How’s this for a Father’s Day treat? Horseshoe Bay Resort outside of Austin in the Texas Hill Country is offering free golf for dads when they are accompanied by a guest who pays a full green fee on Father’s Day, June 21.

And it’s good on any of the resort’s Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed coursesApple Rock, Slick Rock and one of the toughest tests in the state, Ram Rock.

You could work this a couple of ways. If you’re a dad, get one of your golfing kids to bring you. Or bring your own dad. Heck, if you work it right, you could bring your dad and a brother and one of your kids who play golf and only pay two green fees.

The free green fees include range access and shared carts, and guests can also get a special Sunday night hotel rate on June 21 for just $99, which is 50 percent off the regular rate

If you’ve never played Horseshoe Bay, this is a great opportunity to play three of the best golf courses in Texas. Play early enough, and you can even catch the final round of the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.

Families can also take advantage of the resort’s Summer Activity Guide, including banana boat rides, sandcastle building, dockside fishing, junior tennis clinics on three USTA-sponsored kids’ tennis courts (the nation’s first), poolside treasure hunts and sunset cruises, just to name a few.

For more information, call (877) 611-0112.

It's nice to see golfer-friendly promotions like this. Don't care whether it's because they are nice people or because of the slow economy, golfers getting a break is good no matter what the reason.

Any serious golfer should take advantage of this offer !! Horseshoe Bay, in my opinion, is one of the top golf meccas in the state if not the country !!! Three top notch golf course that golfers of all abilities can enjoy. Feeling like you have your "A" game ? Play Ramrock from the tips !!! One of my top three courses is Applerock. What a beautiful golf course !!! There are not too many places you can go and play three Robert Trent Jones golf courses (if any). This is a must play for all golfers !! Happy Fathers Day to all of us dads !!!

He has covered every facet of golf, including the PGA and LPGA Tours, equipment and course architecture, as well as the bane of his golfing existence: instruction.
