Crenshaw Cliffside at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa

Crenshaw Cliffside, a monument to Texas Hill Country golf, bears the distinctive stamp of Ben Crenshaw's design philosophy. This course, nestled amidst the rolling terrain synonymous with Omni Barton Creek Resort, presents a formidable yet fair test for golfers. It isn't particularly known outside of Texas.

The layout favors a strategic approach rather than brute force. Crenshaw Cliffside has generous fairways, yet well-placed bunkers and natural hazards guard the undulating greens, challenging golfers to think their way around the course. The terrain here has many ups and downs in elevation changes from tee to green on several holes.

Crenshaw, with his deep reverence for the game's traditions, has carved out a course that blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, which are more Texas than the Scottish Highlands. While Crenshaw Cliffside may not host major championships, its reputation as a challenging and enjoyable course within the Omni Barton Creek Resort solidifies its place as a regional draw, especially for those seeking a refined Hill Country golf experience.

The resort is known for its high end experiences, the property is vast and includes many restaurants and amenities that appeal to families, couples, golf groups and business retreats. It’s also a popular spot for native Austinites to escape the city without ever really leaving.
