5 MAR 2026 · Northline is Leander’s new downtown district - a unique destination where contemporary design meets the character and charm of Texas Hill Country tradition. From restaurants, retail and residential, to offices, a hotel and public gathering spaces, this urban mixed-use community will become the heart and soul of Leander and transform Williamson County. I sit down with Alex Tynberg to talk about the City of Leander's $4 Million dollar investment and what that means to the project 5 years removed from our original sit down.

The club focuses on four tenets: improving existing courses through volunteer work, advocating for new course installations, bringing new players to the game, and donating to local charities.
