Pine Forest Golf Club

About
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.

The course needs a lot of work.
The layout is interesting and has real challenges. But the fairways are dry and most shots are from tight lies. The greens were not mowed and so slow and bouncy as to make putting a joke.
Has good potential BUT!
Wow !
Worse golf course I ever had experience.
The green is fuzzy and bumpy and fairway is like random patch of like sand box . Absolutely terrible .but has good potential. It could be very nice place.
Hopefully improve the course .
I would like to check back in again .
I have say staffs are amazingly friendly and helpful!
Great deal!
Course in good shape, layout one of the best, very well worth the time and price, recommended!!
Holy slow play.
A sixsome was allowed to play, inexplicably and maddeningly. And they allowed no one to pass. So many dead, barren spots on fairways. Tee boxes were like parking lots. Standing water in odd places. The staff in the clubhouse and restaurant were top notch, but there was no one assisting in keeping play moving. This is an amazing property and piece of land. Unfortunately, there's just no money put into the place to make it worth the while.
We live here and played this course for years. It was a little strange to get teamed up with a threesome but thankfully some others didn't show and we got to play by ourselves. Glad to see a turn around with the new owners.
Potential
Course has a lot of potential but needs some TLC.
If you don't mind inconsistent greens and areas of mud patches in the fairways the course is nice layout and some scenic holes. So if you adjust your expectations you can enjoy,
Clean it up
So, I golfed this past weekend at this course. I play here often. This is no longer the golf course it was previously. Too many people playing and not enough carts to accommodate the people that were suppose to tee off 10 min ago. That has never happened before, but did this last weekend. The course it not maintained well at all. There’s debris on the course. Sand traps are just hard sand that is like hitting off rocks. Greens have mounds of dirt from insects on them, that or holes.The water dispensers most the time don’t have water in them. The ball cleaners don’t either. I’ve golfed here for years and am disappointed to see it take such a drop. I loved this course, but don’t mind driving a few more miles away to play on a better course.
Golf on the Colorado
I like the challenges this course presents though I always lose a few golf balls. There are some fairways with messed up spots and the cart paths through the woods need some work. But it’s fun, close to home, and a good price.
Nice course to play.
The course is in good shape and the greens are in excellent condition, especially after what last winter did to them.
I played on Tuesday and there was quite a few players, male and female alike. The rate of play was excellent.
The facilities are clean and well kept and the staff is friendly and helpful. I will be returning soon.
Better than Expected
Per some of the last few reviews I was expecting poor course conditions overall. I was happily surprised to say it was mostly in good condition. There were some areas that were in poor shape, and a few greens had sandy areas that one had to move their ball out of.
But the layout is very hilly and scenic in spots, and the holes along the river are pretty nice overall.
You can get in trouble fairly easy if you are not very accurate.
Playing a two man scramble really helps on this course. Instead of a 95, we had a 75.
