Teravista's
new 18 Hole Championship Golf Course features some of the best
golf
in Texas! This 7,200 yard course will challenge golfers of all
ages
and abilities. The strong Texas winds will test the best of players,
while the beginner friendly tees will make the game fun for newcomers.
This Clifton-Ezell-Clifton
design has captured the hill country beauty with views that span for 30
miles to the west. The rolling hills provide for a challenging
layout
while offering 5 different tees to present a challenge as well as a
leisurely
round on the links. This course has been deemed a "Beginner
Friendly" course by the
National Golf Course Association and offers some of the best golf in
Texas. The constant breeze keeps the golfer refreshed while
adding
a bit of challenge to golfers of all ages.
Avery
Ranch Golf Club has quickly
established
itself as the premier daily-fee golf course in the Austin area. This
226
acre, 7121 yard, 18-hole championship public course has tee placements
that will challenge the low-handicapper while creating an enjoyable
golfing
experience for all levels of players. Architect, Andy Raugust,
has
blended panoramic vistas and gentle rolling hills with oak-lined
fairways
and the 60-acre Avery Lake. It is truly the ultimate partnership of
nature
and the sport of golf.
Avery Ranch
offers
a host of amenities
to be enjoyed by every member of the community and their guests. The
course
is managed by experienced PGA professionals who are committed to ensure
your golfing experience at Avery Ranch Golf is unforgettable.
We
hired Palmer Golf because they share our philosophy of creating a
high-profile,
quality golf experience that is second to none," said Joe Cotter, who,
with partner Ray G. Wicken, created The
Golf Club at Star Ranch as part of
their
Heritage Golf Development vision.
Arnold
Palmer-
You have my word
that
the entire
experience at The Golf Club will be up to par, because that's what a
Palmer
golf experience is all about. I hope you enjoy this new course, and I
hope
to visit you soon for a round of golf.
With a
reputation
synonymous with
quality golf facilities, the team at Arnold Palmer Golf Management was
selected to manage the outstanding facilities at The Golf Club at Star
Ranch. With undulating fairways and greens flanked by pristine white
sand
bunkers, The Golf Club at Star Ranch promises to provide an enjoyable
experience
for both the novice and scratch golfer.
Traditional
has finally been defined in the Austin area, and it is in the form of
the
newest championship design of renowned architects Roy Bechtol and
Randy
Russell of Bechtol/Russell Golf. ShadowGlen
Golf Club, measuring nearly 7,100
yards
at a par of 72, embodies the qualities of the finest courses in the
country.
Scenic views are plenty with over 50 feet of elevation change while
numerous
water features also enhance this tour quality experience. Extensive
bunkering
and mounding help maintain that isolation golfers want while playing,
but
also create tricky situations for the players around the greens. In the
words of Roy Bechtol, ‘This may be my most impressive work yet’ adding
that ‘if I did it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing.’
Legacy
Hills Golf Club was designed by PGA
Hall
of Famer Billy Casper and Greg Nash to fit within the natural
surroundings
and enhance existing topographical features. In this way, the course
blends
and creates a greater balance with the natural environment. Whenever
possible,
tees and greens are incorporated into the existing Hill Country
landscape
features such as rolling hills, ravines and stands of decade old Oak
trees.
Design features and types of vegetation are selected to blend with the
surroundings while containing different varieties of grasses and plants
to create color and visual excitement.

White
Wing Golf Club also a Billy
Casper/Greg
Nash work, this course is designed so golfers at any skill level
can
be appropriately challenged. The course contains many water features
with
six acres of man made lakes. The relatively generous greens, with few
green
side bunkers are the norm so that the average golfer has a chance to
score
once they have reached the green area. Spectacular shaping frames the
course
so the golfer has the feel of being alone on the "links." The short
game
practice area covers three acres which includes 12,000 square feet of
chipping
green and a 15,000 square foot putting green. The average green size is
6,500 square feet.
Both courses
were
designed by PGA
Professional Billy Casper and his design firm, Casper/Nash and

out of Phoenix, Arizona. Both layouts are Billy Casper signature
courses.

