Lost Tracks Golf Club
2 reviews for Lost Tracks Golf Club
DISCLAIMER: I am not a golf fanatic. You know how some people go to parties "for the food"? Well, I play golf for the beer and for the cigars. And also because my boyfriend is an avid and MAD-talented golfer. So what you are going to read here is a non-golfer's review of a golf course. What's pretty, what's not, and any other random thoughts that come to mind. If you want a technical evaluation of a golf course, including whether the tee boxes are level (apparently that's important)... this is NOT the review for you. I suggest you read the other reviews here (if there are any) or go buy one of those fancy-schmancy golf magazines. K? K!!
I took lessons here, through Bend Parks & Rec. The instructors (Dylan and Bob) were great. They were able to explain all the golf techniques, etiquette, and course play really well. I would take lessons from them again!
The course is really pretty, and along the way you get to gawk at some really big, expensive houses. But don't go into their yards to chase after golf balls since it's private property.
The signature hole has a bridge built from an old train car. Really unique, and way cool!
I came across this course during a bachelor party, and I was thoroughly impressed by it. The greens are well maintained as well as the rest of the course, and for the price ($49 for 18) it was a great deal. I would have liked one or two more Par 5s, but that is my only minor gripe. There are a lot of dog legs, so it really tests your driving ability and placement. The signature hole is at 16, where it is a faux-TPC Sawgrass island green. Aside from dropping three consecutive balls in the drink, the hole was fantastic. There is an old box car filled with nick-knacks that are fun to look at and slow up the people behind you. Overall, this is the best course I've played.
