About this course

The Bandit, nestled in the rolling Texas Hill Country outside New Braunfels, whispers tales of outlaws and eagles. Carved from rugged terrain, this modern marvel, designed by Keith Foster, demands strategic play over raw power. Undulating fairways lined with native grasses and strategically placed bunkers force players to consider every shot, rewarding thoughtful approaches over bomb-and-gouge tactics. The course doesn't favor any particular style of play, but players who can manage the wind and the uneven lies will find success. While The Bandit hasn't played host to national championships, its challenging layout and stunning scenery have made it a favorite among regional players and discerning golfers. It's a course that respects the natural environment, seamlessly blending into the surrounding landscape. Beyond the golf, The Bandit cultivates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The clubhouse is known for its Texas hospitality and, perhaps surprisingly, a particularly robust wine list, reflecting the growing sophistication of the New Braunfels area. It's a place where members and guests alike can unwind after a round and savor the unique charm of the Hill Country.
