Prowess with the driver is a plus for a good round of golf, as Palmer's course is a big-hitter's delight. Professional golfers rate Palmer's design among the "Top Ten Texas Courses" and consider Lakeside to have the best Champions Bermuda greens in the State. A cascading waterfall and native flora highlight Lakeside's signature 11th hole, a magnificent par-three. The par-five 12th and par-four 13th holes are both doglegs left with sloping fairways that reward any player who can "turn the ball over and take it deep.

"Barton Creek Resort has shown a strong commitment to this environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course property," said Joellen Zeh, staff ecologist for the Cooperative Sanctuary System. "To reach certification, a course must demonstrate that they maintain a high degree of environmental quality in a number of areas."
