Rating 72.6

The Lago Vista Course is Lago Vista resort’s original track, designed by Leon Howard in the late 1960s and renovated by Dave Bennett in 1992. The golf course has four water holes, more than 40 bunkers, and dramatic elevation changes of up to 100 feet. Lago Vista is known for its demanding par 3s, which all go right at 200 yards. No. 10 is fun because it can be reached in two: a 495-yard par 5 with a creek that looms right.

Getting to Lago Vista: From Austin, take Hwy. 183 north to FM 1431, then turn west 11 miles. When you come to Lohmas Ford Rd. turn left and drive 3 miles, then turn right on Boggy Ford R. Veer to the right and follow the signs to the golf course.

1st visit

I didn’t complete 18 holes. I was unaware that all golf carts have to be in by 7pm when I booked my 4pm Tee time. Overall I enjoyed the course. I will play it again.

Putting in the work

Still 3-4 greens that have sand patch marks, but the rest are rolling nice. And you can see they are putting the money into new irrigation all over the course. It could be special next year.

Better

I have not played this course in over 10 years, but I have kept up with reviews. Based on those, it appears that this course is making a comeback. Some tee boxes are a mess. Some greens have sand filled dimples. But overall it is a playable course and, for the Austin area, a cheaper option. There are some wide open holes and some holes requiring accuracy. Note: I still haven't figured out the best way to play #16. To the City of Lago Vista: Please continue to improve this course!

Course in great shape

Course is in great shape right now after all of the rain. Deer are the only issues they seem to be very aggressive.

Good Course

First time playing here. Staff was great. Course layout was great. Views of the Colorado river were good. Deer everywhere! Challenging course on some holes. The fairways were in pretty good shape. The tee boxes and greens, not so much. They need some.love and work! Overall I would play this course again.
