Fazio's Hill Country masterpiece near Austin

Austin, TX · 6.5 mi away

Fazio Canyons is the second Tom Fazio design at Omni Barton Creek, opened in 1999 and routed through limestone cliffs, red oaks and sycamores along Short Springs Branch, a spring-fed creek that winds through much of the course. At 7,433 yards and par 72 it is the longest layout at the resort. In 2022 it reopened after a seven-month, $5 million renovation, done with Fazio's team, that added new tees, rebuilt the bunkers and greens, and installed Toptracer on the range. It was the first resort course in Texas certified as an Audubon International Signature Sanctuary. The round closes with a 561-yard par-5 finishing hole, often compared with the famous 18th on Foothills. Play is for resort guests and members, with tee times bookable up to 120 days ahead.

Crenshaw Cliffside opened in 1991 as one of the first courses Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw designed together, and Crenshaw, an Austin native and two-time Masters champion, built it around his view that "the best architect is nature." The par-71 layout plays to about 6,650 yards (72.6 rating, 133 slope from the back tees) with wide, tree-lined fairways and large, heavily contoured greens, so the real test is the approach rather than the drive. It is shorter and more forgiving off the tee than the resort's Fazio Foothills course, and it received a renovation in 2018 with Champion Bermuda greens. The finishing hole plays slightly uphill, with an approach over a running creek to a low green cut into the hillside. Cliffside hosted a round of the 2022 PGA Professional Championship. Tee times are for resort guests and Barton Creek members, bookable up to 120 days out.
