A private club at a resort

Summit Rock is a rare private club situated at a resort. You have to be a member to play it. That's too bad for resort guests because this would be a Top 100-type experience they would love to experience. It rides a plateau for a while, overlooking the entire community. Jack Nicklaus did a nice job with a good mix of holes. There's at least six signature holes and moments. Once the new clubhouse is built by next year, this will be one of Austin's best destination private clubs.

One of Jack's newest and most fun courses

If you are fortunate enough to play it, Summit Rock is a standout Hill Country private club and one of Jack Nicklaus' more fun designs. The course has a wonderful setting and the amenities are even better (the driving range is complete with rocking chairs, music, fire pits, you name it -- you could spend all day here working on your game). The course has lots of risk-reward options like reachable par 5s, drivable par 4s, etc. In typical Jack fashion, you will be tested, particularly off some tee boxes, and the greens are very difficult, while bunkers can be menacing. The course is open only to members, but hopefully one day they will open it up to resort guests too (like with the club's three other courses).
