Lago Vista Golf Course
About
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.

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.
Good time
Good time, pace kept moving, beverage prices good and course played well.
We are so happy you enjoyed your round with us! We hope that you back really soon
Nice
This was my 1st time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. The course was in pretty good condition and for the money it was well worth it. I would recommend it if you have never been to Lago Vista.
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad your first time playing with us was such a success! We cant wait to see you back soon.
Great value
Great shape. Fairways and greens. Fast pace. Less than 4 hours in a foursome. Will return.
Thank you for reviewing us! We are very happy you were impressed with our course and the conditions. We cant wait to see you back soon
Nice changes in elevation
First time at this course. Changes in elevation make it challenging. Overall good shape for late winter including greens. Good value and some nice lake views. Overall very enjoyable.
We are so glad you came to our course for the first time and enjoyed your round! We hope you come back when the weather is better
Beautiful Green Fairways
This is a very fun, beautiful course. The course is very hilly and you get glimpses of Lake Travis from some holes. We loved the green fairways and the greens were in very nice shape. Pace of play was a little slow due to Men's day.
Thank you for the raving review! We are so glad you enjoyed your round and thought the conditions were in great shape! We hope you come back soon
Really enjoyed my round.
Loved the elevation drops and wildwife on the course. Greens were much better then expected. Play from the Golds if you want a true length to the course.
Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your round with us. We hope to see you back soon!
Hill Country Golf
Some crazy elevation changes on this course. It helps if you're grouped with someone who knows the layout. Fun golf nonetheless.
Thank you for the review! We hope you come back with some of your friends and family, so you will be the one who knows the 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????
Thank you for the awesome review! We are so glad that you loved our course and took notice of how work we work we keep the course well maintained. We hope to see you back very soon!
Beautiful Lake View Golf Course
What a great round at a great course! I really enjoyed the abundance of wildlife (deer, quail, rabbits, etc.) that call this beautiful course their home.
Thank you for reviewing us online! We are so happy that you liked our course and all the wildlife on it. We hope to see you back soon!
Slow round at Lago
I always enjoy the course but it was over booked 5 + hr. round takes the fun out of it
Thank you for reviewing us online. We are so sorry about the pace of play. Please email me directly for a promo code, so we can make up that experience for you. oliviateetimes@aol.com

Thank you for the review! We are glad you enjoyed the course. Remember that we offer the best rates online! We hope to see you back soon
This course has alot hills and spetaular veiws.
This was great course and should be played.
It is difficult but fair.
Fun Course, nice layout
Nice course, nice layout. Have played here many times. Course was in nice condition for this time of the year. Really enjoy playing here, actually playing here again tomorrow. Deer are plentiful.
Very scenic course
For being January the course was in excellent condition! Needs more yardage help but hey I should probably buy a range finder as well. Good course, will definitely be coming back!
Very pretty
A little challenging and very pretty. The course was in really good condition for this time of year.
Very friendly service
Great place.Scenery is awesome.Lots of variety.People are very friendly
inexpensive Hill Country fun
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.
Beautiful Setting & Excellent Staff
First time playing this course in 20 years. Really enjoyed the course, weather & hospitality. Scenery is beautiful. For the average golfer the course is enjoyable.
Scenery
Enjoyed the scenery. Course was in great condition. Just a bit intimated by the deer on the course, did not want to hit one. I would have cried. Overall just beautiful.
