We’ve always heard that good things come in threes, and as far as a Texas golf vacation we were proven right at Horseshoe Bay Resort. We’re talking about Slick Rock, Ram Rock and Apple Rock – three championship golf courses, all designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
That’s a winning combination for golf, any way you look at it. Horseshoe Bay has been ranked, even by Jones himself, as among the top 1 percent of golf courses in the United States. Ram Rock, the second of the three courses, is known as the “Challenger” for its multitude of water hazards, elevation changes, deep bunkers and natural dry creeks. Apple Rock was completed in 1986 and hugs the shores of Lake LBJ. And the venerable Slick Rock combines a variety of landscapes for an unforgettable day on the links.
This is all part of the overall experience at Horseshoe Bay Resort, which is itself world-class with luxury hotel and waterfront villa accommodations. The resort proudly features a full-service spa, a full marina, a tennis complex for adults and children and swimming pools that will make you wonder where you’ve arrived – if only briefly, because you’ll only want to be here.
