Lost Pines Golf Club

First time out and the course is everything it's hyped up to be. Starting with the massive, all-grass range, it's a top notch experience. Pace of play was miserable though, the group in front of us had no idea what they were doing and frequently fell more than a hole off the pace.

Strongly recommend playing there, but tee off early and except a really slow round.

Had a nice 1st round at Wolfdancer, which played quite long and was extra challenging due to ~20 mph winds. I was fortunate to play with someone who had played there before. There are many sand traps protecting small, very sloped greens, and also sand traps dotting the fairways to snare you off the Tee. On many holes, getting a par felt like a birdie at most courses. Shot an 88, which isn’t bad considering the wind & course difficulty. I believe many decent golfers would struggle to break 100 at Wolfdancer.

The course is very well maintained with the exception of some ‘Natural Areas’ that are unmowed and indiscernible from a distance - they hide & will swallow balls. Greens are fast, very sloped, and more undulated than any course I’ve played. You really need to understand the preferred landing areas on approach shots, pitches & chips. Many fairways are quite sloped, causing you to target left or right side to account for roll & gravity. Looking forward to playing there again with less wind & more course recognition!

Very solid track. Some very confusing pin placements...The first several holes are very challenging and the greens are very fast which is why putting pins in the middle of slopes is just kinda mean. Back 9 is a lot more friendly but more of an "executive" style 9 - almost 2 completely different courses. I love it but just not sure its worth $120+ especially given it's remote location.

If you want to figure out the state of your game, this place will let you know in a hurry. Tight fairways and smallish fast greens. 1st time on here and it took me a full nine holes to get the greens dialed in. A little over priced for the time of year but it is a resort course. Look around for some specials and it will be more worth the price.

Pace of play is terrible. Teetime was 1:30, and we made it through hole 15 by sunset. There was no marshal on course, shame cause it’s a nice course.

Nice layout and challenging. The GPS system helped immensely.

Typical Arthur Hill design which keeps me guessing on and off the greens.

Played this course in March 2020 and took over 5 hours to play. They do not have a Marshall. Just played it again and managed to finish in 4 hours. Course was in very good condition, challenging and greens in great shape. Would definitely play it again but it is expensive unless you get one of the Golf Now discounts.

Weather was perfect for a round at this coarse,greens and fairways were groomed properly (no complaints from me on the coarse),greens were groomed nicely and were a little more difficult to play for me because my game is not the greatest,very challenging on the putting end due to changing slopes on the greens (was a good change from the normal coarse I okay though) was a lot of fun to play, only bad thing I have to say is the foursome in front of us need to okay somewhere else ,when you pay for a course like this you don’t want it to take 5 hours to play,(not the courses fault )!!!!other than that it was a good challenging coarse

Got the "Hot Deal" Just enough time to get in 18 before dark. Course is tough but awesome. Greens perfect. Great day!

In my last review I touched on the fact that wolfie is my favorite course in town, but lacked the finishing touches that were needed given that this course isn’t cheap. New rules on the carts discussing pace a place we’re a relief to see! THANK YOU! Letting people see that there are time limits is great to see especially for new golfers that don’t seem to understand they MUST keep a pace! Had a group respect speed of play and let us through! Finally! We need more people like this! I APPRECIATE groups that see they are slower and have no problem letting someone through! NEWBIE golfers in Austin this is for you!! Letting faster players through is GOLD and appreciated more than you can imagine. Bunkers were finally up to par and the greens rolled PERFECT. Staff was so kind as they have never had an issue in this department. Also! Great to see the staff following Covid- 19 rules unlike SHADOWGLEN. Where on multiple occasions the staff recklessly failed to used masks when ringing people up in the proshop. Courses that follow COVID-19 rules actually care about their patrons. Thank you wolfie for taking care of your patrons!!!

The hospitality here was fantastic. I was paired with a member and his guest. They were very friendly and helpful. The course is in great shape and greens rolled true. Each hole has its own personality which kept the strategy varied and fun. The pace of play the day I went was impacted by five groups that were part of a wedding party. I finished the round in 5 hours. I would go again.

The course was in good shape and fun to play. The only issue were the tee boxes getting scalped and the tee set at very back of the box. Practice area (range) was also under repair. The GPS on the carts were very convenient and most accurate distance.

The lounge was closed, so no chance for food and drinks after the round.

What a great track!

The pro was gracious and welcoming. Explained in great detail how the to get our bearings for the practice tee and the first hole. Even moved our tee time so we would have a bit more time to warm up.

The conditions were as expected for a course of this caliber and expense. The layout seems wide open as you first view the holes. But, as you navigate the course you learn that placement of your shots was more important than distance.

Each hole had interesting and challenging aspects that gave you choices on how best to play the hole. The greens were firm and slightly faster than average speed. Perfect for a resort course. The front nine seemed a bit more natural in the layout with more elevation changes and undulating greens. The back nine seemed more of a resort layout while still keeping interest with fairway bunkers placed in perfect locations to offer risk or reward.

I was slightly concerned given there were some unfavorable reviews. Thank goodness I paid little attention to them. As I was very happy to hand over the more than $100 to play this course.

I'm a 5 handicap and this course was challenging enough for me to be happy with my score. Whereas my brother at a 20 also enjoyed every aspect of the course.

Would recommend to anyone if they are willing to play the correct tees for their game.
