The best golf courses in Lost Pines, Texas

“Lost Pines GC (formerly Wolfdancer) at the Hyatt Regency is a very expansive, demanding Arthur Hills design just east of Austin. The Par-5s are particularly good, but also appreciated the Par-3 & Par-4 diversity.”

“I’d venture to say the course is overpriced, however, it does have some really good golf holes, and some great views. Unique and challenging course. A few quirky holes, however, it is always a good time.”

“I think about 8 holes blended together not in a bad way since the holes are fine but just in a repetitive way. Wide fairways and little trees. So those kind of just blend. Each hole gains character as you get closer to the greens. The bunkering and the greens were very good.”

“Can walk right up and put your ball down to get in line. You should only need about 2 clubs as most holes are 60ish yards. Every city should build one of these in their public park system, truly a ton of fun. Pro tip: If you are looking to get out on the weekend, go early.”

“An Austin staple. First couple times around can be challenging as there’s several blind tee shots where you need less than driver. But gettable after you know where you’re going. Enjoyable with under 4 hour pace. Short course.”

“ShadowGlen GC is a quirktastic 2003 Roy Bechtel/Randy Russell design that is regarded as one of the better public options in the Austin area. Very unique topography and lots of risk/reward holes to keep you interested. Fairway conditions were to be desired, but greens were solid!”

“Probably my favorite of Austin’s munis. Getable with really good green complexes and interesting green contours. The trees on the course are stupid but that’s the case with many public’s in central Texas. Enjoyable and has a good variety of holes”

“The greens were very slow and bumpy, and it was 5+ hour round… still, great views, layout, and value.”

“Good place to learn the game. Not the best conditions but that isn’t expected on a course like this. Walking only for the most part.”

“No driving range, first hole can be played as a par 3 or par 4, great value and some fun holes. Cool view being able to see downtown Austin from a couple areas on the course. Some holes feel repetitive.”
