Texas Treasure in the Hill Country
The 27-hole golf course, home to some of the finest bentgrass greens in all of Texas, has received a long list of awards. Tom Kite worked with Roy Bechtol and Randy Russell to design the original 18, The Valley and The Hills, on rolling terrain blessed with streams, lakes and majestic oaks.
The father-son team of Jay and Carter Morrish designed the additional nine holes, The Creeks, which opened in July of 2008. The course hosts many important tournaments and competitions, including pre-qualifiers for the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open and the Texas Senior Amateur Championship.
