Teravista Golf Club is one of those unique facilities that has managed to combine a state-of-the-art golf course with breathtaking scenery. In fact, it's not unusual to find golfers pausing from their game for a few minutes to admire the 50-mile vistas that are visible from the hills of this 7,200-yard course. Course amenities include a well-stocked pro shop with everything you need to improve your game, as well as impressive practice facilities, including greenside and fairway bunkers, a chipping green, and the largest practice green in all of Austin.

Individual and group lessons are available for beginners who want to learn the fundamentals of the game, as well as for seasoned players who are looking to perfect their technique. And don't forget the on-site restaurant, which is a convenient place to relax after your game with a burger and a brew.

Tee times start at 7 a.m. and are easy to book online.

On the patio, teal picnic tables are scattered across a massive chess board beneath a 200-year-old oak tree covered with twinkling lights. In the dining room, ceramic letters spell out, "EAT ME" with antique utensils hanging beneath them to help get the job done. By the bar, a row of doors leads nowhere and clocks run backwards. Everything is a little bit topsy turvy at The Scarlet Rabbit, an homage to the classic tale Alice in Wonderland.

The quirky nature of the eatery extends to the menu of contemporary bistro fare, as well. Start your meal at The Scarlet Rabbit with a whimsical appetizer like fried oyster nachos, a flatbread topped with quail and caramelized onions, or fried Portobello mushroom strips. Then move on to the braised short ribs, Hatter's burger made from ground brisket, or gumbo with smoked rabbit and andouille sausage. Wash it all down with a drink from the list of "Curiouser and Curioser" cocktails, like the Chesire Cat with Bacardi Silver, lime, ginger, hibiscus, mint, and grenadine.
