The natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country is the focus of course architects, Ben Crenshaw and partner, Bill Coore. Rolling hills, natural plateaus, soft contours and native vegetation are harmoniously woven into a playable championship layout that provides a variety of interesting holes to delight members and visitors alike. Austin's well-known native son, Ben Crenshaw, admits his is an old-style philosophy. "We believe the best architect is nature and the best players' courses make good use of the natural terrain. We let the land dictate the routing rather than imposing ourselves on the landscape." Indeed, Crenshaw's Cliffside course plays across the land quite naturally and most magically.

The 7,153-yard, par-72 Fazio Canyons is the second masterpiece and is located just two miles from the resort and has its own pro shop and extensive practice areas. This is also the location of the Chuck Cook Golf Academy. The course offers numerous scenic holes lined with stately red oaks and sycamore trees and features spectacular Hill Country views of Short Springs Branch, a beautiful limestone bed creek which meanders throughout the course. The 561-yard, par-5 finishing hole is tremendous and by all accounts rivals Barton Creek's existing No. 18 on the Foothills course. Additionally, the design and construction of the new course embody a Fazio trademark of protecting and preserving the environment.
