Woodcreek, Texas.
A community built
around the fairway.
Tree-lined streets, a semi-private golf course, and a quiet rhythm of life just minutes from the Wimberley Square. Woodcreek is one of the most popular residential communities in the Hill Country.
What is Woodcreek,
and what makes it
special?
Woodcreek is a master-planned residential community on the Hays County side of Wimberley, established in the early 1970s and continuing to grow with newer sections like Wimberley Ridge. It is named for its abundant trees and park-like setting — live oaks, cedars, and native landscaping line nearly every street. The centerpiece of the neighborhood is the Quicksand at Woodcreek Golf Club, an 18-hole semi-private course that has been part of the community since 1972.
With a mix of older ranch-style homes from the 1980s and newer traditional construction, Woodcreek offers options across price ranges. Homeownership rates are high at around 82 percent, and the neighborhood attracts a blend of families, retirees, and second-home buyers who want to be close to Wimberley's downtown without being in the middle of tourist traffic.
I have helped dozens of buyers find homes in Woodcreek over the years, and the most common reason people choose it is the combination of location, amenities, and community feel. You get the convenience of a maintained HOA community with the character of the Hill Country all around you. — Steve Giannone, Realtor · 40+ years in Central Texas real estate

"Woodcreek is one of the most accessible entry points into the Wimberley market. You get HOA-maintained streets, a golf course, and a strong sense of community for a fraction of what you might pay for a comparable home inside Austin. Over the years I have seen Woodcreek hold its value well — and newer sections like Wimberley Ridge continue to attract buyers who want a turnkey home in a great location."
What is life like in
Woodcreek, and how close is
the river?
Life in Woodcreek is quiet, neighborly, and centered around the outdoors. Mornings might start with a walk through the tree-lined streets or a round of golf at Quicksand. Afternoons are perfect for heading to the Blanco River — just 5 minutes away — for swimming, kayaking, or floating. The Wimberley Square is equally close, with its coffee shops, restaurants, galleries, and the beloved Wimberley Market Days held monthly from April through November.
One of the things that makes Woodcreek special is the balance. You get the peace and predictability of a planned community — maintained common areas, HOA oversight, consistent property values — without feeling disconnected from the Hill Country character that draws people to Wimberley in the first place. The Blanco River, Cypress Creek, Blue Hole, and Jacob's Well are all within a 10-minute drive.
Woodcreek also sits right on the edge of the Hays County and Blanco County line, which means residents have access to both county tax structures and school systems. Most of Woodcreek is in Hays County, served by Wimberley ISD, making it especially appealing for families with school-aged children. See our relocation guide for details on schools, taxes, and commutes.
Food & fun nearby: The Wimberley Square is just five minutes away, and it is packed with local flavor.
