Barton Creek Resort - Course 3 in Austin
This resort, which was named to "GOLF Magazine's" 1998 list of "Silver Medal Resorts," features four excellent eighteen hole courses.
Each course is named after its designer and has its own unique characteristics. The Crenshaw and Coore courses are links-style designs that feature wide, rolling fairways and greens that vary in size.
The Fazio Foothills Course features cliff-lined fairways, along with natural caves and waterfalls. This course has received many awards for its scenic beauty. "GOLF Magazine" rated the Fazio Foothills Course 38th under the 1998 category of "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." "GOLFWEEK" awarded it 32nd among "America's 100 Best Modern Courses" for 1997, 50th for 1998 and 80th for 1999.
The newest addition to this facility is the 18-hole Fazio Canyons Course. Open in 2000, this 7,161 yard par 72 layout is located two miles from the resort's main clubhouse. The course boasts scenic tree-lined holes, and a limestone creek that intersects the course.
The Palmer Course is part of the resort, but it is located approximately twenty-five miles away in the Town of Spicewood. It has a separate pro shop telephone number of (800) 888-BCLS. The Palmer Course is located on a secluded hilltop, which has panoramic views of Lake Travis.
The club has hosted the Senior PGA Tour's Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. The resort closes one of these courses each Tuesday. All tee times may be made when booking room reservations by calling (800) 336-6157.
