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.

Lago Vista

This day was cart path only. First few holes were rather soggy from all the rain. Back nine was much drier. Greens were rather slow. Played in 4.5 hours. Considering cart path only this was a good pace of play.

Disappointed

I chose to take my brother here while he was visiting from out of town because of some of the great reviews. It was my first time too and will likely be my last. I was extremely disappointed in the condition of the course. It seemed as if the fairways hadn't been cut in weeks, same with the greens. There was barely a difference between fairways and rough and the greens seemed more like fairway. It's too bad too because the views are awesome. I'm not sure if this is normal but I won't be making the 40 minute drive again to find out.

The course is in a beautiful area.

The course was in pretty good shape but it had rained a bunch all week and therefore it was very wet and soggy. This is not the golf courses fault therefore I can't say anything bad about it. But the greens could've definitely been in better shape. Overall for the money and the great views it is definitely worth a round or two. I want to catch it when it's sunnier though.

Partial Rain Out - But Still Great

The condition of Lago Vista was significantly better than any of the Sun City (White Wing, Cowan Creek, or Legacy Hills) or Berry Creek courses that I have played recently. It was a true pleasure to hit off fairways that had a cushion of grass.
The course was a challenge with the terrain, water, hazards, blind shots, etc. but was fun for our threesome. We put it on our play it again list. Since none of our group had played it in recent memory, a course layout book would have been helpful.
We were caught between waves of significant weather, but at the turn stopped for lunch which was good. We aborted after 14 holes on the back because of lightening and thunder. Luckily, we found our way back to the clubhouse; we were rain soaked but safe to relax with a pitcher of beer. We had a good time.
As others have commented the practice area is somewhat ratty and grass is worn, but the course otherwise is great.
We are seniors and the use of a medical flag for the other cart made it possible for my other two golf buddies to play. They want to play it again too!

fun course great condition

Came down from Michigan to golf and played multiple courses in nw Austin. Lago vista and highland lakes were our favorites. Bluegrass was lush and courses were in great shape. Breakfast at lago was cheap and very good. Unbelievable number of deer on course. Was cool. Few blind shots but those can be fun. Lots of elevation changes. Hoping to come back next year.

A little gimmicky

First and foremost, all staff were very friendly and greens were rolling great. I had heard this was a nice course so I booked a great rate on golf now. My first time to LV Golf club and I had to call for directions on my way in as I was lost in the neighborhood. Was told at club house that GPS doesn't work well in that area. Then range was closed so it was tough to warm up. The course felt very gimmicky to me, way too many blind shots where you would have to drive up the fairway to see if it was ok to hit, then back to tee box. I can see that slowing a round down during prime time. Thank goodness I played at 730am. Many holes with trees in the middle of the fairway, hole 9 felt like a hole you would see on a putt putt course, tree in the fairway, multiple rolling hills to a green so slanted back into the hills you just came down, the only thing missing was a clowns mouth and a windmill. I shoot 85-92 so I'm not advanced, but not a beginner either, the round was just not enjoyable. Will definite play Highland Lakes in the future, but probably not LV.

Course in Great Condition

Very lush fairways and smooth fast greens. Undulation on the greens make it more difficult. Some greens hard to hold but over all great course in great condition. Really enjoyed 18 holes here. Friendly staff and beautiful condition. You have to know where to hit some of your drives. A couple of blind shots necessary. Especially No. 9. Loved it! Want to go back again. I had several frustrating three putts.

Best winter course in the greater Austin area

I could not believe how green the tee boxes and fairways were at Lago Vista. A club member was paired up with us and explained that they plant rye grass in the winter to keep it looking green. The elevation changes are spectacular. The greens are in excellent shape. It is a really fun course to play. More than worth the drive.
