Summit Rock Golf Course
Summit Rock Golf Course blends the rugged beauty of Texas Hill Country with a finely tuned 18-hole layout that challenges golfers across all levels. This private course offers slick, fast greens and thoughtfully contoured fairways with stunning elevation changes, wrapped by attentive service and walking-friendly amenities.
Course Overview
Located in the rolling hills of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, Summit Rock Golf Course presents a challenging yet rewarding 18-hole championship layout designed to engage golfers of all skill levels. This private, members-only course combines striking hill country vistas with meticulous conditioning that elevates every round into a memorable experience. As players traverse the course, each hole offers distinct contours and elevation changes that demand thoughtful club selection and precise shot execution.
Summit Rock embodies a balance between natural terrain and strategic design, with fairways that wind through native grasses and hardwoods. The undulating greens, noted for being both slick and smooth, require careful reading and deliberate pace control, testing putting skills without feeling unfair. Bunkers of soft, white sand guard several greens, adding both visual contrast and tactical variety. Some elevation shifts create dramatic hole presentations while framing the expansive views of the Texas Hill Country, lending a quiet sense of place throughout the round.
Playability at Summit Rock appeals broadly: the routing offers risk-reward opportunities that challenge lower handicaps while remaining approachable for mid and high handicappers who respect the course’s careful maintenance and layout. The presence of comfort cottages on the course enhances walking rounds by providing well-placed rest points and water stations, encouraging players to engage directly with the terrain. The clubhouse and practice facilities complement the course with attentive, professional service that ensures every visit runs smoothly.
Golfers planning a trip will appreciate the walking-friendly policy supported by quality cart paths and well-maintained trails. Given the hilly nature of the landscape, sturdy footwear is advisable. Reservations require member sponsorship, reflecting the exclusive nature of this Texas Hill Country gem. While recent reviews mention a few isolated turf issues on greens, ongoing renovations aim to maintain Summit Rock’s reputation as a premium private venue where natural beauty and precision golf merge seamlessly.

Played 10/6/23 2 HCP Pace of Play 4:15 Great layout with beautiful hill country views. Challenging but fair, every hole is memorable. Pro shop and staff were kind. Greens were shaggy and dead in a handful of spots. For a $245 tee time, greens have to be better, especially in October. Cart died on 14th hole.

Outstanding experience! Incredible staff. Comfort cottages on the course were very accommodating. Course was in great shape for late winter golf. Greens were slick, smooth, and consistent. Can’t wait to come back and play after the bunker renovation!
