Plan Your Horseshoe Bay Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Four championship courses on Lake LBJ in the Texas Hill Country

Horseshoe Bay Resort is the crown jewel of Texas Hill Country golf — three Robert Trent Jones Sr. courses plus a Jack Nicklaus Signature course, all carved through granite hills and live oaks overlooking Lake LBJ. Stay on-site for seamless golf, then hit the lake for sunset boat cruises. It's resort golf done right without the pretension.
