Slick Rock Golf Course

Horseshoe Bay, Texas, USATexas Hill Country

Slick Rock Golf Course in Horseshoe Bay, Texas delivers an 18-hole championship layout that blends open fairways with strategic hazards amid the Hill Country’s natural contours. Known for its signature ’million dollar hole’ and firm, fast conditions, the course welcomes a broad spectrum of golfers seeking challenge without undue harshness.

Course Overview

Slick Rock Golf Course, positioned on the scenic shores of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, offers an 18-hole championship experience that balances challenge with accessibility. This semi-private course expands across gently rolling terrain, where open fairways give way to strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens that reward both precision and thoughtful strategy. The landscape reflects Central Texas’s unique blend of rugged beauty and refined design, with signature holes that test every facet of a player's game without overwhelming less-experienced golfers.

The front nine stretches through residential areas, introducing players to a variety of hole types with fairways that invite controlled aggression and well-laid targets. As the round progresses, the back nine elevates in both elevation and excitement, culminating at the famous 14th hole, known as the "million dollar hole".

The finishing holes stand out for their thoughtful layout, with the 18th presenting a rewarding opportunity to close out with a strong precision play.

Playability is a strong suit at Slick Rock, with conditions praised for firm, fast fairways and complex greens that invite risk-taking yet reward finesse. The course welcomes players from a range of skill levels; while more demanding than a typical resort course, it remains approachable for mid to low handicappers seeking variety without excessive punishment. Walking the course is encouraged, with well-maintained paths and moderate elevation changes lending themselves to a satisfying yet manageable stroll.

Off the course, Slick Rock's clubhouse and practice facilities offer an inviting environment. The pro shop and staff provide professional and friendly service that enhances the overall experience. After a round, the on-site Slick Rock Grill is a favored spot to relax, serving up hearty fare including their signature burger, which has become something of a local legend.

Overall, Slick Rock Golf Course stands as a refined destination blending natural Texan landscape with thoughtful design and warm hospitality, ideal for players intent on enjoying a memorable day on the links with a touch of Texas charm.

Beautiful conditions! Firm and fast greens and fairways both days we played Slick Rock. The course is fairly open with a number of different types of holes on the front and back 9. The front 9 winds through more housing, while the back 9 climbs a bit culminating in the waterfall, million dollar hole on 14. Don't sleep on 18 either. Everyone from the starters (one feom the OK panhandle) to the range director, to the assistant pro to the head pro, Jacob Luttrell were friendly and welcoming. After a tough round on the narrow Apple Rock in the wind, we did not want to play our last round there as well. The reservations team and Head Pro were able to fit us in on Friday. Scored well both days and loved the clubhouse. The locker rooms are well appointed and much like your typical club. Shoutout to the golf staff!

Excellent course to play. Superb conditions and top notch service by all staff. Friendly and eager to help without being pushy. Course is gorgeous, and cannot stress the quality of the course. Not a tough layout, but be prepared for smooth rolling greens. Lots of bunkers but nothing tricky about any of the layout. A must play for any golf fan.

I write this review mainly for the Slick Rock Grill restaurant. It's a casual yet well-kept cafe that has one of the best burgers. The decor is non-existent, but is more ergonomic for dining rather than decorative. The service might have a slight wait, but it's worth every minute. They are known for their Slick Rock Burger; a delicious item that pleases golfers, tourists, etc. It has a nice presentation that seems timeless, and could be seen now or 60 years before. I ordered the Slick Rock Burger, and it tasted delicious and filling. The burger came with a side of fries that were well- seasoned, and a kosher pickle. I give Slick Rock a 3.5 because it makes up it's quality with it's cusine.

Course is pretty. Starter is RUDE. 7:47 he rolls by saying “I’ll be here at 8!” in an awful tone as if we asked him for something. No hello, good morning… nothing. Nice way to start our day.

Amazing experience Dec 30th. Great check in, pro shop, and starter. Nice warm up area before we got started. No one in front or behind the whole round. Perfect course conditions. Greens are very complex. Putting killed my round. Wonder round at Slick Rock. How about that million dollar hole?!?! Beautiful place. Thank you! Highly recommend.
