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.

Improving

Haven't played this course in years, mostly due to the poor reviews about it's playing conditions. Was invited to play with a group this morning and was anxious to see how the course was fairing after reading and hearing some positive reviews. Unfortunately it was very cold and damp, but when you're with friends you play on and make the best of it. We started out on the back 9, and were only able to play about 6 holes before the rain set in. What I saw and experienced was encouraging. Yes there are multiple dead spots on the greens, but they weren't big and all-n-all rolled great and were very playable. The tee boxes and fairways are patchy and growing in areas. Judging from the reviews I've read and heard about the course prior to playing this morning I'd say the course is trending in the right direction, which is great because it really is a fun track to play!

First Time Playing

Deer crazy

Getting late in the year and the area hasn’t seen much rain over the past few months so the fairway are a little thin

But the crazy thing that I loved was the blind downhill 9th hole. I would go back just to play that hole

The other crazy thing was the number of Dustin deer there were on this course. You could practically pet them lol

Hill country golf

This once fabulous golf course has become almost unplayable. Fairways are mostly barren and greens are a disaster. Not sure if this tract can be salvaged.

Horrible fairways

Played last month and fairways were green, but after a month without rain the fairways are burnt grass. Sprinkler system is not working 50% of the course. Greens are playable so they are getting water. Only 1 temporary green. Ate lunch in The Bunker cafe, everything was very good. Will not be back until they get some rain.

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

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!
