Located 25 miles west of Barton Creek, the Palmer Lakeside Course is a hidden hilltop retreat. Open for play since 1986, the Arnold Palmer/Ed Seay design is considered by many to be one of the best courses in Texas with phenomenal views of Lake Travis. Ranked by The Dallas Morning News as one of the "18 most beautiful in Texas," the eleventh hole -- a magnificent par three with a cascading waterfall -- alone is worth the 30-minute drive.
