Discover thoughtfully crafted keepsakes from local artisans, experience the energy of its creative community, and savor a seasonal showcase from Omni’s chefs, inspired by the region and the people who define it.

TEXAS VS. ALABAMA VS. OKLAHOMA

In the South, rivalry is a language all its own— echoing through stadiums, passed down through generations, and perhaps, brought to life over fire. At SMOKE: A Celebration of Fire & Flavor, that rivalry takes on new form. This elevated culinary weekend brings together the barbecue traditions of Texas, Oklahoma, and Alabama—three regions where pride runs as deep as the smoke itself , in true SEC spirit.

Here, the competition is as real as the craft –less about touchdowns, more about technique. Michelin-recognized chefs and world champion pitmasters step into the open air to represent their home. From intimate, multi-course dinners with curated pairings to a lively open-air tasting, guests move from pit to pit, sampling, comparing, and choosing sides.

It’s a celebration of Southern barbecue , where every plate tells a story—and every guest becomes part of the rivalry.

Celebrate America’s 250th year in the making.

RED, WHITE & BLUE BBQ

JUL 3

There’s something unmistakably nostalgic about a Texas summer evening set to the rhythm of live country music, the scent of slow-smoked barbecue in the air, and a sky that seems to stretch endlessly into dusk.

This year’s Red, White & Blue BBQ leans into that timeless Fourth of July spirit, celebrating America’s 250th with classic traditions and nostalgic moments. As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts from an easygoing BBQ feast, to an electric live performance by Neal McCoy.

His long-standing patriotism, shaped in part by 15 USO tours, and commitment to charitable work add an authenticity that resonates far beyond the music, making his performance a fitting centerpiece for the holiday weekend. The evening builds to a spectacular fireworks finale, lighting up the Hill Country sky in a moment that feels both celebratory and timeless.

Your front-row seat to a night that’s anything but ordinary—where fireworks come with a side of flair. Settle into premium seating, savor curated bites, and soak in an effortlessly unhurried atmosphere, just in time for Neal McCoy’s performance before the sky steals the show.

MOVIES ON THE LAWN | JULY 4

An outdoor movie on the lawn brings to mind the simple charm of a childhood summer evening. Blankets spread across the lawn, popcorn passed between friends, and the sun setting over the Hill Country create a setting that captures the timeless spirit of summer in America. On July 4th, The Sandlot begins at 8:45 pm, a fitting choice for the occasion. With its easy humor and coming-of-age charm, the film reflects a sense of all-American nostalgia that pairs naturally with a night under the stars.

? Which Course is Your Favorite

FAZIO CANYONS | FAZIO FOOTHILLS | COORE CRENSHAW | PALMER LAKESIDE

FAZIO CANYONS

Tom Fazio's award-winning Canyons course stretches 7,433 yards through stately Red Oaks and Sycamores, with spectacular Hill Country views and the bubbling limestone bed of Short Springs Branch winding throughout. The 561-yard par-5 finishing hole rivals any in Texas. As the first resort course in the state certified an Audubon International Signature Sanctuary, Canyons embodies the Fazio trademark of preserving the land it celebrates. Fazio Canyon’s will be home to the first ever Good Good Championship PGA Tour event in November 2026.

FAZIO FOOTHILLS

Named among Golfweek's Best Courses You Can Play in Texas, Fazio Foothills is the resort's signature track, a "roller-coaster ride through the Texas Hill Country (without the screaming)," per Golf Channel's Matt Ginella. Elevated tee boxes drop into fairways framed by cliffs, creeks, and waterfalls. At 7,125 yards with small TifEagle greens, undulating aprons, and grass bunkers, the Fazio Foothills course is a true shot-maker's paradise.

COORE CRENSHAW CLIFFSIDE

When two-time Masters champion and Austin native Ben Crenshaw partnered with architect Bill Coore, he held to his philosophy that "the best architect is nature." This forgiving-yet-challenging layout features wide fairways framed by dense trees and massive, undulating Champion Hybrid Bermuda greens. The dramatic 18th delivers a thrilling climax, a slightly uphill approach across a running creek to a low-lying green seemingly etched into the hillside.

PALMER LAKESIDE

Perched high above Lake Travis in Spicewood, Texas and recetnly renovated, Palmer Lakeside is a secluded hilltop retreat designed for confident, long hitters. Arnold Palmer’s layout features dramatic elevation changes, sweeping panoramic views, and a rare drive-through bunker that delivers a truly memorable moment. The iconic par-3 11th, set beside a cascading waterfall and native flora, is among the most photographed holes in Texas, making every round visually unforgettable from tee to green.

CELEBRATING WOMEN IN GOLF

THE TRADITION OF GOLF IS ENRICHED BY THE WOMEN WHO SHAPE AND ELEVATE THE GAME

At Omni Barton Creek, Golf Pros Julia Moss and Gabby Rosales are part of that legacy, while also helping to shape a future of golf. For them, golf is more than a sport, it’s a lifelong pursuit grounded in purpose and connection.

Julia’s journey began at just two years old, eventually leading her to compete by age ten. Over the years, she developed both discipline and a deep appreciation for the challenges golf presents. Inspired by players like Brooke Henderson and Nelly Korda, she continues to refine her game while helping others do the same. One of her proudest achievements came early in her collegiate career, earning First Team All-Conference honors as a freshman. Today, at Barton Creek’s Fazio Canyons course, she enjoys connecting with players of all skill levels and encouraging them to embrace the process of learning the game.

JULIA MOSS

Gabby’s introduction to golf came at age 13 with a gift from her godmother, a moment that sparked a 22-year journey in the sport. Inspired by Annika Sörenstam, she built her career on perseverance and achievement, including becoming the first golfer at her alma mater to win a university conference championship. Since joining Barton Creek in 2020, she has become known for fostering camaraderie and creating a welcoming, competitive environment. Her advice to golfers is simple: you can never practice putting enough.

Together, Julia and Gabby share a common belief that golf is a game for anyone willing to learn and grow.
