Horseshoe Bay is located in Central Texas, approximately 45 miles from Austin. The bay is on the south side of 23 mile long Lake LBJ. The constant level of the lake makes it an excellent destination for those looking to go fishing or boating. Horseshoe Bay prides itself on being a resort area featuring 3 golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Combined with the landscaped, 18-hole putting course these facilities make up the largest golf complex in the country. The area also features a country club, pro shops, tennis courts and a recreation center. There is also a yacht club, and, for those planning a large gathering, a conference center. The marina features full-service maintenance, a dry dock, and boat and jet-ski rentals.
