Standing at a height of 9 feet with a length of 305 feet, this buttress-style structure holds a normal storage capacity of 6 acre-feet with a surface area of 1.4 acres. The dam, completed in 2003 with uncontrolled spillways, has undergone modifications to enhance its hydraulic capabilities.
Despite its recreational purpose, the Lost Creek Golf Club Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of February 2015, with a moderate risk rating. The dam, inspected every two years, holds an outdated emergency action plan and lacks updated inundation maps. With a hazard potential currently unavailable, the dam remains a vital structure regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to ensure safety measures are enforced and inspections are conducted. The dam's strategic location in Benbrook, just 5 miles from the city, adds to its significance in managing water resources and climate-related risks in the area.
