BARTON CREEK - FAZIO FOOTHILLS

AUSTIN, TX

This Tom Fazio design is Barton Creek's signature golf course. One of two Fazio courses at Barton Creek, the Foothills is famous for its dynamic cliff-lined fairways. However, there are a number of unusual features here including natural limestone caves, waterfalls, and dramatic elevation changes. Fazio constantly keeps the pressure on off the tee where you must hit long and accurate drives. The putting surfaces -- featuring TifEagle Bermuda grass -- are as good as you'll find anywhere. The course was built in 1986 and has consistently ranked among the top publica access courses in the U.S. In fact, it's currently ranked #4 in Texas by Golfweek and #13 in the state by Golf Digest.
