Horseshoe Bay & Lake LBJ

Land at the resort, then golf or the lake.

Horseshoe Bay Resort has its own airport, so you can taxi in and be at the pool or on the first tee within minutes. The resort sits on Lake LBJ in the Highland Lakes west of Austin, with three Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf courses, a white-sand lake beach, boats and a spa. Spend a morning on the water, visit the caverns and spring bluebonnets around Marble Falls, and have pie at the Blue Bonnet Cafe.