RockGolf Club offers a wide
range
of play for all skill levels. The course was designed by Jay
Morrish

magazines
as one of Texas' best daily fee courses. The 18 hole championship
course
operates as a semi-private golf club for Circle C residents and their
families.
In addition, the Grey Rock Clubhouse and grounds are among the most
beautiful
settings for either a quick lunch, a tournament party, or even a
wedding
reception. The
centrally
located putting green
and large strolling pathways are intensely landscaped with beautiful
flowers,
fountains, and walls. With a few easy steps, you can walk into a
wonderland of nighttime lighting and enjoy a refreshing oasis in the
hot
Texas summer, and a delightful outdoor place to have a special event on
a spring or fall evening.

This private
course has been meticulously designed and planned. Home to one of
Texas'
only bent grass greens courses and large fairways the splendor of this
course is well illustrated by the rich verdant greens every day of the
year. A Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course ensures that the playing
experience
and the development of the course are second to none.
"The
golf course at Cimarron Hills has turned out
to be even better than we
expected, and here, we had high expectations," said Nicklaus himself.
"The
natural characteristics of this beautiful property have been used to
create
a course that will challenge players of all skill levels, and several
outstanding
water features on 18 will make for a memorable finish."
Situated
at the edge of the Texas Hill Country, along the picturesque San
Gabriel
River, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Cimarron Hills
is blanketed
by tall oaks and features bentgrass greens. The 18-hole, par-72 course
measures 6,429 yards from the Cimarron (Members) tees and the course
stretches
to 7,302 yards on the Bear tees. The Rose tees, measuring 5,059 yards,
offer a fair and magnificent golf experience for female members and
guests.
"The
unique character of this course, the native trees, and the rolling
hills
will provide one of the finest golf experiences in Texas," Nicklaus
concluded.
The
course blends in naturally with its surroundings, featuring deep
bunkers
and several lakes and waterfalls. The San Gabriel River runs throughout
the property and comes in to play on many of the holes to offer a
beautiful,
yet challenging golf experience. The water feature that begins between
the 18th and 19th greens (that's right, there is a 71-yard 19th hole
for
players to use to break ties and enjoy as a practice hole) cascades
down
the left side of No. 18 and "pools" in front of the par-3, 17th green.

