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!

Getting Here and Getting Around

We are located on Highway 170 where the road bends to meet the Rio Grande which is 17 miles southwest of the junction of Highways 118/170 at Terlingua, Texas.  The resort is tucked between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. 

To put it in perspective, we are approx. 200 miles to the closest Wal-Mart in Fort Stockton, and 95 miles to the closest McDonalds or stop light in Alpine!  We are here because we love remoteness.  No traffic, no big-city lights, creates an environment of peace and quiet and unsurpassed stargazing!

While a vehicle is not required at the resort with housing close to the facilities, a vehicle is useful for major shopping or outing trips to Presidio, located 55 miles southwest of the resort, or Alpine, located 95 miles north of the resort. 

For Fun

The Big Bend region is full of adventure and places to explore! Whether you want to hike the national and state park, or hike right out your front door on the resort's 27,000 acres! We also have river access so you can kayak, paddleboard, or just go swimming whenever you like! Like mountain biking? We have hundreds of miles of trails to explore. Like to play music? The eclectic town down the road of "Terlingua" has some restaurants and bars that feature open mic nights for local musicians! 

There are more restaurants and shopping opportunities as close as 12 miles away.  A full day trip could take in the Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Fort Davis, and its historical park and town; the McDonald Observatory; art, shopping, and the Sul Ross State University in Alpine; the Marfa Lights and the town of Marfa; and much more!
