About this course

Fazio Foothills at Omni Barton Creek, carved into the Texas Hill Country, embodies the strategic shot-making favored by its designer, Tom Fazio. This modern course, sculpted from rolling terrain punctuated by limestone outcroppings and native oak trees, presents a visually arresting and technically challenging layout. It rewards thoughtful play over brute strength, with doglegs and undulating greens demanding precise approaches and deft putting. While not a frequent host of major championships, Fazio Foothills has proven a popular site for regional competitions and corporate outings, its challenging design and picturesque setting providing a memorable experience for golfers of all skill levels. It’s a course where local lore thrives, tales of heroic shots and unfortunate bounces echoing through the canyons. The convivial atmosphere permeates the clubhouse, where post-round analysis and camaraderie are as much a part of the experience as the golf itself. The club is known for its hearty Texas fare, particularly the brisket sandwich, a local favorite savored by members and guests alike after tackling the demanding back nine.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa begin at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, a straightforward twenty-five-minute drive west into the Texas Hill Country. The route climbs gently from the city's urban grid into rolling limestone terrain, where live oaks thicken and the air takes on the faint scent of cedar and wildflower. Private arrivals can utilize Austin Executive Airport on the city's western edge, shaving precious minutes from an already brief journey. The final turn off Loop 360 delivers you into the resort's sprawling sanctuary, where the rugged beauty of the Hill Country unfolds across eight thousand acres of protected wilderness and championship golf.
