and the festival is dedicated to his memory All proceeds from the festival benefit the Lakehills Community Center Copyright 2021 by KSAT - All rights reserved Show Breaking News BarCloseLocal NewsGarrett Brnger Ken Huizar Texas – Delivering water isn’t David Cahill’s main job Cahill says that as water levels fall at Medina Lake he’s delivering 1,000 gallons of water at a time “It hurt to hire somebody to bring me water,” said Cahill whose wells at his three properties started drying up this spring “So I decided to just try and help the people in our community.” said he charges about $125 to $150 per trip for people in the lake area The “slim profit” he makes goes toward paying off the new deeper well he had to have dug for more than $28,000 If I didn’t have -- if I had all the money I needed I’d be delivering water to people for free,” he said As of Tuesday, Medina Lake, a reservoir created for irrigation purposes, was just 6.3 percent full Waterfront homes towered over the receding water line and the dried lake bed stretching out behind Cahill’s home appeared more akin to a sandbox Cahill can’t say if the level of the reservoir is causing lower groundwater levels “but I can definitely say when the lake goes down Geological Survey’s Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center told KSAT that they don’t have data to show a direct cause-and-effect at this point “You know I’m sympathetic to the problem there but it may be from other reasons than the lake level dropping while also adding that the possibility couldn’t be ruled out either could include the complexity of the geology in the area there are still plenty of people depending on Cahill for their water delivery But there are only so many hours in a day to make them “We can only deliver 4 to 5 loads each day depending on the route,” Cahill said Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved Before that he was a news photographer at KVDA TV in San Antonio Ken graduated from San Antonio College with an associate's degree in Radio Ken has won a Sun Coast Emmy and four Lone Star Emmys Ken has been in the TV industry since 1994 Get the best experience and stay connected to your community with our Spectrum News app. Learn More Get hyperlocal forecasts, radar and weather alerts. SAN ANTONIO -- It’s hard enough to find certain supplies right now even if you can afford them and live near major grocery stores, but for people in rural areas it can become a dire situation if they don’t have the money or transportation. A new cafe in the unincorporated community Lakehills is willing to help with the problem, even though it could cost one of the owners her life. Molly McKinney’s doctors, friends and family are all insisting she stay in quarantine, but the three-time cancer survivor with an autoimmune disorder insists on doing what she can, while she can. “Everyone in my friends and family is like ‘you should not be having contact with the general public,’ but I just can’t watch these people suffer when there’s something I can do about it, however small," McKinney said. Last week, McKinney and her wife used their life savings to open Local's Cafe, a pay-what-you-can restaurant near Medina Lake. But the couple quickly realized that the unincorporated community in Bandera County needed was not a cafe, but a grocery store. "It came like a penultimate moment, where it was turn back altogether and don’t open anything, which we could’ve done," McKinney. "Or, find a way to serve our community in the midst of a crisis." The couple decided to turn the dining room into a makeshift store. “People were coming to us literally crying, saying ‘could I just get a ziplock bag of beans? Could I just get, you know, a cup of flour?’” McKinney said. So Local's Cafe began taking orders online for groceries and hard-to-find necessities such as toilet paper and hand sanitizer. “So there are people out here who are not only homebound, but don’t have the money for food and can’t get to a grocery store and we’re in the middle of nowhere," McKinney said. "So we decided to begin accepting grocery orders and allowing people to pay what they can.” The couple also decided to move the kitchen to a new food truck, where they will continue to provide meals. “Until the crisis is over, to us, it felt like abandoning a very vulnerable community population in almost a wartime situation when we have access to these things," McKinney said. With COVID-19 continuing to spread, McKinney doesn't know what the long term will look like for her life or for her restaurant. She says she's come to terms with dying, but worries about her wife and 5-year-old son. “There’s no not getting this for me, if I’m gonna get it, and there’s no avoiding fatality for me if I’m gonna get it, so what I want to do with those last moments, if that’s what they are, is the most good that I can," McKinney said. The main threats are large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rains with an isolated tornado also possible.
