Texas Hill Country is made up of lakes, spring-fed rivers and rolling hills, creating some of the most beautiful landscape in central Texas. River rafts, canoes and sailboats are as much a part of daily life as cowboy boots.
The bloom of spring wildflowers tuns the green hills into a breathtaking sight. The state capital in Austin is a perfect place to begin exploring Hill Country. In addition to the natural beauty of the area, small communities steeped in European tradition offer a great source of antique shopping and wonderful cuisine.
While the Prairies & Lakes area is home to miles of grassy prairies and lovely lakes, this description belies the excitement to be found in the cities that anchor this part of the state - Dallas, Fort Worth and the surrounding communities known as "The Metroplex". Visitors can find exciting nightlife, outstanding cultural arts museums, symphonies, ballet and more shopping centres per
capita than anywhere else in the United States. Sports buffs and families of all types will enjoy the area's many professional sports teams and amusement parks. South of The Metroplex visitors will find numerous lakes and rivers, perfect for water skiing and other outdoor recreation. Venture south to find even more lakes and rivers through Saldo and down into Bastrop. The terrain of Prairies & Lakes region differs greatly throughout, allowing golfers to experience a diverse collection of golf course design.
