Rating 71.8

Built by Don January in 1979, Pine Forest Golf Club in Bastrop, Texas provides a true golf adventure through sneaky elevation changes and red bluffs, with blind tee shots and holes along the Colorado River. No. 3 is a picturesque par 3, playing 170 yards downhill, with a green framed by the red bluffs. On no. 6, keep the tee shot right to avoid a blind second shot, and watch out for the tough, two-tiered green. The seventh hole plays along the Colorado, and is protected by a massive cottonwood tree on the left. On the back, make note that the highest point on the course is the 11th green. For the home stretch, make the most of the two downhill par 3s. No. 12 plays 180 yards and you'll need to leave it below the hole. The 16th hole is longer at 225 yards and is protected by a beautiful oak tree on the left.

Slow Play

Course allows groups larger than 4 to play back to back and these groups will not let you play through
Tee times have never had any bearing when I have played this course
You can Be a single player with a tee time and they will allow a group of 4 to walk up and start on your tee time ahead of you, forcing you to a slow pace of play
The course is nice for this time of year and staff friendly.

Pine Forest, Bastrop, TX

This is a great course. And then when you factor in the price, it's a favorite for me and my friends. The layout is challenging, but fair. Pretty short . . . I've played with long hitters who hit through many of the fairways. Good golf shots and a target golf mentality is what you need.

All abilities will have a good time. I shoot low 80. I've played with low 70's golfers and beginners and everyone always has fun. It's usually quiet enough for two groups if you have that many. Many elevation changes and some great views.

Houses on a few holes, but nothing bothersome. I have seen the greens in rough shape with all the flooding in Bastrop. Not the best putting green and driving range, but who cares . . . PLAY THIS COURSE.

Excellent layout

Although we played this in the winter, mid-50s, cart path only, rye grass overseed, it still is great to play this layout. Not many golfers early, but the greens were very good, as well as scenery and fauna, deer and roadrunners on the course.

Dead slow...

The pace is seriously dead slow, expect to spend over 5:30 hours at least. The grass around the green, and the greens are wet as swamp.
The course design is astonishing, and beautiful.

The course is beautiful. The price to play this course is a steal. Worth the Drive! Great views and an Eagle to top it off.

The only negative was the St. Augustine on some of the fairways.

Hope to play again soon!

Course was very well watered and maintained. Greens were very soft and the MANY elevation changes were enjoyable. The course was empty which was a huge bonus, literally didn't see a single other golfer in front or behind us the entire round.

Good course great price

Well maintained, maybe the best course I've played for under 20 bucks. Very scenic and at times has dynamic elevation changes. Play twice to get a lie of the land as the course map is not very accurate, also no beverage service on the course, and hole ten is a bit tricky to find. Overall this was an unexpectedly good course.

Very nice course would definitely play again. Golf carts were a little under powered with all the rolling hills. Fairways were open and in good condition. Greens were in good shape. Great scenery from various holes. We had a good round and a good time.

Short and Sweet

This is the least expensive course that is a lot of fun to play in Texas. The change in elevations for the par threes make it target golf at its finest. Number 12 is gorgeous with a 150 foot drop. I've never seen a course marshall on the course so if you get behind certain groups who plum bob the fairways and are rude, then it gets real slow. It's a short course but very fun. When the Colorado river floods, it turns number seven into a par 3 with an island green. Great stuff!

Review

This is just a average Texas public course. Pasture grass in the fairways, half dead greens. You hit a great tee shot and after the ball hits a rock you have a lousy tee shot. This area has had record rain fall and the greens are brown, some with bare spots. But, with the different elevations, the dog legs and water, you can still have a good time. The stalk is great and the price is right when using Golf Now Hot Deals. Have played there before, and am sure we will play it again. We know what it is and know what to expect.
