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.

Poor Course Condition

The course was in very poor condition. Several greens were in poor shape. Several fairways were pretty much nothing but dirt.

Save your money

Have played a lot of golf over the years. Have never played at a place in poorer condition than Pine Forest. Absolutely nothing up to par from the club house to the carts to the fairways and greens. Played here a few years ago when it was kinda nice. Never again.

First time new golfer

This was my first time at this course. I am a fairly new golfer. All of the staff was super friendly. We only played the first 9 holes, & the fairways & greens were a little rough, but I didn’t go with high expectations. I lost so many balls though, the grass on the sides of the fairways was really long. As soon as a ball wondered to the left or right, it was gone. The scenery is beautiful though. Deer, pines, etc. I would gladly play here again.

I didn’t get to have food or drinks so I can’t comment on that. Maybe next time!

Misleading Description

I have payed this course several times over the years. 15 years ago the description was accurate. The course has since declined dramatically. An employee told me that the course has had 5 owners in as many years. Local word has it that it is going under. By all appearances it has already gone under. The course appears to have very little maintenance done. The greens had dried muddy footprints, the fairways have large mud holes throughout. The greens looked more like a second cut area and are so rough that any lie over 5 feet was a 2 put. A great disappoint for a local course that once was very nice. THIS COURSE IS NOT A DEAL even at prices below $20.

I used to love this course

This course used to be in way better shape. I still like the layout a lot. But it’s pretty close to achieving goat track status. I hope steps are taken to improve this course. We still had fun and played a 3 hour round. Staff, facilities, and carts were great. For the money, I’d recommend another course at this time. But I’m sure we will end up playing Pine Forest again.

Course condition

Course was in very poor condition. The greens were not cut and so fluffy your ball would not go 5’ if you banged it. Played 3 holes and left.

Round got rained out 3 holes in

I was hoping I could get a refund or something to use towards my next round. Started raining on hole 2 or 3. Was forced to quit the because the course is not safe to drive on in wet conditions. Also it rain for about a hour so the course wasn’t even playable if it had been safe to drive on the cart paths.

Greens are awful

This is top 5 of worse golf courses I have ever played. I would not waste my time here. Course is in bad shape and greens are like putting on your front lawn.
