Lost Pines Golf Club

Absolutely loved our stay at Lost Pines Hyatt. A wonderfully thought out Austin, Texas family friendly experience! Rooms were clean, spacious and above all the staff was friendly and helpful. We hope to have the chance to return some day soon!

For starters, I had never been to Texas before, but this golf course is complete robbery. It is as if this course has never seen a drop of water, a mower on the fairway, or even a club professional for that matter. They charged me $170 and as a Massachusetts resident, that is ridiculous. Anytime a golfer pays over $130 for a round, the course better be able to at least have true greens. Apparently the resort runs the course, which makes sense, but something needs to change.

Today, my friends and I had another fantastic outing at Lost Pines golf course, our second visit in nearly a year. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed the game even more this time around. The staff were incredibly courteous and professional, ensuring a delightful customer experience. The greens were lightning-fast, requiring careful attention to avoid overshooting with the putter. The lady at the counter provided thorough instructions on where to go and how to play, including details about the driving range and our tee time. Tiny’s cafe offered a great spot for drinks, snacks, and a restroom break before the 1st and 10th holes, as well as after the 11th. Their breakfast tacos were deliciously generous, and I was impressed by the taste of the chicken salad sandwich. Restrooms were conveniently located near the 5th and 18th holes. Holes 14, 16, and 17 proved to be the most challenging, but still immensely enjoyable, though expect to lose a few balls. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can't wait to return!

Played 2 rounds on consecutive days. Overall course was in good condition. Greens were very slow and shaggy on day 1. Day 2 greens were a bit faster and rolled better. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Only location for post round drinks was at the Resort and beers were really expensive!

No hot water in the shower no matter how long you run the shower. If you like ice showers this is your place

I played the course for the first time yesterday. Overall I really loved the layout. It was a fun, challenging course to play. There are some dead spots on the greens with hole 17 green being the worst. I also saw some of the tee boxes were re-sodded. The fairways were in good shape. Some nice views from certain areas of the course where you can see for miles and miles. When they have the dead spots on the greens addressed, I dont think you will find a much better course to play. I'd play it again today if I had time.

Incredible experience! Came for a birthday round, will be back once a month. The hospitality was top tier and that's the reason I'll be a regular ✌🏾

Great course, terrific layout on the back 9 now since the changes in 2022. Also so rare nowadays to play so close to a city but play a course that has no houses on it! Greens are in better shape since recovering from a fungus attack this year.

This course is solid. I've played most of the courses within a 20 mile radius of downtown and this one definitely is worth the trek. Solid greens, tee boxes and spaced appropriately. Saw plenty of greens keeping and overall a well kept property, plus they validate parking. ‍

The course definitely needs some work for the green fees they are charging. The greens were probably the worst. But the most disappointing factor was the support of staff when cart stopped operating 40 yards from designated area to not enter. Called pro shop for support and after not being able to get the cart operating we had to walk to the next teebox. Delay of nearly 25 minutes. They got the cart working but were so indifferent and almost rude, like we couldn't follow instructions or the suggestions they provided. Mentioned to the pro shop after the round and no different response. Sad.

Wow what a great course! This is a course what you see is what you get, very playable and it was in great shape. I was there for a golf event and it was very well hosted by the staff. I did not stay at the resort but it looks nice. I see a review on 6/2/21 that the greens were in bad shape. I guess they improved a lot in two weeks because they were in pretty good shape. Overall great course and great experience. I do plan on visiting again and staying at the resort to give it a run.

I wouldn't give it 1 star, but if you charge $130+ a round at a MINIMUM, the greens don't need to look like crap. I WISH I had taken pictures of some of the greens. I know # 13 was the worst of the 18 by far. There were multiple times when I had to move my ball because there were dead spots that my ball would've bounced on if I had kept the original line. Everything else was nice. Fairways in good condition, bunkers, tee boxes, etc. But don't charge so much for a course where about half the greens are an embarrassment. And don't use the "drought" as an excuse. There are A LOT of courses around the area that did not let their greens get so bad. All the folks working at the course could not have been nicer. Customer service is top-notch. Greens superintendent, I would be EMBARRASSED if I were you. I'd rather have crap fairways than crap greens. I commend the staff, though; the greens you can see from the road when you drive into the resort look nice. I'm sure the Hyatt has more money to put in to this place. I play here: https://quicksandsanangelo.com all the time, and Quick Sand would throw up on this course, charging $130. lol What a JOKE. I'd be pissed if our company hadn't paid for the outing, but everyone in our group said it was not worth the money.

