Nestled in Texas Hill Country, Loraloma is a private sanctuary where natural beauty meets curated luxury. Our golf course, thoughtfully designed by David McLay-Kidd, winds through dramatic 100-foot ravines along the Pedernales River, offering a playing experience that’s as visually breathtaking as it is thoughtfully designed. The fairways and tees were sodded with Stadium zoysia, the roughs were sodded with Zeon zoysia, and the USGA greens were sprigged with Lazer zoysia. This presents a unique opportunity for a growing turfgrass manager to gain valuable experience maintaining the latest and greatest zoysia varieties, and a state-of-the-art TORO LYNX DRIVE 2-wire irrigation system with 2,250 infinity sprinkler heads.
