About Escondido Golf & Lake Club

Escondido Golf & Lake Club is a member-owned private golf and lake club nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country on the shores of Lake LBJ in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. More than a club, Escondido is a community — one built around authentic connections, world-class golf, and a way of life where every detail is thoughtfully considered and every experience feels like home.

Our Tom Fazio-designed course is consistently recognized as one of the Top 10 in Texas, and our culinary program is a cornerstone of the Escondido Experience — where casual family meals meet fine cuisine and a lauded wine culture. We are guided by our Five E's: Excellence, Efficiency, Ethics, Exceptional Safety, and Extraordinary Service. Where Above Meets Beyond.
