Barton Creek Resort & Spa is home to four 18-hole championship courses. The Fazio Foothills and Coore Crenshaw courses are located at the main resort centre, while the Fazio Canyons (generally the highest-rated of the four) is two miles from the resort centre, and Palmer Lakeside is 26 miles away.
The Fazio Foothills course, typically the second highest-rated of the Barton Creek quartet, is a championship layout that ranks with some of the best in Texas.
