About the club
Crenshaw Cliffside, completed in 1991, was just the second course Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw completed and represents the last project they'd work on in relative obscurity: soon after they began piecing together Sand Hills, no. 8 on America's 100 Greatest Courses, creating a wave of minimalism and big natural courses that has yet to abate. Though not on property particularly suited to good golf, Crenshaw Cliffside has all the hallmarks of what has made the architects' courses at once revolutionary and nuanced: large, heavily contoured greens that feel subtle; bunkers that have some of the most detailed edging in the game; a sense of elegance and restraint in the construction; and the discipline to take what the land gives, yeilding unconventional sequences like huge back-to-back par 5s along the edge of a river ravine followed by a pitch-shot par 3 into a shallow thumbnail green. Golfers tend to think more highly of Omni Barton Creek's two Tom Fazio-designed courses, Fazio Canyons and Fazio Foothills, and gravitate toward the flash and aesthetics of those designs. Each are listed among the top 40 in Texas's Best in State ranking, while Crenshaw Cliffside is not. Those who enjoy the work of Coore and Crenshaw, on the other hand, appreciate that the architecture takes the opportunities that were presented and works with them, creating a tight, connected layout that's different than it's peers but rhythmic and riveting in its own way.

Wonderful, deeply relaxing stay at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa. The spa is excellent — sauna, steam room, cold plunge, hot tub, ladies-only and co-ed relaxation lounges, plus a café. Phones aren’t allowed, which makes it truly peaceful. I had an 80-minute massage with Diana and completely drifted off — absolute success. Robes, slippers, lockers, and showers are all provided. As an Omni Select member, Wi-Fi was free and I received two drink tickets, which I used at Velvet Joe’s. My King room overlooked the golf course and pool and felt very serene. I was also able to get a late checkout which allowed me to sleep in a little longer. Overall 9/10 (I suggest more in-room dining dessert options) — I’d definitely return for a longer stay. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

I was visiting a friend in The Fairways and it was suggested that I walk around the grounds of the hotel. I did. It was Christmas time. Just beautiful. The decorations were spectacular and it just felt like Christmas there. Grounds were immaculate. People were friendly. I took some cool pictures inside and found the decor right up my alley. I did not feel like an intruder. Just a spectator allowed to enjoy Omni’s beauty. So when in Austin and you want to splurge, visit and stay at this amazing hotel.

The grounds are breathtaking, you honestly feel like you're in Europe 🇪🇺 😉 Great service 👏 all around Dont skip the pancakes at Texas Spice they are legendary Clean , immaculate facilities. There is an infinity pool with spectacular views of Austin hill country! We will be back for sure. This was my first stay at Omni Hotels, I couldn't be more pleased, which is why I signed up as a member!
