Resort Overview
Four years ago, as part of a $150-million renovation, Omni added a third lodging tower and a huge new spa as well as four swimming pools to this Texas Hill Country Destination. Thankfully there have been no changes to the rolling scenery, the backdrop for first-rate resort golf. Both Tom Fazio courses — the original design next to the resort and the Canyons a mile away — have been ranked the Nos. 1 and 2 public courses in the state. The Ben Crenshaw course across the street from the resort, designed by the native son and longtime Barton Creek visitor, has Texas-sized greens and dramatic views. The fourth course, Barton Creek Lakeside, is 30 minutes from the resort, near Willie Nelson’s private layout.
