One of Horseshoe Bay Resort’s more popular signature golf events returns on Oct. 28 at 10 a.m., when four decorated professional golfers with a combined 17 wins on the PGA and LPGA Tours (including one major) face off in the Fifth Annual Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort on the private, Summit Rock course.
The 10-hole exhibition match will feature LPGA stars Gerina Mendoza and Angela Stanford and multiple-time winners from the PGA Tour, Bob Estes and Nick Watney, competing on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Gallery members are welcome to take part in up-close viewing access at this unique event and will have a scenic walk on the dramatic, towering Summit Rock layout.
Playing along towering ridges overlooking Lake LBJ and plummeting through lush valleys and primitive limestone beds, this quintessential Texas Hill Country course is unquestionably the fifth star of The Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort and the upcoming episode of Golf Life TV that will be recorded during the event and aired all over the United States later this fall.
“The Shootout is a can’t-miss event for resort guests and members and the perfect weekend to play the Slick Rock, Apple Rock and Ram Rock courses then watch the pros take on each other the thrilling Summit Rock course,” says Horseshoe Bay Resort’s Golf general manager Anthony Holder. “Seeing these players up close, you will gain a whole new appreciation for their talent and shot making.’’
2002 PGA Championship winner Rich Beem will play host, along with Holder. Beem also will take part in the Golf Life TV coverage.
The Shootout at Horseshoe Bay Resort will be a 10-hole, two-team, match-play event. All guests staying at Horseshoe Bay Resort that weekend will have access to watch all the live golf action on Summit Rock.
Horseshoe Bay Resort is one of America’s largest golf resorts and is the original Texas lakeside resort destination. It is located 45 minutes from Austin on more than 7,000 acres of the Texas Hill Country and along the spectacular shores of constant-level Lake LBJ. The AAA Four Diamond resort is the only waterfront resort in Texas and is part of the Crescent Hotels & Resorts management company’s distinguished Latitudes lifestyle hotels and resorts division.
It features golf courses designed by World Golf Hall of Fame members Robert Trent Jones Sr, and Nicklaus, as well as the 18-hole natural grass Whitewater Putting Course.
Horseshoe Bay Resort has invested more than $100 million in a property-wide renovation and new construction. The work included new guest rooms, suites, and multi-room units, as well as renovation of the golf courses and facilities, dining experiences, meeting spaces, and more. The resort also features a world-class spa and health club, tennis facilities with 14 courts, bike rentals, hiking trails, lake activities with a full-service lake marina and boat valet service, nearby wineries, and a private airport.
