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.

Friendly staff, golfers, and a course that has potential but not quite there.

Worth the trip but really hope someone takes initiative (would require funding) to take this course from so-so to great. A lot of blind shots and not a course to walk. Played with 4 locals who were a fun group.

Gorgeous views

For a hot day in August, the course is in great shape. Greens and fairways were in fine shape. I hadn't played out here in more than 10 years and was glad we picked this course. Pace was slower than would expect, but will plan on going back again.

Great job

Great job by the course maintenance guys to keep the course in as good a shape as it is despite the heat and lack of rain.

Only issue was the lack of a starter.

Tee boxes could use some work

Nice course. Challenge was there. All of the tee boxes were St. Augustine and not in good shape. Difficult to low tee irons and hybrids off of.

LOVED all the deer on the course!

Friendliest Course in Texas!

I just had my best game ever (almost broke 100) I am still a beginner (16 months) and I have played this course several times and call it my home course. It is grea for beginners as it does not have many water hazards or sand traps and the ones that are there are easy to manage. Beautiful scenery and plenty of deer to aim at :)

a central texas staple

such a very player friendly course. Just the right amount of challenge. The greens were soft, but very slow and in need of a cut but overall very good value for the money

Fun golf course with a great grill and friendly staff.

This is a typical muni from the condition standpoint but has a great / fun layout with scenery and wildlife that really make it a course I recommend to anyone who loves to play!

Greens sandy & punched

Played day after storm and the corse had not been mowed, understandable but made for very poor conditions. Greens were sanded, punched and very slow and rough.

Great Challange

Great course. I would have liked to have more time to play the entire 18 holes. The 9th hole was interesting with t shot to what seemed like the edge of the earth. I have not played a course that had so many massive changes in altitude! Course was good but not too challenging for a high handicapper like myself. I know some of the T shots were intimidating and awe inspiring like the par 5 hitting off the hill to a very wide fairway. Great course I look forward to playing there in the future.

Great Deal

We got a "hot deal" on golfnow for $25/golfer. For what we paid, we were more than pleased. The facilities weren't anything special, but the course conditions were some of the best I've seen for a public course.

While we're young

I have played Lago Vista for three years or more now, and the pace of play is consistently slow. there should be no problem getting around that coarse in 4 hours.

Please start getting them on a 4 hour pace.

Will Be Back

Played this course for the first time on Friday. Enjoyed it enough to come back on Sunday. Staff was friendly and helpful. Grill is great. The course is in really good shape for this time of year and considering the other courses I have played lately. Fairways are soft and layout is beautiful and challenging to a high handicaper like me. Greens are really good. A few had a bare spot on them but most were excellent. Had trouble putting though because they were so slow compaired to the greens I have been playing.

Other than a couple of missplaced trees fun course and great bargain

I always enjoy playing at Lago because the price is right and the course is always in good shape even during a drought. Fairways and greens are always in good shape and are fair. I hate the tree on #11 but other than that no complaints.

I love Lago

Lago is my preferred course. The staff is incredible, always welcoming and friendly. The course is fun and always in good shape. It will bewilder you at times, with blind fairways, elevation changes and undulating greens. Keep your head and don't try to muscle your way around and you will have fun. There is no where else I would rather play. My brother and I play here weekly. It is almost like home to us.

Fun Course

I played here yesterday and enjoyed myself. I played it once about 15 years ago so I didn't really remember the layout. I rated the course conditions 4 only because some of the greens were a little beat up. Overall its a great layout with not a lot of water and the views on some of the holes are awesome. The staff was great and the facilities were nice. I'll definitely be going back.
