Barton Creek Resort, Austin

Booking Austin hotels

This conference resort sits on 4000 acres of manicured grounds in the Texas Hill Country just southwest of Austin.Nicknamed the "Golf Capital of Texas," this 300-room luxury resort lives up to its moniker thanks to courses designed by Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer and Ben Crenshaw. The resort is home to the Golf Institute, which includes a full golf school, short-course academy and private lessons. The best known of the courses here is the Fazio Foothills Golf Course, known for cliff-lined fairways as well as waterfalls and even limestone caves. The three other courses also share a definite Hill Country mood; don’t be surprised to find yourself sharing the fairways with white-tailed deer.

The Hill Country landscape is the focal point of the fairways; its influence is seen in other aspects of the luxury resort as well. Southwest-influenced architecture sets a regional atmosphere and the restaurants offer local cuisine as well with a gourmet flair. Even the spa hints at the surrounding Hill Country thanks to signature treatments such the Texas Mountain Laurel Body Wrap.

A favorite with golfers as well as convention groups, the resort includes a restaurant, bar, room service, golf courses, putting green, tennis, and much more.
