Length: 6,686 yards

Par: 71

Rating/Slope: 72.2/127

Originally a nine-hole course known as “Live Oak” in 1969, Lady Bird Golf Course is a public course and has went through a renovation in 1991 to expand to 18 holes and further elevated by a $2 million renovation in 2012, it now features redesigned fairways, extended tees, and updated greens. The course has a unique water hazard flowing through it being a river affecting holes two, three, six, nine, and 10. Other water hazards in the form of small lakes are on the course and give a good challenge because you can’t fully relax when you’re on vacation in the countryside.
