Lost Creek Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Lost Creek opened in 1970, featuring a 6,623-yard, par 72 layout that has hosted Sectional Playability Tests for aspiring PGA members over the years. The traditional design features narrow, tree-lined fairways, creeks that roll through the course and come into play on a many holes, and well-conditioned greens.
The back nine is known for its two solid par 3s. No. 10 starts the side with a 147-yard carry over water, and the longer 18th finishes the round off with a 187-yard carry over water.
Other notes: Co-architect Terry Dill grew up in Fort Worth, graduated from UT Austin in 1962, then gave it a go as a pro golfer for over a decade. When that didn’t work out he went back to UT for his law degree and then became a professor at Texas A&M. In 1991 he got the urge for golf again and joined the Senior PGA Tour.
Getting there : From I-35 north, take Ben White Blvd exit and go west. This turns into Loop 360. Exit Lost Creek Blvd. and turn left. The course is 2.5 miles down the road, and the entrance is on the right.

Pleasant private club along the banks of Barton Creek
Set on low ground beside Barton Creek west of Austin, Lost Creek Country Club, part of ClubCorp, gets a fraction of the press of its next door neighbors, Barton Creek Country Club & Resort as well as Austin Country Club.
Opening about a decade before Barton Creek in the early 1970s, Lost Creek is designed by a lesser-known architect and lacks a lot of the bells and whistles of the top private golf clubs in Central Texas. But there is some beauty in that. The course is fairly simple and flat, but walkable and very scenic, with hardly any housing presence and some neat trees and creeks intermixed. We zipped around 18 holes in three hours easily. There are a lot of forced carries but it's hardly as intimidating as modern Hill Country clubs, which makes this course pretty appealing for families. The course only tips out at about 6,600 yards, so the area's best players might crave a little greater challenge.
The course, like a lot of places in town, did take it on the chin a little bit during the area's record spring flooding, so some tee boxes on the back nine are in the middle of being rebuilt, but besides that the conditions were quite good.
