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 course for the money

Great course with a fantastic pace of play. I finish !8 holes between 2 and 3 hours consistently. The greens are still a work in progress. The fairways are very hard so expect your ball to kick on landing and run

Improving

Lago only has one unplayable green now, big improvement. Fairways still need more water, to many shots off dirt, but an improvement to what it was.

Course is looking good again

I have played this course twice in the last two weeks. I know there is some bad reviews on the site but they are outdated now. Go play and you decide. There are two holes they are still working and one I know is the 7th green.

Enjoy!

Lago Vista Golf Course

I read recently about this course and I have played there twice in the last two weeks and I really enjoyed myself. Shot very good scores and pace was excellent. It was like I was the only one on the course. There two holes they are working on,7 green and t I don't remember the other.

If you go thru Golf Now you can score a great rate! I paid $30.00 both times.

This is a beautiful course with good views. Its a shame that the lake is so low!

Great Value Course

Amenities are very poor. No beverage cart and all beverage and food closes two hours before the course closes. You can't even buy a cok in a machine or get ice.

Much improved

First time playing in about one year. Greens and fairways are much better than a year ago. I can tell that the new staff have spent a lot of time and money improving the greens especially. And the practice area is much improved also. It’s a work in progress so don’t expect TPC but it’s coming along well and it’s a good course to play.

Got my 1st Eagle!

Though the course needs a lot of work they are trying but the 3 temporary greens were terrible but I somehow made 2 birdies and a par on them! Got my 1st eagle on hole 10! The greens had burs on them and the fairways needed mowing. This used to be my home course when I 1st started playing 12 years ago and I still like to play it because it's cheap and it is usually wide open with no backups or anyone catching up to you. I seem to play well here even with the crappy conditions. They are supposedly redesigning it soon.

Worst Course I’ve Played

To say this course was in rough shape would be an understatement. I have never played a course in as bad of shape as this one. The greens were in awful condition. 2 were under construction and had the fairway hole instead. At least 4 other holes should have had this treatment because the greens were that bad. The tee boxes were awful as well. Some of them were more like playing out of the rough the grass was so long. If it was offered as a discount and if staff were honest about how bad the course was I’d understand. I paid full price and nothing more than a note in GolfNow when checking out. Don’t play here

Course was in excellent shape, however play was very slow and we had to skip 4 holes due to slow play.

Course conditions

This was my first time playing out here. I read the reviews prior to going but I wanted to give it a chance. The course layout was really cool. Lots of cool holes. The greens for the most part are trash. 2 holes under construction which was ok but numerous other holes that looked like ski moguls. Those greens need to be completely replaced. The tee boxes are not much better. They were hard as a rock and difficult to place your tee. Again, great layout and a cool course but needs lots of work.
