Golf on Lake Whitney operates on its own terms. The reservoir — one of the largest in central Texas — shapes everything about White Bluff's New Course: the prevailing winds that roll off the water without warning, the dramatic elevation changes along the bluffs above the shoreline, and the sense that you're playing well outside the reach of the Dallas–Fort Worth sprawl roughly 90 miles to the north. This is destination golf for people who want distance from the city as much as they want a round.
White Bluff is a private resort and residential community, and the New Course is the second of 2 layouts on the property. That setup tends to attract members and guests who are serious enough about the game to spend a weekend here rather than a quick afternoon.
Central Texas in summer is unforgiving — heat and wind are the real hazards — but fall and spring stretches can produce some of the finest playing conditions in the state, when the Hill Country fringe feels wide open and unhurried.
