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.

Layout and Staff make this a ok course.

The layout and staff make this course a 3 star course. The greens had sand traps on them. The fairways were hit and miss. I know the area is under water restrictions right now but dang…..the greens were bad. But for 50.00 it wasn’t a horrible day.

Cart girl/bar staff/kitchen was all excellent.

Dry & Rough Greens

The course has the feel of the Hill Country and is a great option. However, the course is very dry and the greens are very rough. This course has a lot of potential but NEEDS a lot of daily water. Tough course with poor greens and blind shots.

All But the Greens

I'd really enjoy this course if it was kept in a little bit better shape. The greens have sand traps in them and bumps all over. The tee boxes were a little overgrown but that was probably due to the recent rain. If the greens were any better, this would be my go to course.

Mixed feelings

Love the views and layout of the course. Unfortunately, they can’t get their green situation fixed. Been patchy at best for years now.

Getting better

My dad’s wife has got us a free round the last 2 years for Christmas. This course has much improved since 2023. A few greens a patchy here in there but for the most part. I feel like this course is coming together

Improving

Haven't played this course in years, mostly due to the poor reviews about it's playing conditions. Was invited to play with a group this morning and was anxious to see how the course was fairing after reading and hearing some positive reviews. Unfortunately it was very cold and damp, but when you're with friends you play on and make the best of it. We started out on the back 9, and were only able to play about 6 holes before the rain set in. What I saw and experienced was encouraging. Yes there are multiple dead spots on the greens, but they weren't big and all-n-all rolled great and were very playable. The tee boxes and fairways are patchy and growing in areas. Judging from the reviews I've read and heard about the course prior to playing this morning I'd say the course is trending in the right direction, which is great because it really is a fun track to play!
