Course Guidelines

Tee Time and Course Guidelines

It is the intent of the Hyatt Hill Country Resort to limit these guidelines to the minimum required for the mutual enjoyment and experience of the facility by all its guests. The obligation of enforcing these guidelines for the good of all players is placed primarily in the hands of a carefully selected and trained staff whose principal responsibility is to assure you of all the courtesies, comforts and services to which you, as a guest are entitled. Further, it is the duty of all golfers to know and understand the golf rules and regulations and to cooperate with the staff in the enforcement thereof. These golf course guidelines are set and enforced by the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort in association with Hill Country Golf Club.
