ColoVista Golf Club

Love this course, played it a bunch in the past. It was closed for some time and now the POA owns it and it is run by Billy Casper Golf. Love the lay out with links style on the front nine and tons of trees on the back. I think it still needs a lot of work. It is winter and grass is dormant but the greens were almost more dirt than grass, call it brown grass. The fairways and ruff areas were either soggy from over watering and there were tons of weeds everywhere. I had a voucher from a previous cancelled round so I got it for $29.15 pp which is a great price considering the shape of the course. Give this another year under the new directors and I fell that they will bring it back to what it use to be.

The course and facilities are in great shape now they need to work on getting food service and gear in the pro shop.

We have been playing Colovista multiple times since it opened back up. The course is looking good. We normally play on weekdays so getting a round in 4 hours is easy. The fairways are open on the front nine but a bit tight on the back nine. The greens are complex with multiple breaks so playing there often helps.

Seems like this course is going down hill. I played it earlier in the year and it was in better shape. I think this will probably be the last time I ever play this course.

The staff is friendly and the fairways and greens are in good shape, overall.
The front 9 fairways are protected by water and sand traps, while the back 9 is tighter, as fairways are carved through the trees. As a result, a few of the greens had an excessive amount of leaves on them and putting was impossible without clearing a path through the leaves. Perhaps a greens keeper could control that with a leaf blower a couple of times a day during the Fall golf season.

Course is in fair condition. Cart paths need major repair, the day we played there was nothing to eat other than a few snacks.

This is a decent course to play in a pinch. Kinda rough all around ie..greens, fairways, and cart paths but not a bad place to play. I think the $29 Monday green fee was a little steep after playin the course but would play it again for $20. Too many other courses in the area that are in better shape for either the same or less price. JF

Course still recovering from being closed for 4 years. I strongly recommend that you play there now before it gets completely refurbished & the price goes up and it gets overcrowded. It is definitely worth the trip.

Though the course has reopened under new ownership in the last 1.5 years, there is still quite a bit of re-investment and TLC this course needs to bring it back to the prominence it once had. Sand traps are overgrown with weeds and brush on many of the holes.

Greens are in fairly good shape as are the fairways. Not a lot of staff around on a Sunday morning. Not a lot of players around on a Sunday morning for that matter. Time and money --- that's all the place needs.

With a modest financial investment, this course could be one of the top courses in the Austin area.

Clean up the bunkers. Grass is where sand should be. Raking all the bunkers to start the day, would be a big improvement .

A little edge work would go a long way.

I played here on a recommendation of a friend, the front nine is fairly benign,the back nine much more interesting and challenging and visually pleasing. The course condition was below average, wild grass growing in the fairways, slow greens soggy spots around the greens due to over watering.

This would be a much better course with better attention to the course conditions.

This was our first time playing this course since it re-opened. It was closed for 8 - 10 yrs. New owners have done a good job of getting course in playable condition after being dormant so long. Hopefully they will continue to upgrade and maintain course and it will eventually be in the condition it was when it initially opened.

The course and the staff are great, and they have nice improvements planned for the facilities. The front nine is forgiving, and the back nine will test your course management, making it fun to play. It's one of the best maintained courses in the area.

Played a month ago and the best part were the greens. Today, the greens were extremely fuzzy, slow and bumpy. Lots of brown and bare areas on the fairways and around the greens. Living in Bastrop, I'm really trying to support this course, but they're making it really hard because conditions seem to be getting worse. You can play Pine Forest for half the price and the course is so much nicer. I'll try ColoVista again next summer, but they have a lot of work to do!!

We had a great time playing this course over the weekend. Been 2x before the fire, and was not sure what to expect. Course was in great shape considering the drought. We had an early tee time, so the greens were nice and wet :)
Enough of a challenge to keep you interested, but the clean air and peaceful surroundings were excellent. Though it's a drive from Austin, if your in the area give it a try.

I had not played ColoVista since it closed. After the big fire there I thought for sure the course was gone. But I was pleasantly surprised that it was almost a good as before. The course was untouched by the fire and the views remain majestic as before. It was a hot day but the refreshing breezes in this part of the hill country made things feel really great. ColoVista is back!

There is nothing wrong with this course that a little rain would not fix. The fairways are in good condition and the greens are fast and run true.

Three of my foursome had never played there and they were all pleasantly surprised and want to go back. The links/parkland combination and the changes in elevation are wonderful.

Decent layout, poor condition. I would not play here again until they cleaned up the course.

SEVERAL BUNKERS ARE STILL GROUND UNDER REPAIR AND HAVE BEEN FOR LONG TIME. GREENS ARE IN FANTASTIC SHAPE.

Played the course for years before it closed and I was excited to see it reopened. Greens and course were in great shape. And the views were beautiful. Had to go off the back nine because of seniors skin games. So get there before nine or you will have a long wait. They will not let you pass and super slow. I strongly suggest you play Colovista. Great value and challenging course.
