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.

Good course if you catch a hot deal

First time playing this track and I enjoyed it quite a bit. 3 greens are under construction and the rest of the greens weren’t in the greatest shape, but the course layout is really fair. It rewards great shots and offers some forgiveness for bad ones. It’s a short course, so I’d recommend dropping back a tee box from where you might play at longer courses. Over all it’s worth playing and you’ll enjoy it. Especially if you don’t have to pay full retail.

Never again

Course overall was not in great shape. Greens were rough. There were actually several holes where the greens were being rebuilt so they had made makeshift greens in the fairway. Had this been known, we wouldn't have booked this course. Also, proshop and cafe closed so there was no way to get anything to drink. Overall I'd rate this course a 2 out of 10

Great Course!

I've been playing here regularly this year. It's a great course with friendly and helpful staff. I had been away for a couple of weeks.

I was surprised to find that the greens on holes 5, 6 & 7 are being re-done. They are gone actually - dug up. Temporary greens are in front of them. Calling them "greens" might be a bit of an overstatement.

The real kicker was that my GPS yardage and scoring app was off on the yardages and it didn't believe me when I entered my scores. :)

I will continue to play here.

Course layout

The layout is great fun with elevated tee boxes and great views of the lake and surrounding countryside. Unfortunately, the fairways and greens have not come in. Was able to find grass most of the time. Would play again as hoping grass will come in. Greens are undulated and provide a great challenge, but most have bare spots.

Beautiful scenery

This course is absolutely beautiful with hill country and lake views as well as great challenging hole up and down hill.

Some areas need maintenance e.g. the greens, but that just adds another challenge. I recommend this course anyway the beauty is priceless.

Great course and value. COVID-19 issues aside, it is great to have a course near me that is in very good condition. Greens were recently aerated, but still very playable. Continuous maintenance on the course is keeping it in very good condition.

Beautiful scenery, greens need work

It's a great course layout. A lot of fun surprises and views. The green need help, a lot of sand and dead spots. Made it real tough in the morning when it was wet. When the greens make a come back (fingers crossed) this is a fun course. Clubhouse was closed due to covid so can't speak to that. I'll be going back, just hope the greens come back around by then.

Greens Need Work

If you can ignore the shape of the greens, it's not a bad layout for the most part. I will admit hitting into blind areas without course knowledge was somewhat frustrating. The pro shop and dining area are nice. The range is small, but fine. The green fees are relatively low, but I probably won't be back unless they fix the greens.

A challenging course

From the first tee to the last green you are being challenged to execute playmaking shots of various types. The fairways are short at the moment but should improve in the near future. Greens are fast, and need springtime growth to fill out.

Highly recommend the course.
