Looking out on #2 Fairway Photo submitted by walt02554 on 08/25/2013
challenging, great GPS, beautiful
Love to play again. Pretty expensive but would come back. Staff was exceptional
Best course in Austin area
With the local rate, it's a great deal! Best course in the Austin area. Challenging and fun and the staff is always friendly. Great facility. Can't go wrong when you play at Wolfdancer.
Outstanding Course in a beautiful setting
A great mix of holes set in the hills and down in the river valley. One of the most challenging courses in the Austin area, but no ridiculous fairway slopes or tremendous carries. The only thing that could be improved is the condition of the bunkers. Extra kudos to the marshal delivering iced towels. Nothing better on a 100+ degree afternoon.
a memorable round on a great track...can not wait to return...
thoroughly enjoyed my round at Wolfdancer...it is quite a long drive from Austin but worth the trip...every staff member I met made me feel special...and the course -- wonderful layout that forces you to use every club in your bag...tough greens, but fair...one criticism, the bunkers could use some work -- most that I visited are in rough shape...the Golf Now deal was incredible value for money...
Overall Very Good
We were able to play for $50, which is a great deal for this course. Greens were in great condition and rolled true. Fairways were great - some were a little hard, but that isn't uncommon in the middle of summer in Texas. One of my favorite courses in the area.
DO NOT MISS THIS
This course is just the right mix of challenge, fun, scenery, greenery and more. Golfnow.com made this a no-brainer
Good course , but is has an annoying feature
Wolfdancer was a good course for the amout I paid through Golf Now. I certainly don't consider it a $100 a round course, but I suppose they have a captive audience at the resort. It shares the same annoying feature that the Hyatt in San Antonio has, which is trees in the fairway. For some reason the course designer decided that well hit tee shots should also need some luck. There are some holes on Wolfdancer that has an unnecessary tree blocking a shot to green that is completely unnecessary. Stupid design! Also, be aware that if you play on a weekend, it will almost for sure, be a 5 hour round. It is set up to play very slow. The much review super fast greens were not that fast. Many hadn't fully recovered from whenever they airerated. They were still pretty rough. Overall, a good course but nothing really special.
Challenging, Well Maintained Course
The course was in great shape and proved to be very challenging. The fairways are generous for the most part, so you want to hit them...if you don't, the rough is thick and can be difficult the hit out of. Several of the greens could have been in better shape, but all proved difficult. The deal we got from GolfNow was a steal, but I am not sure the round would have been worth it if we had paid full price.
Wolfdancer is a lot of fun to play.
There are some really tough holes mixed in with a couple of resort like cupcakes. The greens are the biggest challenge with plenty of undulation on most of them. When I played here in mid July 2013, the entire course had been aerated. I wish I had been told, or offered five bucks off, or something like that. It made for the some bumpy putts. I know it has to be done...just tell us about it. Overall a fine experience!
Course condition
When I called and asked if the greens had recently been aerated, the guy said "yes, but they are holding and looking great". Only to get there and they were aerated two days earlier and were the most terrible greens I have ever played on. A total waste of money.
I'm sure the course is great in the fall.
Challenge & Escape
Escape in more ways than one at Wolfdancer, part of the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort west of Bastrop. This property is a revelation in its sweeping country and river views, elevation changes, routing, and length -- all less than 5 minutes (and more than a few blood pressure points) from the bustling Austin-Bastrop growth corridor.
Fast, undulating greens will also give you the feeling of escape--if you leave the green in bogey or better. GPS in carts; USE IT to stay on the right side of the pin, usually underneath. Greens are fairly consistent throughout, so you'll probably get all the chance you need to gauge speed and break.
The amenities and course conditions are pretty well worth what you're paying, even if you think it's a little on the high side. This is not bargain seeker golf.
Amazing course
Truly enjoyed the round of golf. Staff was very friendly and course was in immaculate shape.
Best course in Central Texas, maybe all of Texas
Always pristine, beautiful, everything you would want in a golf course and then there is the excellent staff which is all about service with a smile and very friendly attitude, permeates throughout the entire staff. Great location for all of Central Texas, fabulous practice facility. This place has it all, highly recommend for all levels of golfers that don't mind having their game tested, sometimes to the max but under the best possible golfing conditions.
A gem not far from Austin
Very enjoyable course. Only saw the drink cart on course ONE time in 100+ heat so plan accordingly.
Great course, greens were in rough shape
Wolfdancer is one of my favorite courses to play in the Austin metro. Friendly staff and very helpful.
The issues I had with this trip (played 6/25/13 is that they had just verticut and top dressed the greens. Greens are at the top of my list when playing golf so this was a let down. The other disappointment I had is they are now handing out a bag of practice balls at the golf shop (bag may have 20 balls in them). They used to have the mini golf bags full of balls at each station on the range and you could hit as many as you would like while enjoying some good Texas country music. I hope they consider bringing back the mini golf bags at each station. For such a high end course to hand out a small bag of practice balls, it almost made it feel like playing a muni.
Good fun tough course
Had a great time was expecting a real difficuit course. Turned out to be great for us not too long hitters. Were able to keep score low by playing with the course. Easy fairways but tough tough greens. Can't wait to play it again.
Wonderfully Challenging
Immaculate course, speedy greens, definitely challenging. Amazing scenery and wonderful elevation changes. Just a beautiful golf course that every golfer would love to play.
Service Lacking For A Golf Resort Course
Played Wolfdancer on a recent Saturday afternoon. Since our family was staying at the resort and my son wanted to come with me, I asked before arriving if it was OK to have my son ride along with me. I was told "Sure, bring him with you, no problem. When I went to the cart area I was told that there were no extra carts available even though I saw over 50 carts sitting in an area right next to us. Three people sharing a cart on a course this hilly was quite an uncomfortable experience to say the least.
The course was challenging, somewhat scenic, but did not have any views or holes that were memorable. The course did not seem to be in top notch condition, especially for a resort course. For $99, you would be better off going to another top notch course where you undoubtedly would have a nicer experience than at Wolfdancer.
This justed to be a pristine coarse, who left in grounds keeping?
I play this coarse from time to time as the views are spectacular and it has always been maintained excellently. I have not been her in 6 months and to my surprise it is falling apart. I choose a bad day as they had just sanded the greens and putting was imposable but it was the bunkers that are useless and falling apart. There was water in most but even in dry ones they were hard as a rock and sides starting to fall over.. The view is worth the big bucks but don't expect a fun coarse to play on.
Very Challenging Golf Course
This is a long course, full of hills and great scenic views. Tip: keep the ball on fairway or you'll have a lot of penalty shots. It is a very challenging course. My only complain is that the GPS on my cart did not work and that was a little frustrating and had to keep looking at my friends cart in every shot.
On behalf of me and my staff, I sincerely apologize for your bad experience. I do not wish to make excuses but we received 3/4" of hard, fast rain late Sunday afternoon. Because the verticut was scheduled for Monday morning with normal play beginning at 11:00AM, we did not have the resources to give the bunkers the attention they needed. On top of that, the rough was shaggy from not having been cut since the previous Thursday and there was still a lot of material on the fairways from their verticut as well. We strive to provide the best course conditions possible and on this day we did not meet that. Please feel free to email me at john.crall@hyatt.com as I would love to have you back out to play a round with me personally so that I may show you the true Wolfdancer experience.
Sincerely,
John C. Crall
