Tournament and Course Notes for the Austin Championship
- We have a new tournament and a new course on the PGA TOUR
- The Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa (Fazio Canyons) is a Par 72 that measures 7,451 yards
- Tom Fazio designed it in 1999, and it was Golfweek’s #1 course in Texas in 2002
- The 2022 renovation was meant to get it ready for the PGA TOUR. It started as a bunker project and became a 7-month, $5 million rebuild
- This is a resort course, so it was built to be playable for everyone, with generous fairways and large greens
- The course was built through limestone canyons and features big elevation changes and a creek that winds through 6 holes
- It sounds like they want it to play as a mid-scoring course, but I expect it to be on the easier side of scoring, especially since this is the first year on TOUR
- The fairways are 38 yards wide on average and range from 25 to 55 yards at 300 yards out
- Many fairways sit at 45-degree angles and narrow in spots, which means Driving Distance might not play a huge factor this week
- With carries over canyons, steep drop-offs, tree-lined fairways, and water in play on 6 holes, big misses might be penalized here
- Approach play is always important, and many are calling this a second-shot golf course
- There are only 42 bunkers on the property, and the rough sounds like it is very playable
- The greens feature bermudagrass and are large, so I expect the Greens in Regulation rate to be high
- Expect a lot of long iron shots this week. All four Par 3s are long, five of the Par 4s are over 440 yards, and there are four Par 5s
