Tranquility Lives at White Bluff Resort
Anticipation of the course may quicken your heart rate, but catching sight of the surroundings to this jewel located along 4 miles of limestone bluffs on Lake Whitney, will only serve to slow you down and bring you back into the beauty and tranquility of nature. From the tastefully simple yet elegant, wide entrance, through miles of narrow roads lined with wilderness – natural artwork, you’ll be surrounded by a Texas Hill Country resort at its best.
Along the road, you are just as likely to see deer as one of the homes, many hidden among the trees. You might also encounter wild turkey, a coyote or, less often, a bobcat. Hawks ride the thermals above and more than 200 species of birds have been identified in the area. Nature’s beauty is around every corner.
The lake air is fresh and is often scented by Juniper, which is plentiful. Older live oak create natural artwork, their gnarly limbs reaching out across the ground.
It’s hard to believe as you look around, that behind the trees lie two challenging and beautifully maintained 18 hole championship golf courses. You’ll think you’re a million miles from the city, yet these very reasonably priced Texas Hill Country resort, semi-private golf courses are rated 4-star by Golf Digest.
The resort amenities are marked by stunning landscaping, much redone in the past year. Just as impressive is the lush green of the natural surroundings. The Old Course and The New Course as they are named, were designed in the 90’s to preserve the hundreds of hardwood trees now lining the fairways.
You’ll certainly experience tranquility looking off the back porch of the clubhouse over the New Course. Views of deer are a bonus and almost guaranteed – no extra charge!
Limestone cliffs rim Lake Whitney. This same limestone extends back from the shore under the soil forming the foundation for this 3450 acre Texas Hill Country resort. Outcroppings of the white stone can be seen throughout where the dirt has worn away. And, keeping with the area’s natural beauty, limestone has been used for signs and bridges and is also carried inside to create beautiful fireplaces and other natural finishes.
Many homes in this peaceful community are built along the bluffs. Lake traffic is lighter due to limited building on the lake, which adds to the serenity of the area. Boating, fishing and diving in the clear water are popular, but best of all the lake has to offer are her magnificent sunsets. As your day closes, may you be lucky enough to catch one.
Of course, if you live here, you get to experience nature and its awesome bounty every day. Think about that!
