Overview
Fazio Foothills is another former member of America's 100 Greatest Public, and the favorite among many at the Omni Barton Creek, though the Canyons course ranks slightly higher in our scoring criteria. The Foothills course, which used to host a PGA Tour Champions event and hosted the 2003 U.S. Senior Women's Amateur, underwent an update in 2017 to the layout, which tumbles and undulates down the rolling hills and around and over creeks.

“Foothills is an enjoyable round of golf, with a strong back nine. The 12th and 13th are a standout back-to-back short and long par 4 and two of the best holes in Texas. Recent renovations could have gone much further to improve playability and fairness."

“Foothills is the original Fazio at Barton Creek. Course is routed over hilly terrain with some great views. Not a subtle golf course, but well-done."

“Very scenic course with multiple holes that showcase the limestone rock formations that are prevalent in the area. Makes great use of the elevation change in the area. Very fun course to play."
