I’m not a huge fan of snakes and such BUT... when my kids make me go to these places it’s not that bad. It’s really cool to see all of the different species. This place was fun for all ages.

Rising Phoenix Adventures

Reviewed By seanhock

On November 6, 2020 I found myself at Rising Phoenix Adventures in Bastrop, Texas trying to get my bicycle repaired so that I could continue my cross-country bicycle journey. I found out that Rising Phoenix does NOT offer bicycle repairs, but more importantly I found out that the owner, Jamie has a HEART OF GOLD!!! Jamie is an extremely kind and generous person who stopped what she was doing and personally drove me all the way to Austin, Texas so that my bicycle could be repaired that same day. Jamie even waited for the repairs to be completed and drove me back to Bastrop, Texas so that I could promptly continue my epic journey. This generous act of kindness was all done without any charge/fee to me. Jamie did it all out of the goodness of her heart! If your adventure group is treated even half as good as Jamie treated myself (a non-customer), then you will be very happy with your experience with Rising Phoenix Adventures and owner, Jamie!!!

Stay and play packages available, open 7 days/week, go online or call the Pro Shop for your tee time.

We stayed at the cottages with 16 of our closest friends, played 3 days of golf and were treated outstanding by Bobby, his wife Julie and the rest of the staff. Course is a bit rough in spots but the effort bringing it back is coming along nicely. Hole #15 is one of the most picturesque par 3’s anywhere.
