The fazio foothills designed, one of four 18-hole designs at the barton creek resort, was built on an undulating site that causes the route to change elevation multiple times during a round, and it celebrated its silver anniversary in 2011.

The course is described as âĢľa demanding track with a healthy dose of high-octane holes, but still some less exciting tests to keep things in balanceâĢĿ by daniel wexler in the american private golf club guide.

Par threes on the downhill 3rd and the 175-yard 9th, which is surrounded by a gorge and a waterfall, are notable holes. The round concludes with a challenging par five on the back nine, where the approach shot must be hit to a elevated green that lies above an imposing ravine.
