About this course
Fazio Canyons, carved into the rolling Texas Hill Country, is a testament to strategic, modern design where risk and reward are the constant companions. The routing plays through dramatic limestone canyons and stands of native oaks, creating a visual and strategic tapestry unique to the region. Fairways are generous enough, but the course offers some dramatic changes of elevation from tee to green and a very natural look from start to finish. Tom Fazio, the architect of the course, used the natural terrain to create holes that demand creative shot-making and a thoughtful approach. The course has earned a reputation as one of the more enjoyable courses in the Austin area to play. While the club hasn't hosted major professional events, it remains a highly regarded destination for local golf enthusiasts. It is known as one of the most popular courses at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa, appealing to members and resort guests alike. Finally, if you're looking for a refreshing beverage after your round, members rave about the Prickly Pear Margarita, a Texan twist on a classic.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa touch down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, a straightforward twenty-five-minute drive west into the Texas Hill Country. The route climbs gently away from the city's urban sprawl, trading downtown skyline for rolling limestone terrain and the first hints of juniper-studded canyons. Private aviation guests often prefer Austin Executive Airport on the city's western edge, shaving precious minutes from the final approach. As you turn into the resort's gated entrance, the landscape opens onto a sweeping Hill Country estate where championship golf and spa luxury converge beneath the wide Texas sky.
