Hyatt Hill Country Golf Club, San Antonio

It's easy to see that Texas Hill Country inspired the 27 holes at Hyatt Hill Country Golf Club. All three nine-hole sides—The Oaks, The Lakes, and The Creeks—sprawl across 200 acres of treed ravines, steep elevation changes, and water hazards. And all were designed by renowned architect and apparent landscape lover Arthur Hills. This championship-length trio is also accompanied by a shorter nine, the Family Express course, whose shorter distances and fewer hazards encourage youngsters and novices to take up the game and get out under the country sky.
