Overview
Host of the Texas State Open on multiple occasions, this Hill Country course is a demanding test—so much so it used to be called “Challenger.” Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the par 72 is built in a counter-clockwise circle, causing several of the doglegs to favor a right-to-left-shape. Rugged rock outcroppings throughout the course, as well as an island green on the par-3 fourth, make Ram Rock a memorable place to play at Horseshoe Bay Resort, which features four 18-hole courses.

“Recently renovated, the changes which include the removal of trees open up the golf course in key areas making it more playable and less difficult. A shot makers paradise where you're required to work the ball both ways. This is the most challenging of the three courses at Horseshoe Bay Resort."
