The Summit Rock layout at the Horseshoe Bay Resort is the only private layout at an impressive 72-hole facility. It’s a Jack Nicklaus Signature course which was opened by the Golden Bear in 2012. The other three courses at the resort – Apple Rock, Ram Rock and Slick Rock – are all Tom Fazio tracks that appeared over a fifteen year period between 1971 and 1986.
Occupying a 200-acre property, the Summit Rock course is laid out in two distinct compartments; a lower, flat playing area (containing holes 1, 2 and 13 to 18) and an upper, more rugged section (with holes 3 to 12) which offers impressive views of nearby Lake Lyndon B. Johnson and the Hill Country.
Feature holes include short par fours at 4th and 13th, and tough par fives at the 5th and 18th. All four par threes can stake a claim as “signature hole” on the scorecard but perhaps the best of these holes is also the longest, the 230-yard 12th.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
