New Braunfels, Texas, situated between Austin and San Antonio, is a charming city located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country,  Known for its German heritage, the city boasts a vibrant culture and picturesque landscapes. Home to alluring attractions like Schlitterbahn Waterpark and the Comal River, New Braunfels attracts over 1.5 million tourists annually generating over $750 million in revenue each year.

Despite this success, there is a noticeable absence of family-friendly entertainment and recreational options in downtown New Braunfels. The city offers limited options for family-friendly restaurants combining great food and entertainment. In addition, there are insufficient event spaces suitable for family gatherings, rehearsal dinners or company outings near downtown.

Both residents and tourists alike are yearning for a comprehensive destination in the downtown area that provides a diverse range of activities where families and friends can bond, have a fantastic time, eat good food and enjoy refreshing cocktails.

The solution! More than 130 million people of all ages play mini golf every year with industry revenues in excess of $1 billion annually.

Darrell and Linda Panozzo reside in New Braunfels, TX and are the proud owners of The Clubhouse on Castell, a family-friendly establishment that combines mouthwatering cuisine and hand crafted drinks with an 18-hole mini golf course professionally designed with dramatic features, beautiful landscaping and undulating greens full of risks and rewards! 




Linda comes to the table with a distinguished background of military service, business acumen, and over 20 years in the real estate industry. Linda joined the United States Air Force in 1999 and served with distinction for 5 years, earning commendation medals for outstanding service on two occasions. She then joined the private sector in the environmental engineering field, moving on to the National Park Service to continue learning and engaging in the environmental field. During this time, she also completed her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. After completion of her term of service with the Park Service, she turned her attention to Real Estate and hasn't looked back.

Linda is driven to provide unparalleled service to her clients both in the residential market and the commercial sector. She strives to ensure that the customer service provided is beyond exceptional. She goes above and beyond to determine if properties are a good fit for the client, if the numbers make sense, and also educates on how to purchase in such a way that the financial stability of the client, along with their wealth-building opportunities, will remain intact with the purchase.

After a few years of real estate, Linda went on to receive her Masters in Business Administration as well and puts those learned skills to work with each and every transaction.

Darrell and Linda's combined experience, dedication to customer service, and excellence in finances provide The Clubhouse on Castell the right tools for incredible success.

Darrell's journey from a young ball washer to driving range manager showcased his proactive business approach and attention to detail.

His versatility led him to self-teach software development, creating a widely-used program.

Transitioning from finance to construction, Darrell and Linda founded Eagle Touch Building and Remodeling, focusing on restoring old homes in New Braunfels. Their latest project, the Clubhouse on Castell, merges Darrell's passion for golf with his financial acumen, breathing new life into a historic craftsman home.
