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.

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.

One of best played in Austin area on a 7 day golf trip.

One of the best courses we played in Austin area and we played some that cost over twice as much. It was hands downs the greenest. Some of tee boxes needed a steam roller they were arched from side to side. A few little things added to this course would make it great. Paint the red white & blue yard markers on cart path(very simple) had to take your best guess on yardage out from green. added Highland Lakes gc for $13. (can't beat that).Can't leave out the deer hanging around the course.

A Little Gem

Find this gem out in the hill country close to Lake Travis, very good condition, well manicured, good facilities, some very challenging holes, some not so but fun. Fairways were green, greens were in great shape. Really enjoyed playing Lago.

Members are rude

Course was in great shape. Busy because of great weather. It would have been nice if a marshal would have been present. Had a group of 5 members who refused to let anyone play through, held up the entire back 9. Called the clubhouse to get a marshal sent over and he/she never showed. Had another pair of members who were very rude. Doubt that I will return, even though I really like playing the course.

Up and down.

This is a hilly course. I was fun and some poorly designed holes. Nine is blind driving par 4. You better look before you use a driver on this hole as you will be in a yard left or right.
