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 course needs the grass cut.

The course could of been so much better, it really needed the fairways cut to proper lengths. The greens had beautiful grass but were very slow.

The tons of friendly deer provided a pretty neat experience. Some of the holes had a great view.

I drove over 1 hour to play the course and wouldn't recommend it if you were in a similar situation.

This course is very scenic

I've played this golf course many times so it's one that I am very familiar with. I will continue to make the trip through the hill country to play here as long as the rates stay affordable.

Good layout, elevation changes make for unique holes, decent condition

Lago Vista has a layout that will keep you interested but it seems to be past its prime. The course seems generally old but it is a good value if you are not concerned with periphery type stuff (hole signs, ball washers, flag sticks). The grass on the tee boxes and fairways is a little long and the greens are just OK. Interesting doglegs require some precise shots and it is worthwhile to drive ahead to take a look at the blind shots if you're a first timer. It isn't a long course--if you drive the ball 250-260+ I would recommend playing the back tees. There are some nice views from a few of the tee boxes. Overall, a worthwhile trip.

Laga Vista Views at a great price.

I went out on 7/20 with a buddy and played 18 holes. They pace of play was a little slow due to a few 4-somes that were holding everyone up. We did wait on every tee box to tee off, but the views and wildlife made up for the waiting around in between shots. The tee boxes were well maintained as well as having great fairways. It was challenging with sand and trees and a little water being on the course. The greens could use some work. They were green, but long and rolled slowly.

This course is a fun and challenging course.

I liked the course, but it is a course that you have to play twice to really enjoy it . It has some holes that you need to know where to hit to have a second shot. I enjoyed the staff and the course and look forward to playing it again.

Nice place for a relax round of golf

Short if played from the whites. Nice scenery with many white tail deers around, reasonably maintained with decent greens. Couple of blind holes make it interesting to play.

Lots of great holes with scenery

Course was in good shape with some challenging holes. I wasnt prepared for all of the deer on the course. It was crazy seeing 6-8 deer on every hole on the front nine. I am used to deer running from me not walking up to me. It was alot of fun and I would certainly recommend this course to any type of golfer.

Good course, overbooked

The course is in fantastic shape...maybe could stand a mowing in the fairways but otherwise very green and lush. Greens were consistent even if my putter is not. The only problem - and it's a big one - was th pace. Somewhere after the turn a group skipped or rejoined and it ground to a halt. Waiting on every tee box and most approaches. This really killed the fun. We intended to play a 2nd 18 but we're too frustrated to stay.

Great value

Course was a great value. Course was the greenest I'd ever seen. Looked like they over seeded a little and were letting the fairways grow out, but still was nice. Greens were a little inconsistent in speed but they were soft and maintained very well. Enjoyed my round.

Pleasantly Suprised

This was my first visit to Lago Vista. The layout was challenging. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled smooth and true but slow compared to what I usually play. Great staff and food in the Grill. Scenic views and pace of play were great. You do need some local knowledge as there are some blind shots and the greens can be tricky to read. Will definitely be back.

Very Green. They got unlimited water supply!!

Owned by City of Lago Vista, they use the waste water plant grey water to water the course. Almost wet at times. But green like you were in Ireland. I think they keep the fairways cut a little long. Greens are nice and roll great. No dead spots that I can remember on a single one. I live in the area, so I play here at least once a week average. Weekdays are pretty open, especially in the afternoon. Weekends fill up. Find a burner deal on Golfnow. I played for $19 yesterday with range balls and cart.

Nice course

I played this course on a Tuesday morning and cruised through the front 9. On the back 9 I got stuck behind a group of retirees who couldn't hit the ball more than 100 yards at a time. Instead of letting me play through (like any normal group would do) I was forced to play at a incrediby slow pace. Overall the course was very nice and it was amazing how much wildlife there was there. The greens were in great shape.

Great Value for money

Greens are in excellent condition, and the fairways are in good shape. The grass is a little long on the fairways, but at least they are not dried out and hard. The rough is long and challenging in places, and fairly bare in other spots. All in all the course is in decent shape and well worth the price.

The course if very fair

The only problem i have with this course is that the staff does not keep the tee times in line and if you sign up with Golf now.com the group you are supposed to play with may have been sent off earlier and you are told to go ahead and play when you're ready.Well playing golf alone is not a whole lot of fun.When i sign up i look for a tee time that already has someone scheduled to play with you.

Fun course to play

Course is in great shape with outstanding greens! Doesn't seem like they try to pack in tee times so the pace of play is good with room between the groups. Also had a great lunch for a reasonable price
