The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Golfers describe Slick Rock as the friendliest of the resort’s three RTJ Sr. courses, with flatter tee shots, more room to miss, and water visible on most holes. The 14th hole waterfall (the Million Dollar Hole) is the keepsake everyone mentions, and the newer clubhouse gets credit too.
Consistently praised
- Reviewers single it out as the right start for a multi-day trip or for mixed-ability groups.
- The waterfall par 5 lives up to the hype as a genuine Hill Country signature.
Worth knowing
- Older bones than its siblings, some reviewers find a few greens dated next to renovated Apple Rock.
Golfers recommend
- Distance control into mid-sized greens matters more than length off the tee.
- Walk-up tee at the waterfall hole, budget time for photos behind the group.
