About this course
Ram Rock is one of four courses at Horseshoe Bay Resort in the Texas Hill Country near Marble Falls, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1981. Known within the resort as "The Challenger," the par-72 layout measures 6,926 yards from the championship tees and is built in a counter-clockwise routing that gives many of its doglegs a right-to-left bend. Narrow fairways, dramatic elevation changes, roughly ten water hazards and rugged natural rock outcroppings define the course, along with a par-3 fourth hole played to an island green. Ram Rock has hosted the Texas State Open and other USGA qualifying and amateur events. Access runs through the resort: overnight guests and resort club members can book tee times, and some outside listings categorize the course as private rather than daily-fee public, reflecting its resort-controlled access model rather than open walk-up play.

Horseshoe Bay Resort (Slick Rock)
Horseshoe Bay, TX · 0.6 mi away
Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed Horseshoe Bay Resort's Slickrock Golf Course, which opened in 1971. The course reflects his design philosophy of "hard par, easy bogey." It incorporates rolling granite outcroppings, creeks, and oak-lined fairways of the Texas Hill Country. The 14th hole, a par-4 known as the "Million Dollar Hole," features a 35-yard waterfall over Slick Rock Creek. Golfers drive carts behind the waterfall, then play a precise second shot to a guarded green.
Horseshoe Bay Resort (Summit Rock)
Horseshoe Bay, TX · 0.7 mi away
Summit Rock, a private, members-only course at Horseshoe Bay Resort, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course that opened in 2012. Nicklaus designed each hole to be a “signature hole,” blending seamlessly with the scenic topography punctuated by stands of Texas live oaks. The 200-acre, par-72 course features a lower, level playing area framed by old oak trees (holes 1, 2, 13-18) and an upper, more rugged terrain with impressive views of Lake LBJ and the Hill Country (holes 3-12). The course, measuring up to 7,200 yards from the back tees, offers plenty of room off the tee but presents dramatic and intimidating approaches into well-guarded greens. Notable holes include challenging par fours at 4 and 13, tough par fives at 5 and 18, and four par threes that could each be considered a signature hole. Summit Rock is considered by many to be one of the Golden Bear’s best works, offering a unique and challenging experience in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
