Lost Tracks Golf Club
About
Perfect Central Oregon rolling terrain fashioned into beautiful golf holes by designer Brian Whitcomb. With 7000 yards of breathtaking views and challenging golf shots Lost Tracks Golf Club defines the word golf.
While Lost Tracks Golf Club is located near the city of Bend, it has the feeling of quiet seclusion. The golf course is bordered by national forest land and carved out of a stand of Ponderosa and high desert pine trees with lava rock outcroppings, dotted with sparkling lakes, and seaside sand filled bunkers. Laid out on a softly rolling terrain the old style design, without the long walks between greens and tees, invite the golfer to walk the meticulously groomed and maintained fairways.
Lost Tracks design philosophy did not include a "signature hole" consideration. Many players may consider the 141-yard 16th hole a par 3 island green, with an old railroad dining car for a bridge, to be exactly that. However, with so many gorgeous holes to choose from, we will leave that up to you. Have fun!

Hole 11 @ Lost Tracks Photo submitted by odysseycustom on 05/27/2014
Early Summer
Course entrance was great, clubhouse was cool, and close to town. Range was 10 spots on grass with a small bucket being cheap ($5) but only coming with about 15 balls-most of which were reclaimed water balls from an empty pond of mud on 8 (I think 8).
Holes setups were ok, course was in ok shape-bunkers were all different consistency with 12” string grass around the rims. Fairways were ok and greens in solid shape. Golf carts were great with gps devices. They showed yardage with front middle and back of green, yardage to first hazard - which was not obvious till 8th hole - and overall hole layout. Problem was screen was 2” tall and about 3” wide and not interactive. For the money that is what you are going to get in Bend area and was not disappointed even if review may seem negative. Just trying to be honest.

Great course. Very Scenic
Love this course. Play it every year when in the area. My biggest complaint is the loud, stinky gas powered carts! My home course has beautiful new electric carts and this was such a bummer.
Fun course close to town, good conditions on most fairways and greens. Only thing I didn’t like was the lack of yardage markers throughout the course. Even tee boxes don’t have ground markers. Struggled to get yardages on most fairway shots- had to use phone GPS.
Good value for the money though. Will play again.
nice local course
For early in the season, the course was in pretty good shape. It is a public course, so is not the same as playing at a resort course, but it is definitely worth the cost. There are some fun holes.
A great value and a fun course
We have played Lost Tracks many times over the past several years. It is a family-run facility that treats golfers of all abilities like guests. It is a great value and presents the golfer with many challenges as well as spectacular views of Mt. Bachelor. My only suggestion is that they need a marshal on peak days as sometimes the pace of play can slow down.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Lost Tracks Golf Club.
This place needs WATER!
Ok I understand that it's early season around Central Oregon but I have played 4 other courses in the last 2 weeks and the fairways were in better condition at every one of them!. Many very large dry dead grass spots and some open dry dirt where a couple of years ago there was grass on this course... looks like it's just being neglected. Seriously, even in the areas with good grass coverage there was no soft spongyness to the turf, just a bit of grass over extreme hard pan. It looks like if they don't get water on the fairways in a few days the dead out areas are going to get MUCH bigger.
I played Lost Tracks via a Golf Now deal, If I had paid full price I would have been pretty unhappy. I will continue to play here at Golf Now prices but would never pay full price given course conditions.

Great course !
Loved the course and felt it was challenging but fair. Greens were in great condition and the island green with the passenger train as a bridge was super cool. Frost delay was a bit of a pain and had to wait an hour but that was no fault to the course. Actually the first group out let me go ahead and finished in under 2 hours with a cart playing solo.
Fun layout, decent conditions for early season golf
Kind of a fun layout. Lots of interesting doglegs and a surprising amount of uphill/downhill approach shots. Staff was super friendly and we played the round walking in 3:38 teeing off in the middle of the day. Can’t beat that.
Use method to cut down grass around bunkers that mowers miss. Take the bunkers regularly. Replace water in empty ponds. Was a pleasurable course and will play again. I just try and be honest. Carts, greens, and majority of course was in solid shape.