Don't bother with these guys. The greens are absolutely awful. They have no pride in their customer service either. we got rained out at 14 and after battling they refused to let us come back and offered 25% off next round. Not granted a rain check for a $100 round. You need to take more pride in your course and the way you treat people that play here.

Played on Oct 2 and on Oct 5. Overall the course is in good shape. Greens were cut for the second round and it made for a better experience. The course could use some watering but still a good time. Pace of play was good as well.

I've been here two times. The first time I set my golf bag down outside the clubhouse and when I come back my driver was missing from my bag. It was never recovered. The second time I bought the wingman bushnell speaker and that was stolen as well. Last time I visit wolf dancer.

Course is in awful condition. From the tee boxes to the greens. Definitely not worth the greens fees. Do not golf here.

They layout of the course is fantastic but the upkeep is very poor. For the price of the round ($145 with a hot deal on golf now) it definitely isn't worth it. The greens were in bad shape and the sand traps had grass growing out of them. This has potential to be a top notch course but just is not worth the money. The most i would pay would be $50. It was a big let down from things i have heard.

This is a total gem! Wow! My wife and I played yesterday and the course was in great shape. Some of the bunkers were quite hard and not very "sandy". Almost hardpanish. But nonetheless, the course was in fantastic shape. The driving range was too notch. The service was top notch! Though we didn't stay at the resort my wife and definitely made plans in our heads to come back. From what we could see the resort had pools, a lazy river, an area to watch a movie on the lawn, and a great dinner in the clubhouse. The staff was incredibly kind and made sure we had a ride back to our car. We saw all kind of wildlife from cardinals, lots of deer, one armadillo, and ever a baby rattler! Yikes!!! Couldn't believe this gem is hiding out here in Cedar Creek. We can't wait to come back.

This is a golfers golf-course! Amazing beautiful, can be tough to moderate depending on the tees you decide to play. I played BLUE and its still over 6,800 yards - and it played that way! Loved it thought! Conditions are great for January. Staff was wonderful. I wouldn't stay on property (the hotel looked a bit old from outside) but next time in Austin, Wolfdancer will get a call from me!

Golf Course was in great shape. Greens were very consistent in condition and speed. Can't wait to play again very soon Staff was very helpful and welcoming.

Public non-muni course about 1/2 hour outside of Austin at the Hyatt Lost Pines complex. 7205 yards from the tips, but lots of tee choices. Impeccably maintained course, from tee to green. Beautiful layout with lush fairways, wildflowers, and sweeping vistas for the rolling hill country. The course is laid out in a fair and entertaining manner. There are a couple of tough holes and a little local knowledge helps. We played with one of the 50 or so members who joined up with us about 2/3 of the way through and he helped us figure out where to place our tee shots for the best angle to the green. The fairways here are smooth so you can expect of a lot of roll-out and can use that to your advantage. There's a gorgeous hole with a cascading waterfall and brook that you have to stop and enjoy before playing. Service was really warm and helpful. Carts had the most advanced GPS system I have ever seen, with flyovers, touch screen for distances, etc. The facility has a great driving range and short game practice area as well as two putting greens, one flatter and one more shaped like the greens you will find on the course. The greens rolled true and were fun to putt on. Breaks were a little challenging but not stupid by any means - for example, it's helpful to be below the hole but side putts are drainable and putts from above the hole don't automatically roll off the front if you miss. Fairways are pretty generous in width and the first cut of rough is also pretty wide. No OB on the course, but some native grass past the first cut of rough which is thick and eats balls, so you have to think about risk/reward. There's usually always something, maybe just a little thing, that annoys me about a golf course. I can say though that this place was just perfect. To add to the perfect day of golf, take your scorecard into the bar and you will pay $0.01 per stroke for your first beer. I paid $0.89. I would have paid less, but had some problems in the sand! The bar was very nice and the bartender very friendly and capable. Great course, will make it a must-stop part of any trip to Austin.

Staff were all very nice. However, the course is not in good shape. Was very unexpected, as had played here three years ago and it was lovely. What is going on? Won't be back until I hear the greens are in better shape and the weeds are gone on the tee-boxes, etc.

