Horseshoe Bay Resort, a premier golf destination in the Central Texas Hill Country and part of the Crescent Hotels & Resorts Latitudes collection, has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of the “50 Best Golf Destinations for Women.”
“As more women join the game — 800,000 from 2019 to 2023, according to the National Golf Foundation — more realize one of the greatest experiences for any golfer is gathering your friends and taking your collective love of golf on the road,” said Keely Levins, assistant editor of Golf Digest. “To help you and your friends plan your next great golf trip, we talked to women golfers and instructors across the country to curate this list of 50 destinations in the United States that would all make a great choice for a women’s golf trip.”
To create this list, the Golf Digest editorial team consulted its female teachers and course-ranking panelists, who recommended the best American golf resorts for women. The results were thoroughly researched and vetted, ensuring the list features diverse and unique experiences, catering to various preferences – from dedicated golf trips to those that mix in spa visits, dining, and other activities.
The article specifically singled out the new Cap Rock Golf Academy at Horseshoe Bay Resort, as well: “The golf school offers half and full-day instruction options, which will be bolstered by the completion of its new golf academy building. The 3,000-square-foot academy will feature indoor and outdoor hitting bays and will be completed at the end of 2024. Located on Lake LBJ, this resort offers boat rentals for a fun post-golf activity.”
Anthony Holder, director of golf operations at Horseshoe Bay Resort, says “To be recognized by Golf Digest as a top golf resort destination for women says a lot about our vision for making Horseshoe Bay Resort the kind of golfing experience anyone can enjoy, and also reflects the friendliness and culture-building aspects that shine here thanks to the great female members we have. Horseshoe Bay Resort is a fun and engaging place for women, both on and off the golf course. We’re seeing more women booking group trips here because they can enjoy great golf along with lake activities, pickleball, tennis, spa and tremendous dining and exploration around the area. Central Texas is one of the country’s great unsung winery destinations and people love adding the winery trail to their agenda when they visit Horseshoe Bay Resort.”
Conveniently located just an hour northwest of Austin, Horseshoe Bay Resort offers easy access by air or land.

These courses have recently undergone upgrades and improvements to enhance the golfing experience. Additionally, the newly renovated Whitewater Putting Course offers a fun, 18-hole, par-72 Zoysia grass putting experience, complete with tropical landscaping, sand traps, and flowing water hazards, perfect for guests of all ages.
