HORSESHOE BAY, Texas – Horseshoe Bay Resort, the premier golf resort destination in the Central Texas Hill Country and part of the Crescent Hotels & Resorts Latitudes collection, has been named among Golf Digest’s “50 Best Golf Destinations for Women.”
The Golf Digest editorial team polled its female teachers and course-ranking panelists to vote on the best American golf resorts they’d recommend to other women. The team thoroughly researched and vetted the results, to compile a list of the 50 Best Golf Destinations for Women.
“As more women join the game — 800,000 from 2019 to 2023, according to the National Golf Foundation — more realize one of the greatest experiences for any golfer is gathering your friends and taking your collective love of golf on the road,” said Keely Levins, assistant editor of Golf Digest. “To help you and your friends plan your next great golf trip, we talked to women golfers and instructors across the country to curate this list of 50 destinations in the United States that would all make a great choice for a women’s golf trip.”
The Golf Digest article goes on to acknowledge that every group seeks something different in a golf getaway, which is why this list is full of unique experiences – whether a group of friends wants to travel and only play golf, wants to mix in other activities, easily access a top-notch spa, or include wining and dining.
The article specifically singled out the new Cap Rock Golf Academy at Horseshoe Bay Resort, as well: “The golf school offers half and full-day instruction options, which will be bolstered by the completion of its new golf academy building. The 3,000-square-foot academy will feature indoor and outdoor hitting bays and will be completed at the end of 2024. Located on Lake LBJ, this resort offers boat rentals for a fun post-golf activity.”
Anthony Holder, director of golf operations at Horseshoe Bay Resort, says “To be recognized by Golf Digest as a top golf resort destination for women says a lot about our vision for making Horseshoe Bay Resort the kind of golfing experience anyone can enjoy, and also reflects the friendliness and culture-building aspects that shine here thanks to the great female members we have. Horseshoe Bay Resort is a fun and engaging place for women, both on and off the golf course. We’re seeing more women booking group trips here because they can enjoy great golf along with lake activities, pickleball, tennis, spa and tremendous dining and exploration around the area. Central Texas is one of the country’s great unsung winery destinations and people love adding the winery trail to their agenda when they visit Horseshoe Bay Resort.”
Only an hour northwest of Austin, Horseshoe Bay Resort is an easy reach, deep in the heart of ruggedly beautiful Central Texas, by air or land. Once inside the oasis of the 7,000-acre resort and community by the shores of Lake LBJ, you’ll find a lush, tropical and inviting outdoor paradise. The three award-winning golf courses that are always open to resort guests – Ram Rock, Slick Rock and Apple Rock –all creations of the renowned Robert Trent Jones Sr., play through quintessential Hill Country landscapes with ample elevation change and water hazards, and have all undergone recent upgrades and improvements. The newly renovated Whitewater Putting Course, a rollicking 18-hole, par-72 Zoysia grass putting experience adorned with immersive tropical landscaping, sand traps and flowing water hazards brings a fun and carefree golfing dimension for guests of all ages.
