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 BEST winter golf course we've seen in two months

Who would have thought that Lago Vista would have the BEST winter golf course in the $50-80 per player range in Central Texas?

Myself and my wife are avid golfers and get in two or more games a week in a 70 mile circle around Austin Texas. As we drove up to Lago Vista last weekend we were totally shocked at seeing fully green fairways, roughs, tee boxes, and greens. Everywhere else we've golfed hav dead fairways, dead roughs, barely alive tee boxes, and greens that have micro-mountains.

The gas powered carts are fully maintained and have all the power you need for a fully loaded golf care when you tackle one of the many hills on the course.

The Grounds Keepers should be proud of their course.

The only problem we have is the extra-super small practice ball bucket you get with your GolfNow.com purchase. There was just over 20 balls in there. Really????

My dad, Brother and I have been playing Lago for years. Cheap...beautiful views....challenging but not too tough. Would be difficult to walk.... Pops describes it as a "billy Goat Course"....thats why they have gas carts..... enjoy it like we do.

nice layout

fairways were wet and the grass was long, played longer, where did all this wetness come from [no rain in the last 3 weeks], the greens were a little on the slow side, nice layout on the holes with doglegs and elevation changes, unfortunately we were following a ladies outing , enough said, lots of deer

Good For The Money

Course was in pretty good shape -- despite drought and the lake being so far down, it's well watered; one should appreciate their effort, especially for how much you're paying. If you should get paired up with a regular, take in all the local knowledge you can get out of them -- greens are large, and with only rudimentary yardage information, you're liable to add a half dozen strokes to your score through misclubbing. Bunker conditions are also a problem. Overall, though, you're getting a good deal for your round, and there are some fun holes and nice views.

Long drive to a course that is in poor shape!

I called the golf shop and asked if the course was in good shape. They answered with Yes, its if great shape. It is a 1.5 hour drive for me to get there. Upon arriving, I found the fairways, tee boxes and other areas, havent been mowed in quite sometime. Also, alot of bare spots on fairways.
A perfect drive (I had many), would be followed up by hitting out of the dirt or tall rough in the center of fairway. False advertising!

Wonderful Course

A great course that offers challenges for beginners as well as advanced players. The course is always kept in very good condition even in the heat of the summer fairways are still in excellent condition. Greens are always kept nice as well. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Definitely well worth the drive and your time!
