Getting Here and Getting Around

Nestled along Highway 170, where the road curves to embrace the Rio Grande, Lajitas Golf Resort is located just 17 miles southwest of the junction of Highways 118/170 at Terlingua, Texas. Tucked between the rugged beauty of Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, our resort offers an unparalleled retreat in one of the most serene corners of Texas.

To give you a sense of our remote charm, we're approximately 200 miles from the nearest Walmart in Fort Stockton and 95 miles from the closest McDonald's or stoplight in Alpine. This seclusion is part of what makes Lajitas so special—no traffic, no city lights—just peaceful surroundings, tranquility, and some of the best stargazing you'll find anywhere.

While a vehicle is not essential for staying at the resort, since our housing is conveniently located near resort amenities, having a car is recommended for trips to Presidio (55 miles southwest) or Alpine (95 miles north) for major shopping or outings.

At Lajitas, the isolation is a part of the experience, offering a rare opportunity to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature's beauty.

For Fun

The Big Bend region is a paradise for adventurers, offering endless opportunities to explore! Whether you're hiking through the stunning landscapes of Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, or stepping right outside your door to traverse the resort's 27,000 acres, there's no shortage of trails and breathtaking views. For water enthusiasts, we provide easy access to the Rio Grande, where you can kayak, paddleboard, or take a refreshing swim anytime you wish!

If mountain biking is your thing, you'll love the hundreds of miles of rugged trails waiting to be explored. And if music is your passion, the nearby quirky town of Terlingua offers local bars and restaurants that regularly host open mic nights, where you can showcase your talent and soak in the lively atmosphere.

For those seeking more, you’ll find additional dining and shopping options as close as 12 miles away. Embark on a full-day adventure, visiting the Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Fort Davis with its historical park, the McDonald Observatory, the vibrant art scene and shopping in Alpine, the intriguing Marfa Lights and the town of Marfa, and much more. There’s always something new to discover in this amazing corner of Texas!
