Duffers can hit the links on any of the resort's three championship Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf courses:

* Slick Rock: Built in 1971 and spanning approximately 170 acres, this course provides more than 33,700 feet of golf frontage property. With bentgrass greens, multiple tees on every hole, more than 71 sand traps and 12 water hazards, Slick Rock embodies the Robert Trent Jones, Sr. philosophy of "hard par, easy bogey."

* Ram Rock: Constructed in 1981, this course has been nicknamed the "Challenger." Narrow fairways and rolling Crenshaw bentgrass greens are surrounded by 62 deep bunkers, 10 water hazards and natural dry creeks on six holes. With its dramatic elevation changes, Ram Rock offers enough length and difficulty to challenge scratch players in any group.

* Apple Rock: Horseshoe Bay Resort's third championship Robert Trent Jones, Sr. course was completed in 1986 and received distinction as "Best New Resort Course" by Golf Digest. Widely known as one of the most scenic courses in the state, these spectacular greens span 147 acres of the rolling Texas Hill Country along the shores of Lake LBJ.

Overnight guests receive temporary membership at Horseshoe Bay Resort granting access to resort facilities, including an 18-hole par 72 Bermuda grass putting course, four swimming pools, a spa and fitness facility, a full-service marina, seven dining facilities, 12 adult tennis courts, three USTA-sponsored kids' tennis courts, a jet center with a 6,000-foot runway, and private charter jet service via Air Horseshoe.
