Lago Vista Golf Course
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.

The front nine was the worst that I have ever played. Maybe it was just the season. ???
The back nine was decent and enjoyable.

Great golf, great views!
Lago Vista GC is in pretty good shape overall. There were a couple of greens that need some attention, but overall you can't beat the price, and the location for some scenic views of Lake Travis. Staff is great and we're usually not rushed even on the weekends.
Inconsiderate Players
I've played this course twice now and both times I've had to skip a hole to pass up inconsiderate players. The course is awesome, but it seems the people who play here have no experience or just don't care to let faster players to play through. I may try again and see if I can get a full 18 in.
Good time for all
Green and fairways are rough this time of year. Still had a good time with friends. Good burger at cafe.
Lago vista golf course
Golf course average layout, many blind shots from the tee box. Conditions of the the greens overall extremely poor shape, only 2- 3 greens nice!? Asked the staff in pro shop if the course was busy, since i was playing by myself, no response!? Caught up to a group of two players on second hole, only three groups let me play through. Marshal was total useless, never asked any groups to let me play through, told me to slow down my pace, so I would not bother them during their round.Immediately in front of me, the group of a foursome took a minimum of 5 to 6 shots to get to the green even on par three holes. The members of that group could not hit the ball more than 100 yards!!? Maybe a group of players like that should play the red tees only! Or maybe they should show some golf etiquette, and let the single play through! This group was so slow playing that two groups of foursomes were climbing up my back side. Poor golf conditions, crazy blind tee shots all over the course and sad performance by golf staff equals poor golf experience for a avid golfer, do your self a favor, don't play here unless your looking for a pathetic/sorry golf outing!!?

I had a great time playing here! I scored very well (for me )! The greens were in good shape, beautiful views, wildlife galore (a fox actually sauntered across the fairway)! The staff person checking me in was super nice & helpful! Other golfers were very courteous and let me play through. The hills were a challenge as were the blind fairways. All in all a very fun day!
Course Review
The course layout is good. The views were great. Only problem was the greens. Front nine greens had little or no grass.
Thanks Tom Jennings
Great time
Played with my wife who is a beginner and we both had a great time. Some beautiful views of the lake.
Terrible Conditions - Uncaring Management
Played here many times and usually it's great. The conditions have deteriorated horribly. Greens have some fungus, no grass, craters. only crabgrass on tee boxes. When we complained to manager about full price for bad conditions he only said 'ok thanks' - won't be returning here for a looooong time.
Course was in poor condition, greens have a fungus and were 50% dirt, looks like a run down place that was probably nice 20 years ago.
Good value
Very inexpensive for monthly play
Greens are not in good condition but they are working on them. Challenging layout
Really enjoyed the golf
Could be the worst conditions I have ever played anywhere
Greens are gone. We just two putted and moved on. Tee boxes are mostly dirt. Sand traps are not being taken care of at all. Fairways have way too much dirt, needed to move ball to an area that had some grass. Won't be going back to this course.
Rough
I have played this course numerous times over the past 3 years and the course is in the roughest shape I have ever experienced. Maybe 2 greens are over 50% grassed and basically just said 2 puts per hole after on the green. Fairways spotty with winter kill. Will not play until maybe this fall to see if course comes back
Course conditions
The course has gotten into terrible shape with regards to tee boxes, most fairways and greens. The greens in particular were in really bad shape. No putt could be made without jumping off line. If I had known of these conditions I would not have booked this round at Lago Vista GC. I understand it is winter conditions, but other courses in the same area are in much better condition and playable. I would not recommend playing this course to other golfers at time.
Awful value
This round cost $40 and the course was in worse shape than a $15 muni! Greens were terrible, fairways were bare, and the course was basically in the worst shape ever!
