Texas Hill Country golf courses: tee times & green fees 2027
Three resort golf venues carry most trips to central Texas, and only one of them will sell you a tee time without a room. TPC San Antonio, in Cibolo Canyons on the city’s northern edge, is where the PGA Tour plays the Valero Texas Open, and you reach its Oaks Course as a guest of the JW Marriott next door. Horseshoe Bay Resort, on the southern shore of Lake LBJ west of Austin, keeps its three Robert Trent Jones Sr. courses for overnight guests and members. Lost Pines Golf Club, the former Wolfdancer, lies east of Austin beside Bastrop State Park and takes public bookings online. That mix shapes the itinerary: two resort stays, with Lost Pines as the flexible round at either end. This page sets out access, costs and drive times for all three.

Which Texas Hill Country course should you book?
TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course)
The Oaks, Greg Norman’s par 72 of 7,435 yards and the Valero Texas Open’s home since 2010. Narrow oak corridors and bunkers edged like the tree canopy are the draw, and Pete Dye’s hillier Canyons Course gives you a contrasting second round.
Green fees & bookingHorseshoe Bay Resort
Slick Rock’s 14th, the Million Dollar Hole, where the path to the green crosses a 35-foot waterfall. Take the unlimited-golf package and you can add Ram Rock, the toughest of the three Jones layouts, on the same stay.
Green fees & bookingLost Pines Golf Club (formerly Wolfdancer)
Lost Pines, 20 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom. Book online with no room needed, play Arthur Hills’ ridgetop and river holes in the morning, and still make an afternoon flight home.

Lost Pines is the only one of the three with a price you can see before committing. Its online rate, cart included, was about US$159 on a mid-November weekday morning in 2026, US$209 to US$239 on Saturday mornings and as little as US$70 at twilight. The other two fold the golf into a room. TPC San Antonio quotes hotel guests by phone, and its Lone Star package for arrivals from 20 November to 31 December 2026 costs from US$569 per person sharing, covering a night, breakfast and a round. Horseshoe Bay prints no per-round fee; its packages pair golf with the room, and a US$45 nightly resort fee comes on top.
Getting around.
Two airports serve the trip. San Antonio International (SAT) is about 20 minutes from TPC San Antonio, reached via US 281 and the TPC Parkway exit. Austin-Bergstrom (AUS) suits the other two: Lost Pines is 13 miles away, roughly 20 minutes, and Horseshoe Bay 58.8 miles, about an hour along TX-71. Hire a car. Horseshoe Bay warns that rideshare drivers often cancel airport runs, and San Antonio lies around 75 miles south of Austin on I-35, where traffic adds time. One workable order is to land at SAT, stay at the JW Marriott, drive north to Lake LBJ, then finish at Lost Pines before flying out of AUS.
When to play.
Spring and autumn are the golfing seasons here, and summers are long and hot, so from June to September take the first tee times of the day. Avoid Valero Texas Open week, played on the Oaks the week before the Masters, when TPC times are scarce around late March and early April. From November the Oaks fairways are overseeded with ryegrass so the course stays green through winter. Horseshoe Bay’s courses open all year but can close for weather or maintenance, so ring 877.611.0112 for the day’s status. Lost Pines prices by demand, and in 2026 Thanksgiving week carried weekend-level morning rates.
Questions golfers ask.
Which Texas Hill Country golf resorts are open to the public?
Of these three, only Lost Pines Golf Club sells tee times to anyone through its TeeItUp booking page. TPC San Antonio is limited to members, their guests and JW Marriott guests, and Horseshoe Bay keeps golf for overnight guests and club members, to the point that golf gift cards only work for those two groups.
How much does a golf trip to the Texas Hill Country cost?
Expect about US$159 for a weekday morning at Lost Pines with a cart, or US$70 to US$85 at twilight. TPC San Antonio’s cheapest published route for late 2026 is US$569 per person sharing for one night, breakfast and a round. Horseshoe Bay publishes no per-round fee, so budget for a package that includes golf, plus US$45 a night in resort fees.
Which airport is best for Texas Hill Country golf?
Austin-Bergstrom if you are playing Horseshoe Bay and Lost Pines: Lost Pines is 20 minutes away and Horseshoe Bay about an hour. San Antonio International is the right choice for TPC San Antonio, roughly 20 minutes from the resort. Flying into one and out of the other avoids doubling back.
Can resort guests play Summit Rock or the Canyons Course?
The Canyons, yes: TPC San Antonio packages let you choose the Oaks or Pete Dye’s Canyons for each round, and the Canyons hosted a PGA Tour Champions event from 2011 to 2015. Summit Rock, Jack Nicklaus’s course at Horseshoe Bay, is for club members only; guests pick from Ram Rock, Slick Rock and Apple Rock.
How far ahead can I book tee times in the Hill Country?
JW Marriott guests can book TPC San Antonio up to 60 days ahead on 210-491-5800, and package quotes can take up to five days at busy times. Lost Pines had dates open about two and a half weeks out when checked in November 2026. At Horseshoe Bay the room booking comes first, then you reserve your rounds through the resort.
