Lost Pines Golf Club

Bastrop

The course is very dated, built in the 1930's, and typically not in the best condition. The front nine is the original nine and not very exciting - fairly flat and traditional with a couple fun holes. The back nine was built in late 1980 and is a lot more fun with rolling hills and challenging holes. Read our review of Lost Pines Golf Club.

A true desert course where it's hard to tell the difference between the fairway and the desert.
