A high-end golf and social club from Jasper co-founder Dave Rogenmoser is quietly lining up a massive foothold in Westlake, with plans to bring a members-only playground of simulator bays, chef-driven dining, and wellness perks to a 33,000-square-foot space by 2026.

The Mackenzie Club is set to occupy a large footprint at 260 Addie Roy Road and is already showing up in public records and hiring materials. Early paperwork and recruiting suggest neighbors will see a steady stream of construction crews, designers, and future staff cycling through the site over the next couple of years as the project takes shape.

The buildout appears in the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project registry as “260 Addie Roy Building Improvements,” a 33,000-square-foot renovation with a December 2023 registration date and a listed completion date of November 1, 2025. The listing identifies the work as privately funded, with an estimated construction cost of $2.5 million, and names Levy Dykema Architects on the project, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

High-tech Golf, Dining And A Capped Membership

Pre-opening materials and an executive search listing sketch out an aggressively upscale indoor golf and social setup. Plans call for eight TrackMan simulator suites, a PuttView AR putting lab, a chef-driven restaurant and bar, a wellness suite featuring a sauna and cold plunge, and private member offices. Membership is slated to be capped at around 500 people, a number the club says is meant to keep things intimate rather than overcrowded.

The same hiring brief also identifies Michael Hsu Office of Architecture as the architect of record and Structure Tone Southwest as the general contractor. Those details appear in the club’s recruitment and design documents, which are outlined in an executive search posting from KK&W.

Timeline, Hiring And Price Points

The KK&W executive posting lays out a detailed ramp-up schedule. It calls for a general manager to start in spring 2026, followed by department heads coming on board in the summer, with an official grand opening circled for October 2026. Before the big reveal, the plan is to run staff training and soft openings in late summer and early fall.

On the money side, the same document lists initiation fees in the $10,000 to $15,000 range and projects roughly $10 million in first-year gross revenue, figures that guide both staffing levels and the overall marketing strategy, according to KK&W.

Brand, Backers And Filings

The Mackenzie Club is being developed by Rogenmoser, best known in Austin’s tech circles for co-founding Jasper, with investor Chris Hull listed as a co-backer. A trademark application for “THE MACKENZIE CLUB” filed by 1723 Ventures LLC landed on December 5, 2025, signaling that the team is moving to lock down the branding while they court members and fine-tune operations. The application appears in public trademark filings, according to Justia Trademarks, and Jasper promotes Rogenmoser’s role in Austin’s startup scene in its own materials, per Jasper’s press page.

Industry outlet WhatNow first surfaced plans for the Mackenzie Club and reported that Rogenmoser was not immediately available for comment. The same report quotes language from the club’s website promising a culinary program focused on elevated classics and inventive dishes paired with an extensive wine and spirits list, according to WhatNow.

If everything stays on schedule, the Mackenzie Club will join a growing wave of upscale hospitality projects targeting the Westlake and Barton Creek areas in 2026. Expect more permits, hiring notices and membership teasers to surface as the buildout progresses and the club inches toward its official tee-off.