A Southern Breeze Exclusive!
THIS
YEAR!
Barton Creek Resort is the
Golf Capitol of Texas. Fazio Foothills, Fazio Canyons, Crenshaw
Cliffside
and Palmer Lakeside are 18-hole Austin golf courses that combine the
genius
of some of golf's greatest legends with eye-catching scenery, ranging
from
the sublime to the spectacular. In addition, multiple sets of tees
allow
our Texas golf courses to cater to golfers of all abilities. Up until
now,
the only way to play there... was to stay there. This year, we are
offering
limited availability to enjoy these spectacular private links for
groups
of eight or more players.
designed
by
Ben
Crenshaw
Crenshaw
Cliffside at Barton Creek offers
up the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country and is the focus of
course
architects, Ben Crenshaw and partner Bill Coore. Rolling Hills,
natural
plateaus, soft contours and native vegetation are harmoniously woven
into
a playable championship layout that provides a variety of interesting
holes
to delight members and visitors alike.
Austin’s
well-known
native son Ben
Crenshaw admits his is an “old-style” philosophy. “We believe the
best architect is nature and the best players’ courses make good use of
the natural terrain. We let the land dictate the routing rather
then
imposing ourselves on the landscape." Indeed, Crenshaw’s course
plays
across the land quite naturally and most magically, and was rated 38th
among the “50 Best Courses in Texas” by Dallas Morning News.
As an ardent
student of golf’s history,
Crenshaw offers a rare taste of a traditional layout in his
design.
The course features broad, rolling fairways; widely-varied green sized
and is a fitting tribute to the way the game was once played. The
large, undulating putting surfaces five golfers their biggest
challenge.
While the average golfer will attempt to use the natural slopes to aid
an approach shot, the low handicap player faces the challenge of
positioning
the ball at the most advantageous point for an approach putt.
As part of
the
environmentally-sensitive
considerations, durable grasses were utilized. Bermuda 419 is
used
on the fairways and Champions Bermuda for the greens. These
drought
and heat tolerant native grasses lessen the need for man’s
intervention.
The 18th hole is an exciting climax which plays slightly uphill.
Approach shots must cross a running creek to land on a low-lying green,
which is seemingly etched into the hillside. The Crenshaw
Cliffside
course is both forgiving for the novice and challenging for the
seasoned
golfer.
Palmer
Lakeside at Barton Creek
is ideally perched on a secluded hilltop overlooking Lake Travis, just
25 miles west of Barton Creek Resort & Spa, Barton Creek’s Palmer
Lakeside
is a hidden retreat that rewards guests with striking, panoramic lake
views
and twilight glimpses of white-tail deer.
Lakeside’s
extraordinary championship
golf course, designed by King of Golf Arnold Palmer, opened for play in
1986. Palmer’s course is fun for proficient players and quite
manageable
for novices- offering exceptional enjoyment for every class of golfer.
Prowess with
the
driver is a plus
for a good round of golf, as Palmer’s course is a big-hitter’s
delight.
Professional golfers rate Palmer’s design among the “Top Ten Texas
Courses”
and consider Lakeside to have the best Champions Bermuda greens in the
State. A cascading waterfall and native flora highlight
Lakeside’s
signature 11th hole, a magnificent par-three. Indeed, the Dallas
Morning News ranks it among the “18 Most Beautiful in Texas”. The
par-five 12th and par-four 13th holes are both doglegs left with
sloping
fairways that reward any player who can “turn the ball over and take it
deep.”
Guests enjoy
the
quiet refuge of
Lakeside’s clubhouse retreat which overlooks the golf course and
affords
a lake view that is nothing short of spectacular.
Fazio
Foothills at Barton Creek,
Barton Creek Resort’s signature golf course is an astonishingly
beautiful
design masterpiece by Tom Fazio. The architectural layout
features
dramatic cliff-lined fairways, natural limestone caves, waterfalls, and
superb TiffEagle Bermuda greens, which gives golfers 18 holes of pure
pleasure
with no lack of challenge. This unforgettable golfing experience
provides plenty of elevation change and visual impact.
Tom Fazio
puts a
premium on long,
accurate drives down the Hybrid TIFSport Bermuda fairways. The
small,
TiffEagle Bermuda greens with undulating aprons and grass bunkers make
the Fazio Foothills course a shot-maker’s paradise. The five
different
sets of tee boxes appeal to a wide variety of skill levels.
The Foothills
golf
course was upgraded
in 2004 to continue challenging players and evolve with the changing
game
of golf. Representatives of course designer, Tom Fazio, were
consulted
on where to best add yardage and tees to improve play and continue to
challenge
players. Foothills received new fairway and tee grass and gained
nearly 200 yards, making the total yardage on this par 72 course 7,125
yards. The result is a better-looking, better-playing grass that
“greens-up” earlier in the season and stays green later into the fall,
creating a more consistent and dense playing surface.
The Fazio
Foothills
course, established
in 1986, ranks at the top of all experts’ lists. Golfweek
Magazine
rates the Foothills #4 among America’s 50 Best Resort Courses.
The
course is also named the Best Resort Course in Texas and has the
distinction
of consistently having several holes listed among the State’s Best or
Most
Beautiful Holes (holes #12, 4, 9, 16, 10, 18) recognized by the Dallas
Morning News.
Fazio
Canyons at Barton Creek,
a 7,153-yard, par-72 layout boasts the signature of Tom Fazio, the
legendary
golf designer of Barton Creek’s 18-hold Fazio Foothill’s course.
Fazio’s second masterpiece is located just two miles from the resort
and
has its own pro shop and extensive practice areas. This is also
the
location of the Chuck Cook Golf Academy.
The course
offers
numerous scenic
holes lined with stately Red Oaks and Sycamore trees and features
spectacular
Hill Country views of Short Springs Branch, a beautiful limestone bed
creek
which meanders throughout the course. The 561-yard, par-5
finishing
hold is tremendous and by all accounts rivals Barton Creek’s existing
#18
hole on the Foothills course.
Additionally,
the
design and construction
of the new course embody a Fazio trademark of protecting and preserving
the environment. The Fazio Canyons course is among the first
courses
in the country with the Signature designation in the Certified Audubon
Sanctuary System. Fazio Canyons course continues to receive
recognition
and high ratings among several publications.
