“A fun and challenging course for a lower handicapper. Many holes have potential for lost balls left and right, so a more novice golfer may not find this fun. Beautiful scenery which is relatively remote feeling, considering it is not far from the hustle and bustle of Austin. Great conditioning!"

“Well balanced and fun. Better get the gettable holes cause the course has some holes with bite."

“Located 25 mins southwest of downtown Austin, this Tom Fazio design opened for play in 1999. The best of the four Barton Creek courses with the Fazio Foothills being a close second. Great, friendly staff and a fun challenging course with lots of elevation changes and tricky approach shots"

“Barton Creek Canyons a very fun golf course in a lovely setting in the Texas Hill Country outside Austin. The greens are larger with more interesting contours than those at the adjacent Foothills course. The course is generally quite open, but could be even more so; there are a few spots where trees encroach on what could be greater angles."

“Most scenic of the Barton Creek courses. Fazio used the Hills of Austin to create probably the best of the Barton Creek Resort. A must play if visiting Austin. Fairways were firm and fast, greens rolled true."

“Spectacular terrain and scenery for the Hill Country of Austin. For those who can control their golf ball, this one will test all your skills. Otherwise, bring lots of extra balls."
