Barton Creek's signature golf course is an astonishingly beautiful design masterpiece by Tom Fazio. The architectural layout features dramatic cliff-lined fairways, natural limestone caves, waterfalls, and superb Champions Bermuda greens which give golfers 18 holes of pure pleasure with no lack of challenge. This unforgettable golfing experience provides plenty of elevation change and visual impact. Tom Fazio puts a premium on long, accurate drives. The small, Champions Bermuda greens with undulating aprons and grass bunkers make the Fazio Foothills course a shot-maker's paradise. The six different sets of tee boxes appeal to a wide variety of skill levels. The Fazio Foothills course, established in 1986, ranks at the top of all experts' lists. Golf Digest rates the Fazio Foothills among the Best Resort Courses in America, #1 in Texas and most impressively, 60th in the hallowed list of the 100 Greatest Golf Courses in America. The course is consistently named Overall Favorite by Texas Professional Golfers and has the distinction of having not only one of the Most Difficult golf holes (the par-five #18), but also several holes listed among the State's 18 Best or Most Beautiful (holes #9, 10, 16 and 18) as recognized by The Dallas Morning News. The Fazio Foothills course served as home to the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf senior tournament from 1990 - 1994. |
