If you’re a golfer who’s ever Googled: are golf stay and play packages worth it, here's a breakdown of everything you need to know. A golf stay and play weekend isn’t just worth it—it’s one of the best ways to enjoy the game, especially if you’re coming from Austin or anywhere in Central Texas. But it’s not just about the golf. It’s about the vibe, the convenience, and everything that happens between tee times.
Let’s break it down:
What Is a Stay and Play Package?
If you haven’t booked one before, a stay and play package is exactly what it sounds like. You book your rounds of golf and your place to stay in one go. At Legends Golf Course & Villas in Kingsland, TX, that means booking one of our cozy cabins or villas—right on the course—and getting your golf included in the deal. No driving back and forth. No juggling tee times and hotel check-ins. Just roll out of bed, hop in your cart, and play.
Here’s What You Actually Get
Let’s say you’re coming out for the weekend with your buddies (or your partner who’s into golf). Here’s what’s included in most packages:
- Multiple rounds of golf each day
- On-site lodging with full kitchens, comfy beds, and epic views
- Access to a pool, fishing pond, fire pits, and grill areas
- Golf carts included—no extra rental fees or long walks
- Snack and drink options for the turn (our pro shop crew makes it easy)
- Deer in the field and sunsets from the porch
It’s a no-stress setup, and once you check in, the fun immediately begins.
Why Golfers (Actually) Love It
You know what it’s like to drive an hour to a course, play 18, then head straight back home. Sure, it’s fun—but it’s rushed. With stay and play at the Legends, you get to slow down and really enjoy it all.
You get:
- Unrushed mornings where you drink coffee on the porch and watch the fog lift off the fairway
- Bonus twilight rounds just because you can
- Time with your crew—grilling, catching a game, swapping stories around a fire pit
- Easy access to nearby restaurants (and by the way, we made a whole guide to the best restaurants nearby if you want to go out after your round)
- Wine! Perissos Vineyard and Winery, Uplift Vineyard, Torr Na Lochs Vineyard & Winery and Fall Creek Vineyards
It’s golf, but it’s also a weekend getaway—and the vibe is laid-back and personal.
Who Is This Actually For?
If you're wondering if it makes sense for you, here's who really benefits:
The Golf Group Chat Crew
If you and your friends keep saying “We should do a golf trip,” this is the move. The cabins and villas are made for groups. Everyone’s nearby, rounds are pre-booked, and there’s space to hang out between rounds.
Couples That Golf (or One That Does)
You don’t need to be a hardcore golfer to love it here. Our Texas Hill Country Golf Weekend Itinerary includes things like wine tasting, hiking, and local eats—so there’s a lot more to do than just swing a club.
Austin Area Golfers Who Want a Break
If you live in Austin, Marble Falls, San Antonio, or even Fredericksburg, this is an easy way to do a mini vacation without flying or planning months ahead. You can be here in under two hours, play 36 in a weekend, and feel like you actually got away.
Lodging: What’s It Like?
We’ve got cabins and villas that sleep anywhere from 3 to 6 people, depending on your crew. They’re clean, cozy, and steps from the course. Full kitchens, porches with sunset views, and golf carts come with the stay. Some even overlook a fishing pond or open fields where deer stroll by at dusk.
