The setting of Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa is the stuff of Old West dreams. It's an area of towering mesas, endless plains, and the winding Rio Grande, just minutes from Big Bend National Park and the Mexican border.
You can learn how to ride a horse at the Equestrian Center, learn the ins and outs of period firearms, or tour the historic center of the town of Lajitas. Of course cowboys never golfed, but you should, on the mountain and valley vistas of the 18 hole championship Black Jack's Crossing course.
The 101 rooms at the resort offer a variety of styles, from Western chic in the Cavalry Post rooms, to elegance and finery in the Boardwalk Suites. All come equipped with satellite TV, coffee makers, and robes and slippers so plush they'd make a real cowboy blush.
Chow time is a pleasure at Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa. Like the rooms, each restaurant has a different style, from the wild game and Mexican flair of Ocotillo, to the contemporary American at Candelilla Cafe.
