Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa

The property

Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa sits east of Austin along the Colorado River, a geographic contrast to the limestone Hill Country terrain that defines most of the region's golf. The 490 keys, 434 guest rooms and 56 suites, spread across a property whose scale matches its programming: Lost Pines Golf Club on site, an 18-room spa, the Crooked River Water Park, equestrian facilities, 18 miles of hiking trails, kayaking, archery, trap shooting, and nightly s'mores around a firepit.

What to expect

The deepest non-golf programme in the Austin corridor. The water park and stables make it the most family-compatible base in the area, and groups travelling with non-golfers will find the schedule manages itself. The on-site course, designed by Arthur Hills with Steve Forrest and Associates and formerly known as Wolfdancer, runs through rolling prairie for the front twelve before dropping into the Colorado River valley through the pines that give the resort its name. Green fees range from $68 to $215 depending on season and booking channel, and the course is open to outside play as well as guests. The eastern position adds roughly thirty minutes to drives toward the Hill Country, worth weighing for itineraries that string in Falconhead or Vaaler Creek alongside the on-site round.

Rates and booking

$200 to $350 nightly. Best suited to family trips and groups who want a lot more than golf packed into the days. Book direct for Hyatt loyalty points or through your preferred travel platform.
