Renovated and reopened in 2019, this spectacular course includes holes on the back 9 which lead golfers to the shores of Lake LBJ. Newly renovated bentgrass greens, 50 renovated bunkers and water come into play on seven holes, and dramatic elevation changes test the skills of players at every level. Designed by legendary golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Apple Rock is touted as one of the most scenic and breathtaking championship golf courses in Texas. Spanning 147 acres, Jones, Sr. used some of the highest, most picturesque land in Horseshoe Bay for the Apple Rock layout.

Upon opening in 1985, Apple Rock was named among the Best New Resort Courses in America by Golf Digest, and has hosted the Texas State Open, USGA Qualifying events and other regional professional tournaments. With more than 50 bunkers, and water coming into play on seven holes, it creates a welcome challenge for even the most skilled players.

Summit Rock, Horseshoe Bay Resort’s exclusive, members-only course, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature designed 18-hole layout. The Par 72 course boasts some of the most stunning scenery in Texas and is considered by many to be the Golden Bear’s best work. Summit Rock has earned many accolades including Golfweek’s Top 100 Resort Courses in America (#61). Nicklaus said each hole of Summit Rock is a “Signature Hole” as he blended the course layout through the scenic topography and stands of Texas Live Oaks. Holes one and two play through a wide-open, level-playing area and afterward players are rewarded with a 30-mile Hill Country view from the elevated tee box at the famed 3rd hole. There are many elevated tee boxes with spectacular views through holes 4-12 before heading down the scenic ridgeline on hole 13. Most of the greens are large, raised and guarded with slope and undulations that will challenge any putter reads.

The Ultimate Putting Course

Our intriguing 18-hole, par 72 putting course was designed to play just like a competitive course, but in miniature. The Zoysia Grass putting course offers a scenic landscape of waterfalls, rose gardens, exotic birds and a trail. Golfers use their putters to play through fairways with challenging bunkers and water hazards and putting surfaces.
