Had a great time playing 18 here with friends. The course was fun but tough and had some challenging greens as they are small, and the greens keeper must like challenging the players with their pin placement. The big draw was hole 17 with the railcar as your bridge to the green. Cool setting, nice quality of fairways and greens. Definitely worth checking off the golf bucket list. Cheers!

Disappointing Pace of Play Mars Otherwise Enjoyable Course at Lost Tracks
Our men's group played Lost Tracks Golf Course on July 12th with a 10:30 AM tee time, and while the course itself offered some enjoyable challenges, the excruciatingly slow pace of play significantly detracted from our experience. We didn't finish our round until 3:50 PM, an unacceptable duration for a mid-morning tee time.
We understand that golf courses can get busy, but the lack of engagement from management regarding pace of play was truly frustrating. We called the clubhouse twice to request assistance from a marshal, especially after being told earlier that the tee sheet ahead of us had some open spots. Unfortunately, our pleas seemed to go unheard. Upon finishing our round, a very nice gentleman informed us that management wasn't present, and he himself couldn't locate the marshal when he arrived at 1 PM. This indicates a clear oversight in course management and supervision. We were also advised that the average pace of play for Lost Tracks on a busy day can be five hours, which is certainly something to consider if you're planning a round.
On a positive note, the course itself was in decent shape. It boasts a good variety of fun doglegs, some challenging water features, and a nice difficulty level that would appeal to the average golfer. If the pace of play issues were addressed, Lost Tracks has the potential to be a highly enjoyable round.
However, given our recent experience with the exceptionally slow pace of play and the apparent lack of proactive management, we would strongly recommend considering other golf courses in the Bend area for your afternoon outing, unless you have ample time to spare. There are many other opportunities in the region, and we believe a more efficiently run course would provide a much more satisfying experience.

Nice course layout (1-2 holes close house in area). Friendly staff. Fairways and teeboxes in nice shape. Greens are in rough shape but hopefully will get better with warmer weather. Price was a little steep as I would have played in sisters again for $10 more. Think golf now deal during weekdays should start at 1 player not 2.

Megan gave us the best pro shop experience we’ve ever had. She was incredibly kind and welcoming to my wife and me—her hospitality truly stood out. We need more people like her in the world. She makes an already great course even better. Thank you, Megan!

This is a nice intermediate/challenging course. The greens are a little neglected and dry - odd given the rain that bend had last month. Rates are reasonable and the lodge has a great outdoor patio + BNQ grill. The range is not covered but there are several practice greens available. Carts all have GPS, which is a nice touch. I’d definitely play here again. Gorgeous scenery. Watch your food though - the chipmunks are serious about getting your food.
