What sets Towne Lake apart from many Woodstock neighborhoods is the breadth and quality of its amenities. Depending on the specific sub-neighborhood and HOA, residents typically enjoy access to:

• Towne Lake Hills Golf Course — An 18-hole course running through portions of the community, offering both membership golf and a social focal point for residents
• Multiple community pools — Several HOAs maintain their own swim facilities; some have water slides and splash areas for kids
