ColoVista Golf Club

The course was in decent shape but needed better maintenance. Some traps had weeds growing in them. But the worst feature were the cart paths, if I can use that term ! They were more like riding on a horse trail with potholes ! They need to spend some money and make major improvements to the paths.

First time playing. Great course on hot deals!

Greens were a little slow and bunkers needed a lot of work.

Adapted and played through a nice course!

Very nice grill to eat at with incredible view!

Being in town on business I was just looking for a place to play a quick round. Found it on golf now for $10 so it was well worth the money. Wasn't the best or the worst I have ever played.

You can tell when they opened this course they spared no expense and the design is excellent. The sad thing is it's fallen into such disrepair. The greens were so-so and overall maintenance no longer exists. It is truly a great layout that is no longer cared for.

In spite of the friendly staff and the unique layout, I was disappointed in the course. The links style on the front side and forest/hills on the back made the round interesting. The back side had a couple of very interesting holes with changes in elevation. However, most of the fairways, especially on the front side, were ruined by weeds.

Drove down from Austin with a buddy to take advantage of $20 green fee & cart. The greens were surprisingly good, but the fairways need a bit of attention and work. The back nine is in better shape than the front, but the roughs are very rough around most of the course.

The course has a little of everything, from being open on the front nine with water to narrow fairways and trees on the back nine. It will test you.

Good layout

Poor condition

My wife and I are from Houston and played this course using a GolfNow Hot Deal so the price was very good. The day was sunny but there was a 3 club wind on most holes and it had rained hard the previous couple of days. The front 9 was down along the river and was flat and open so the wind killed us there. The tee boxes were uneven, the fairways were very bumpy and hard to tell where they ended and the rough began. Given the amount of rain i was surprised that it wasn't muddy except in a few spots which was a good thing. The greens were uneven but rolled decently.

The back nine was the saving grace. It is through the trees on the hills next to the river. The wind didn't affect us as much. More character to the golf holes. Saw 6 deer running across the green on hole 11 or 12 (don't remember exactly) but they didn't seem to have hurt the green any.

We played the Pine Forest Golf Course the next day and liked it a lot better. When we go to Bastrop to play golf in the future, we plan to play Pine Forest.

Pace of play is always good and can't beat getting to play 2 style of golf courses on one course. Front 9 u get link's style course. Then on the back u have to shape the ball around tree's and elevation changes. Plus never can beat the view off part 3 tee 15

This was my first time to play here since I played it several times when it was new. The course is coming along nicely. It was a real pleasure to play here again. The front 9 holes are fairly open and mostly flat, except for a couple of holes that have modest elevation change. I found the back 9 to be the tougher 9. It is largely tree lined with plenty of elevation change and a few sharp doglegs. Oak trees and pine trees frame it nicely. The back 9 places a premium on placement. I found the toughest stretch of holes on the course to be 14 - 16 which include significant elevation changes and two sharp doglegs. I didn't notice any significant impact to the course from the Bastrop fires a few years ago, although you can see the impact for the first couple of miles of the drive to the course from Highway 71. Kudos to the condition of the greens. I managed to get around in 25 putts. Overall, the course is fun, challenging, unique, and scenic. It offers a nice variety of holes and scenic views.

My first encounter with colovista was very nice. The greens were nice the course conditions were excellent. Nice carts. and at the end of my round the cart boy came to my car to get the cart overall 10/10 I will be coming back.

I booked this course through Golf Now as a "Hot Deal" at $18.00 greens fee including cart. If I had paid any more I would have complained more than I did. The excuse I got when I said something at the turn was "it's winter conditions and under new management", from the pro-shop. The front 9 was terrible and the back 9 was nicer but not kept well at all. The signature hole was a very nice view. I was expecting much more. The snack bar was closed, the grass was cut terribly, the greens were sandy, no over-seeding was done, the clover was so long that it held up play to find the ball, large holes were opened without caution markings, and with so many other courses to choose from this wouldn't be my choice.

I really enjoy the course... Needs work here and there, but all and all great bang for your buck! Staff is awesome! The person behind the counter called me to see if a pair of Bluetooth earphones were ours.. they were'nt, but we contacted the gentleman who joined our group. And they were his... the young man at the counter was who called. He was a very polite and concerned for our possible missing property. Never had a a course call me like that. Excellent customer service. Just that right there will keep me coming back. Thanks again Colovista! :) L.J.

I'd say an overall great experience. I know back in the late 90's when I played on a 5A golf team, the varsity team was always super excited to play here for a tournament. The course needs work on the bunkers and I'd make a few carts paths. Plus make sure the rough is mowed because I lost a sleeve of balls out in it. I'll play Colovista again. I found the new restaurant, the View had an awesome view, great for a date, and top notch on cooking me a grilled chicken sandwich that I took to go.

Played a Christmas Eve round here. Great course for the price. Front nine and back nine are very different. Front is wide open. You can just let loose with your driver. Back nine gets a little hairy with narrow, doglegged fairways. One of the par 4's on the back was shortened to a par 3 when we played...I think due to storm damage. Green were in nice shape. I'll definitely play here again.

first time in 8 years playing course, its getting back to where is was before closing. still a nice place to play!

Needs a little help with concessions and course conditions but overall a good experience.

The course was still a little wet from recent rains but it did not effect pace of play. The course is fun to play because of the variety of holes it has. Some with elevation drops to winding around hills with tall trees to gently up hill. The greatest disappointment is that the golf personnel just is not friendly. Did ask if we had played before, knew where the driving range was, needed range balls, drinks or anything else. There was no beverage cart or warning that if you want something on the course, take it with you now. I will go back to play again because the course is fun to play. Maybe the staff will have a better day.

Greens slow, needed mowed. Fairways typical Texas pasture grass. You need a seat belt to stay in the cart it was so bumpy. Maybe all the rain had something to do with it.. had a good afternoon. will probably play again. Will only us Golf Now and a good deal though.
