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.

Seriously Nice Course

First time here and I have to say this course is really fun to play. In GREAT condition best grass I've seen all winter. Great view of the lake. Only knock is a need for some local knowledge due to a lot of blind shots. Could really use pictorial for each hole. But still a wonderful time Even saw a few deer cross the fairway on the first tee.

It's a great course. I'll happily drive 35 minutes to play this course for about 2/3 of what other comparable courses closer to the city go for. We enjoyed our round thoroughly.

fun course

Course in very good shape for this time of year. Enjoyable round. Several holes had blind tee shots so local knowledge would be helpful. A corporate outing was ahead of us,so front nine was very slow. Marshall finely got us past these groups and course was open in front. Still a 5 hour round. I will play this course again.

Nice, but slow

Nice course, well maintained, but pace of play was slow on a Saturday afternoon. I was stuck behind a couple of foursomes and it took a little over 5 hours for the round.

Good value forthe price

Greens were pitted in spots and a bit bumpy. Fairways were patchy and on the rough side. Greens fee was only $25 and for that price my expectations weren't very high.

Lake Views are nice

Lago Vista is Spanish for Lake View and the course offers that and more. The back nine is more challenging than the front, but the back has the best views. It's a fun place to play and the staff is friendly and courteous.

Good course

Wide fairways and rough that is not difficult to play from make this course enjoyable, particularly if you are not familiar with it. There are some well placed trees and bunkers that add challenges, without being so difficult that is discourages the average golfer. This is a very good course to play if you are out for a day of good fun.

The staff was great - very friendly and accommodating.

Walked

Nice course

Buddy and I drove out from Pflugerville, had a hot deal for $14 each on a Sunday 11am. We traded the cart for two buckets of balls, and we walked it. We like to walk, and usually the course just lets us get balls to hit if we don't want the cart if we paid for it through Golf Now. Anyway, Joined by a single at the first tee who had been playing the course for 15 years and was a real nice guy and had some helpful advice on several holes. Another single caught up and joined at #3 tee box and we played as a foursome. Greens were great; fast enough and rolled true. Fairways were in good shape. Some really beautiful views on several tee boxes and nice drive getting out there. Lots of hills but not an unreasonable walk. Always a better experience walking the course. For the price it was a great time for all of us!

Course was very wet do to recent flooding rains in central TX so cart path only. This slowed play a good deal. Other than the wet conditions the course was in excellent condition and we enjoyed play and plan to come back.

Lago Vista Golf

Course was over seeded this week so the fairways, greens and teeing areas were shaggy (unable to mow). The Bermuda fairways were still pretty decent and in much better condition than nearby Highland Lakes course (goat ranch). Traps were playable but somewhat inconsistent. Front nine is more open and forgiving but back nine is much more challenging.

Best Course in Northwest Austin

Challenging, tremendously maintained, best staff in Austin. Food is great, people are friendly...views are amazing, price is beyond fair especially thanks to Golf Nows regular specials on tee times. Personally your best bet for golf in North Austin.
