Lost Creek Country Club

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.
