This resort has long attracted golfers to its two 18-hole championship courses: Yaupon and Live Oak. Yaupon challenges players with white sand bunkers contrasting against groomed fairways. Live Oak utilizes creeks and canyons and brings alive the feeling of the Hill Country.

Golfers looking to improve their game can enroll at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Academy of Golf. The school includes three full-length holes and two different schools.

Off the links, the action continues at Lakeway's full-service marina. You can try your luck fishing or take out a sailboat and enjoy Lake Travis's scenic coves, which in the spring months are lined with fields of fragrant bluebonnets.

Lakeway is also considered a top tennis destination with the World of Tennis complex, rated as one of the top 25 in the world. You'll find professional instruction and don't be surprised to see some tournament action at the Stadium Court, which seats 1,200 onlookers.

The resort is also lauded for its dining. The Travis Dining Room overlooks Lake Travis and serves Southwest cuisine including tortilla soup, lobster enchiladas, Hill Country Cobb salad, and even grilled ostrich.
