Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Golf Course | Fredericksburg TX
Located within Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, minutes from Main Street and its array of shops, restaurants and tasting rooms, Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course is the one spot you cannot afford to miss on your next adventure to Fredericksburg, TX. Whether it's a “girls' weekend”, a golf trip with your favorite foursome, a family RV adventure, or simply passing through town, stop in and allow us to show you why we have been a Hill Country favorite for over fifty years.
Playing at just over 6,600 yards, "Lady Bird" will delight and challenge golfers of all skill levels with its meandering layout and manicured turf. Lady Bird returns one to the easier times, when golf was made to walk and enjoy time in nature. While the front nine features significant elevation changes and the flowing Live Oak Creek, the back nine stuns with its panoramic vistas of the surrounding Hill Country. Strolling along the fairways of Lady Bird, the only “slow groups” you will encounter will be the roaming herd of white tail deer or the gaggle of geese that reside on property.
The front nine features rolling terrain, with plenty of up-and-down play. #4 is a masterful recreation of the famous Redan hole in Scotland. Golfers will need to carry bunkers guarding the green. #6 is a signature Par 3 that stretches 194 yards, part of it over Live Oak Creek.
The back nine, while flatter, offers challenges of a different kind, including a wide array of bunkers. #14 is the last Par 5 on the course, stretching 616 yards from the back tees. Its double dogleg requires precise shot placement. #16 is considered a signature hole by many. Water will grab anything that comes up short, but you can bail out to the left. In short, you’ll find plenty to test your shot-making skills while enjoying the gorgeous Hill Country landscape.

Tournament Reviews
A wonderful course that captures the beauty of the surrounding landscape. It's truly a hidden gem that more golfers need to experience. The entire staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our outing. The course was in excellent shape and the added bunkers were well placed. Most approach shots rewarded accurate placement without making it unreasonable for average golfers. The green were deceptively quick and true. I try to play a new course once or twice a month but I will return to play this one again and probably again after that.

My family and I had a great time today playing golf today. The best thing was that all staff welcomed my two young girls 5 and 9 playing a round of golf. They had a great time seeing all the great wildlife on the course. We had a delious lunch at the turn. The chef even made my daughter a special pizza that was not on the menu. Course was in great condition. Price is very reasonable. Will come back again. Thanks Lady Bird Johnson Golf Course for a great experience.
