Movie ‘Seven Days in
Utopia’ being
filmed in Utopia Texas & the Utopia Golf Course.
Robert Duvall is Johnny and Lucas Black is playing Luke (the young golfer)
Based on the book
– ‘Golf's Sacred Journey, 7 Days at the Links of Utopia’ is really a book about life; it just
so happens that the main
character's life is all about golf. A professional golfer, who is actually
never named in the book, has a breakdown on the
golf course during a tournament in which he was favored to do well.
Despondent and despairing of his future in golf, he
wanders into the town of Utopia, where he providentially meets Johnny, a
former golf pro who has retired to a quite
country life. Johnny, a Yoda-like teacher, who is building a golf
course in a field in the middle of nowhere; takes the young
golfer under his wing and spends a week completely reshaping the way he thinks
about the game of golf and life.

Experience the rugged beauty of the Texas Hill Country River Region by joining us each October for Bicycle Classic. This event is for the cyclist looking for a serious challenge as well as families wanting an enjoyable ride for everyone. Headquartered at Parkview Riverside on CR 350, Bicycle Classic kicks off on Friday, with packet pickup, late registration, and a skills clinic focusing on climbing and descending skills needed for hill country rides. Maps of the area will be available for unsupported rides. An evening social with snacks, entertainment, and vendor booths is also part of the fun. It's your choice of supported routes: 32-mile Scenic Cruise (out and back), 52-mile Challenge, and the 102-mile Dragon's Back Century. The 52-mile Challenge and the Dragon's Back include the most spectacular hill climb and descent in Texas. All routes include beautiful views, river crossings, friendly, well-prepared rest stops at least every 10 miles, and expert SAG wagons and mechanics. Enjoy Beer, BBQ, Music & Fun on Saturday night on the banks of the Frio! Bicycle Classic proceeds are donated to local Scout Troops, EMS, and Fire Departments that volunteer their time to help ensure your ride is a safe one.
