Plan Your Fredericksburg Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Hill Country wine, German heritage, and hidden gem golf

Fredericksburg is the intersection of Texas wine country and Hill Country golf. Boot Ranch is the star — a private club with limited guest access — but the public options and nearby courses keep it interesting. After golf, hit the 50+ wineries on 290, eat German-Texan BBQ, and wander Main Street. A refined trip with Texas soul.

The best courses, bars, and rentals in Fredericksburg — curated for groups.
