Picture this: You’re sipping on an ice-cold beverage, lounging by a waterfront pool under the summer sun. You’re teeing up for a round of golf on a world-class course. You’re getting a relaxing massage at a luxurious spa. This is just a glimpse of the different experiences available to members of The Club at Horseshoe Bay Resort, a premiere club located in the scenic Texas Lake and Hill Country (just an hour away from Austin).

Nestled along the shores of Lake LBJ, this idyllic setting combines extraordinary recreational and social activities for Texans to enjoy. Not convinced? Here’s a deeper look at the wide offering of luxe amenities at “the Hamptons of Austin:"

⛳ Get active

Play like a pro on one of the club’s championships golf courses or tennis courts. In June, the first Mouratoglou Tennis Academy (aka an elite tennis training center) will open in the US at Horseshoe Bay Resort. Looking for something slightly different? Try your hand at pickleball or nighttime glow putt.

The more adventurous can hop into a Ford Bronco for an Off-Roadeo Experience through Hill Country. With an endless supply of rocks to climb, hills to jump, and waterways to slog through, there’s no better way to experience the Texas outdoors than from the driver’s seat of a Bronco.

From the editor

I don’t follow the Austin Spurs for tech tips, so I was surprised to learn from the team’s page that you can layer emojis on iPhone. I tried it and it works, so that’s just another reason to support our local G-League.
