The recipe isn’t complicated. A few good friends. Some fine food and drink. An awesome resort in a spectacular setting. And to ice the cake? Multiple great courses — four would be fantastic! — to truly take your buddies’ golf trip over the top. Welcome to Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa.
Located just 10 miles west of downtown Austin in a stunning swath of Texas Hill Country, Omni Barton Creek boasts four fabulous courses designed by renowned architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Fazio (two courses), making the “foursome” on offer at Barton Creek a memorable one.
The PGA Tour must think so too. Next month, the Fazio Canyons Course will be the host venue for the 2026 Austin Championship on Nov. 12-15, which means the best golfers in the world get to take on 18 stunning holes featuring a lovely limestone-framed creek that meanders throughout the layout. It’s often considered the property’s showstopper — and ranked 20th on GOLF’s list of the best courses in Texas — and now you’ll get a chance to see it through your TV (at least until you play it yourself).
While golf is certainly the main entree on any buddies’ golf trip, the finishing touches are also a key factor. And at Omni Barton Creek, guests can expect exceptional add-ons at every turn. Spacious pools and patios overlooking the rolling hills, multiple gourmet dining options, a world-class spa, an award-winning golf academy and luxurious accommodations will ensure every “buddy” on your trip is, well, as happy as a clam.

There is also another exciting new accommodation option at Omni Barton Creek that your group may want to consider. Ideal for larger groups and families, Resort Homes at Barton Creek is the ultimate option if your group prefers a completely private setting — with all the bells and whistles — in a luxurious estate home. The homes that are part of this customizable program vary in size, amenities and location, but wherever you hang your hat at Barton Creek, exceptional service and top-tier touches are always included.
Another unique element of Omni Barton Creek is the fact that, as good as this resort is for elite and fully-customized buddies’ trips, multi-generational family golf getaways are equally as appealing. In other words, thanks to an exhaustive list of family programs, adventures and opportunities, Omni Barton Creek is a kid-friendly oasis where every generation can find their sweet spot. A few highlights include a great mini golf course, complimentary s’mores nightly, three family pools and splash park, free arcade and a bounce house.
From the breathtaking White Mountains in New Hampshire to the white-sand beaches of Amelia Island — and, of course, the white limestone creeks and canyons of Texas Hill Country — Omni resorts are situated in some of the best golf terrain in America. Those superior settings, upscale service levels and awesome amenities are a trademark of every Omni property.
But don’t take our word for it. Go find out for yourself.
