A Texas golf trip suits groups and couples who want resort golf in reliable warmth, with everything from Tom Fazio Hill Country courses to brand new championship layouts within a few hours of each other. The state's golf clusters around comfortable resorts near Austin, in the Hill Country and around the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, which makes for an easy, low stress week of stay and play.
It also suits the golfer who likes their trip with a side of something else: live music and barbecue in Austin, lake country in the Hill Country, or the sports and dining of Dallas Fort Worth. Base at one or two resorts, play a different course each day, and pair the golf with the best of Texas off the course.
Just outside Austin, Omni Barton Creek headlines with Fazio Canyons, a Tom Fazio design of rocky outcrops, streams and broad fairways, alongside the Golfweek rated Wolfdancer course. A natural base for a Hill Country golf week with the city close by.
Overlooking Lake LBJ in the Hill Country, Horseshoe Bay offers three Robert Trent Jones Senior courses, Slick Rock, Apple Rock and Ram Rock, plus the Jack Nicklaus designed Summit Rock from 2012, a complete multi course resort in one place.
The new home of the PGA of America near Dallas, Omni PGA Frisco boasts two championship courses, Fields Ranch East by Gil Hanse and Fields Ranch West by Beau Welling, the most significant recent addition to Texas resort golf.
Designers, years and tournament history verified June 2026. Green fees and packages are indicative third party figures for the 2026 season and change with demand. Always confirm directly before booking.
Land in Austin, settle into a Hill Country resort. An evening on South Congress or by the resort for live music and Texas barbecue.
Play Fazio Canyons in the morning, then an afternoon in Austin or by the pool. A second Barton Creek course if you want 36.
Transfer to Horseshoe Bay on Lake LBJ, play one of its championship courses, dinner overlooking the water.
A second Hill Country round, Summit Rock or one of the Robert Trent Jones courses, with lake time around it.
Option to head north to Omni PGA Frisco for a round at Fields Ranch before flying out of Dallas, or end the trip in the Hill Country.
Austin and the Hill Country resorts are within roughly an hour of each other; the Dallas Fort Worth resorts are around three to four hours north, better added as a separate leg.

Texas golf is best in spring and autumn, when the Hill Country is mild and green. Summers are hot, so early tee times are the rule, while winters are generally playable and quieter. Book the newest courses, especially Fields Ranch at Omni PGA Frisco, well ahead given high demand, and confirm rates and packages before booking.
Tell us the courses you want and roughly when. One concierge costs the whole trip to the head and replies within one working day, with no obligation.
The two main clusters are the Austin and Hill Country resorts, such as Omni Barton Creek and Horseshoe Bay, and the Dallas Fort Worth area, home to the new Omni PGA Frisco. Austin and the Hill Country sit close together; Dallas is better added as a separate leg.
