Type Semi-Private
Par 32

Slope N/A
Rating N/A

Often overshadowed by the high-dollar resorts and new championship layouts, Blue Lake is one of the lesser-known gems of the Highland Lake area. Exuding the old-school charm of its course designer, the crusty Jimmy Burke, this scenic track is loaded with wildlife and is generally a joy to play because of its simplicity.

Burke’s par 32 layout consists of five par 3s, three par 4s, and only one par 5. There are no bunkers or water hazards. The course weaves in and out of a quaint housing community, and a few elevated tees offer views of Lake LBJ.

Notable holes include the 365-yard par 4 with out-of-bounds looming left and trees on the right, and the par 3 16th, which plays almost 200 yards.

Two sets of tees make for an 18-hole round, andyou can pay once and play all day.

Getting there : From Hwy. 71 west, turn right on Blue Lake Deer Haven Dr., then drive 2 miles north to the course.

Short game needed.

Nice little course tucked away by horseshoe bay that has some great deer to keep you company. Course is challenging and has a lot of slopes and hills requiring some great shots, short game must be dead on to hit par. Great course for the price and staff was friendly and not pushy, even told us where to put the cart key when done.

Quick and cheap

At the price you probably cannot beat the deal. The course was in seasonal change so it was a little rough. A good cheap way to kill a few hours. a good course for a beginner that wants more than a par 3 course but is not up for a full size course

Excellent Short Course

Hidden treasure. Short course, narrow fairways and small greens = you must have a really good short game. Most approach shots are 6, 7 or even 9 or pitching wedge for long ball hitter. You must be accurate with your short game. Green a bit slow but hold the ball well.(Go play a round a see).

Very nice 9 hole course!

Short course, great if you want to get in a quick 9 or 18. Hidden away. Greens are small, so you have to be accurate.

Not as easy as you think...

With very tiny greens and 3 par 3's at 185 yards plus it's a challenging short course. The good news it's hard to lose a ball, the bad news is you might have a 130 yard shot on a side hill lie to a penny size green. Not to be taken for granted. Enjoyed a bunch with very fast pace of play and friendly staff.

a good challenge for me.

This course was in good shape. It's in the hills so it has a lot of lies that are above or below the your feet. Also, a lot of trees come into play.
