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.

Beautiful lake view golf course

It is a beautiful lake view and hilly golf course. If you like to see nature life and it is a wonderful place for you. The elevation change is quite challenging in the back 9 holes. The length of golf course is longer, but the fairways are very wide and you won’t lose a lot of balls. The downside is The fairways is very hard.

Still good!

Had not played LV for quite sometime. I was actually quite impressed with the condition of the course although it does appear that the course could do with a little bit of water.Greens were quite lush and very slow though.

Some tee boxes required a nailgun to get a tee in the ground but STILL, very good value for money!.

Fairways are improved from all the rain this year. Many greens have bare spots and the tee boxes were rock hard. Overall, it is a four star layout with 2.5 star conditions.

Everything was great except for the mower.

Let me start by saying that I've played this course numerous times and it is typically a very enjoyable round--which is why I don't mind making the 45 mins drive from Austin.

However, the last couple of times I've played we had to wait for the landscaper to mow the green... as we were waiting to hit our approach. This went on for the first 4-5 holes and in caused a noticeable backup.

As you can imagine, this was a bit frustrating.

My only ask would be to make sure that this is being taken care of earlier in the morning before the first group goes out.

Fun layout

The bad: The greens were in very bad shape and were not consistent. There were massive dead spots on every green (Do not hit one of those spots with a chip) Some of the greens were very slow while others were much faster.

The fairway grass was too long. Basically, every lie in the fairway was a flier lie meaning you couldn't spin the ball to stop it on the greens.

The good: The layout is good if a bit short. There are a lot of interesting holes and you will be called upon to hit a variety of shots. There are some truly magnificent views around the course.

Other stuff: I was encouraged to not walk the course, but I definitely could have. There are some holes (15) that will tax you if you walk, but it wouldn't have been too bad.

Overall, for only paying $20 it wasn't a terrible course, but I did find myself getting frustrated at hitting what I thought were good putts and watching them come up several feet short or blast past the hole because the greens were different speeds.

Great layout, lousy greens

Most if not all the greens were in very poor shape. Dead grass, sand and dirt. I understand that they are determining whether to spend in excess of 1 mill to redo the greens.

The fairways, tee boxes etc were in excellent condition.

The layout and views of the countryside are beautiful.

Meh!

The layout is good. Challenging at times but a lot of fun. However, the greens are terrible and the pace of that play is horrid. The 19th hole is nice with good food. Emotional roller coaster with you walking away saying meh!

Layout of the course was good and the scenery was very good..Tees and greens were full of fungus especially the greens...

Putting was the worst greens were black and and looked as if mud caked the surface it’s also as if they set it on fire to burn off the fungus...

Very rough greens with sand and fungus ruined the game playing ...

Will likely never come back and I play often with travels between Chicago and Austin area...

If you are a serious golfer, do not play here

If you’re trying to improve your game or even keep score seriously for that matter, go somewhere else. The cheaper green fees (relatively) are tempting to jump at but the greens and tee boxes and many parts of the fairways are abismal.

Disappointing experience - will not be back this year.

Was told the greens were not in great shape. This was a major understatement. I was not told that the tee boxes and fairways were also very bad. Lots of work needs to be done. Early conditions? Maybe. But I can say if I had paid more than $25 I would've been very upset. Course layout not bad. It may have been good in the day but I can tell you that this was likely the worst conditions I've ever experienced on any golf course, period.