Wolfdancer is on the Austin VIP Card and is my favorite. My company, Playem Again Pardner (recycled golf ball business) has helped Sean in advertising the VIP Card. With a buy one green fee and get one free, it comes out to $40 and change. The best deal anywhere for a first class course like Wolfdancer. With its fast greens, nice fairways and scenic views, Wolfdancer presents a challenging and enjoyable round. I have taken my groups to Wolfdancer about 6 times over the past year and everyone really enjoys the hold experience, The Staff is always welcoming and very helpful. Can't wait to go back!!! "Nearly New, Fairways To You"

Great looking course. Very disappointed in the condition of the greens. For the fee to play being $100+, I would expect the greens to be in at least decent shape. These were just terrible.

After having not played at Wolfdancer for over two years because of the high price and poor conditions I went back recently and was equally as disappointed. The greens are rock hard, the bunkers are largely in poor condition, and the fairways were marginal. Add to that they given you a tiny bag of balls to hit on the range. For a resort course and great layout this course has seen better days.

Tee boxes were in horrible condition. Fairways were too thatchy. Traps nights as well be plowed under there is no sand. Greens were too slow and a lot of greens were down to sand. Can't believe this is a Hyatt resort. Certainly not worth $100+ for green fee. I'd give 0 scores but I can't.

I wouldn't waste your money. Course was nice but wasn't managed well. No one was monitoring etiquette of play nor speed of play. Multiple "members" were playing too closely yet we were waiting for people playing multiple balls on a busy course. During 18 holes only saw beer girl 2 times. Play a different course. Not worth it.

It was the first Texan golf course I've played and my high expecations of great golf courses in Austin were truly satisfied. Terrific views, a great design and a course that is in good shape make the Wolfdancer a course i can hardly recommend. There are some really adventerous holes on this course: Hole 6 is a beautiful Par 3 with a nice water fall. It is short and it is pretty easy to hit the green, but one should be aware that keeping the ball below the hole is a key to success. My favourite hole was the pretty par 3 on the back nine. It is very short due to an elevation difference of maybe 40 yards. I was very impressed by the astonishing view over the ranch and the country side of Texas. I will never forget this hole. Since I played after 5 pm on a Saturday, I paid about $45 for a great round of golf. I can definitly recommend this course for everyone who wants to play a really nice public golf course in the area.

Great course, great experience! They pick up your clubs at in the lobby, drive you to the clubhouse, which isn't that far away by cart. You are greeted by staff and asked your name. They give you a complimentary name plate for your bag and also engrave it with your name!!! The GPS system is awesome, gives you a flyover of every hole, scorecard is electronic and easy to use and is fast. Greens were consistent, and service was impeccable!

This course is beautiful and well kept. However the price of $165 is a little steep for one person. This was a once in a while splurge on this outing. Wouldn't pay that again as there are many courses in the area just as beautiful for $60-$70.

Fantastic experience. Great layout. Good combination of short and long holes. Greens are tough but fair. Lots of blind tee shots. Check the GPS before playing hole. Great staff and very helpful. I would recommend playing this course to anybody.

Now this is a Golf Course!!! WOW all the way. Only a few minutes out of ATX you really feel like your on a a resort style course. Look for deals to get on the course but its worth every penny. I highly recommend this course!

Nice, first class golf course, especially since I got a hole in one on #6! It's my favorite course in the world.

Have played here multiple times, always enjoyed it. HOWEVER, played there today (5/4/15) and everyone in our group was so disgusted with the excruciatingly slow play, we will NEVER play there again! We (& the group behind us) started complaining about the group in front of us on the 2nd hole to the worthless course marshal. The group behind us finally got so fed up they quit, we talked to the marshal at least 5 or 6 times to no avail!!! To spend $148, and then have that kind of disregard to complete lack of golf etiquette is not an enjoyable way to spend an ENTIRE afternoon. We considered demanding our money back, it was that bad!! Screw this overpriced place, there are lots of great course around that DO NOT tolerate this kind of bad golf behavior!

Wolfdancer... Great course layout and shape, but the fact that I had to wait 30 minutes to get a golf cart because they were all taken/used and the fact that the round took 5 hours and 30 minutes will mean I am never coming back. When asked the marshals and told them about the slow play they said there is "nothing we can do" and the course is "stacked". I play many golf courses that are "stacked" and never takes 5+ hours to play. Horrible, just horrible.
