About
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.

Lago Vista GC
The greens are in horrible shape now but the track itself is challenging. The drought hasnt helped the course conditions. Three temporary greens and two others that need immediate repair. My wife and I played at 11:30 yesterday and were the only ones on the course- a combination of hot weather and rough course conditions. Overall, it it is good value and the staff there is incredible. We hope it survives because it is a great place to play.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Horrible greens
I understand this time of year in Texas it is difficult to keep up course conditions, but the greens were some of the worst I’ve played. There was maybe one or two greens that were actually up to par with other courses.

Under Maintenance
Great course layout which was likely a beautiful course at one time. Greens are in really bad condition. Fairways are solid. Views are great.
Good value for the price of you don’t have other options.

Greens
Course has potential but the greens are flat out horrible. They are attempting to work on them but who knows how long it will be until they are in passable shape.

Please Invest in Your Greena
This place has a ton of potential but the quality/complete disregard for the greens was extremely disappointing and a deal killer for any future rounds. Told me “4-5 greens are temporary”. But failed to mention the other 14 are in complete disarray. The tee boxes weren’t even cut. The course should have more integrity to at least let guests know what they are paying for. Extremely extremely disappointing.
It’s the little things that make a huge impact on golfers and I wish someone would help LVGC realize that. I’d suggest taking the money spent on fancy new golf carts and reinvesting that into your greens.

We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Lago Vista Golf Course!
Worst course Ive played
You can’t even put on any of the 18 greens. Layout is nice and carts are brand new. Should of put that $ into the course. I’ll never be back.
We’re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We value our customers' opinions and would like to make things right. Please contact us directly at the pro shop at (512) 267-1170 Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Still want to love it but needs a ton of work
I have been playing this course for years. The layout is fine and can be a bit challenging on some holes. The greens are an absolute wreck. Several unplayable/temporary greens. Fairways are either a wet mess or a dry dessert. Tee boxes are uneven and overgrown or dead. There is so much potential but they have been struggling with the greens for years now. I don’t understand why they cant grow grass.
Pluses are it was only $24.50 with hot deal and juniors are free. I have.a 16 year old who plays and there is no other course that offers that kind of deal. No beer cart and no just plain hot dog so plan on bringing your own.
I really want to love this course again but it is only for the rec golfer who wants to have some fun at a cheap price.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team as we are working to make improvements. Thanks for visiting Lago Vista Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Lago Vista never again!!
I was sincerely disappointed, decided to try this course because they had earlier t times to beat Texas heat. I wouldn’t pay a dime over $20 with cart for this course. The putting greens are in terrible shape at every hole except for 2. This course has potential if it was well taken care of, won’t be playing here ever again. 1 star!!

The greens... omg, the greens
Course has a nice layout and followed with some amazing views. That is all you get for 50 bucks while playing this course. The tee boxes were awful. Fairways were worse then tee boxes. The greens.... omg the greens. Weeds and sand bunkers on the greens, this is pitiful and the absolute worst course I've ever seen. I would come back if the cost for a round was 20 bucks, that's the only way I come back.

Terrible management.
The tee boxes and greens were terrible. Literally weeds growing in the greens.

Greens unplayable
The greens were totally unplayable- not even really what I would consider golf.

Terrible
I’m not a great golfer but when I spend my off days to pay to golf I like when there at least appears to be effort in maintaining the course. Stood there waiting to check in for 10 minutes with no one around, the course was absolutely atrocious. The greens were worse than the dessert rough. Literally not a good patch of green grass on the “greens”.
