This course was the first stop on my AZ golf retreat. I never played the courses prior to the renovations, so I can’t compare, but the new 18-hole course (once 27) was a great warm up round for our crew (literally and figuratively, the AZ summer heat’s no joke).

The front 9 was relatively easy with more challenging holes (and better views-the only photos in this IG compilation) on the back. I would recommend this course, but don’t pay full rack rate!

Although the front 9 has its challenges, it acts more of a warm up for the back 9, really nothing too memorable on the front. However, the back 9 has amazing views, and more challenging holes, definitely added a few more strokes on the back. Great finishing hole!

Pace of play was about 5 hours, which was surprising for a Monday morning round.

I was able to jump on with the resident rate, which is decent for the course but I don’t think the course is worth the non-resident rate. So if you are not a local and would like to tryout this course, I recommend trying to find a deal.

Side note: I HIGHLY recommended their Huevos Rancheros!

The day has finally come for this Austin Muni Kid to get her day in the sun and play Barton Creek! I got the elusive invite to play the Coore-Crenshaw Cliffside course and I will be floating on cloud 9 for a loooong time.

I did not play the course prior to its recent renovations, so I cannot compare the new conditions with the old; however, this course did not disappoint. It is a true Texas Hill Country course with perfectly manicured rolling fairways and views for days from the tee boxes. The large greens were a harsh reminder that I need to practice my putting, but a small price to pay for glorious golf.

A few things of note: bag drop off and parking for Cliffside is not clear for those driving into the resort just for golf (bag drop off designated by orange cones blocking the driveway to the proshop). I am assuming since everything is still pretty new, better signage will come along with time. Also, the 19th hole (Crenshaw Bar and Eatery) is not easy to find either, but worth the hunt with great views of the Fazio Foothills course from the patio.
