Teravista Golf Club

Course is in the best shape I’ve seen it in 10 years. Staff rating low because of the clubhouse moving my tee time while we were on the first tee box. Marshall’s, cart gals, bar staff were great.

We checked in with the starter and we were next up on the box at our tee time. Then the starter says we were moved back one slot. He said the clubhouse made the change to accommodate a few members so they could have 3 consecutive tee times. I said you told us we were up and the starter said he was just following the direction he was given. Why book a tee time if the clubhouse is going to change it? If we were late for our tee time, the course would definitely have a problem with us. Then had to tell the Marshall we weren’t 5 minutes behind on hole 4 when he said to pick up the pace a little, we were a few minutes ahead because of our later start. Might seem like a small gripe but they can do better

### Pricey But Fun and Challenging

Terra Vista Golf Course in Round Rock, Texas, offers a great experience for golfers who enjoy a bit of a challenge. The course is well-maintained, with lush fairways and pristine greens. Each hole brings something new, with a mix of open fairways and tight, tree-lined shots that test your skills.

The facilities are top-notch, including a well-stocked clubhouse and excellent practice areas. The on-site restaurant is also a nice touch for a post-round meal or drink.

However, it is a bit pricey compared to other local courses. If you're willing to pay a bit more for a quality course and challenging play, Terra Vista is worth a visit.

This was a great outing! Staff was great! Course was in great shape. Played with members who treated me like their own. Highly recommend!

One of my go-to courses in the area. Course is in great shape with lots of challenging holes. You have to check this course out!

Overall Teravista is a great course in good condition. Unfortunately after waiting 20 min on every hole to tee off we gave up after 5hrs and did not even play the last 3 holes. Played here 3 times now and could never complete a round as every time it is 5hrs plus and not the end of the game. Such a shame

The sand traps were unplayable. Pace of play was extremely slow. No marshalls came along to try to keep things moving.

Green fees were near $100 and I expected a course worthy of those lofty fees. The course did not deliver.

This course has a great layout and potential to be a top notch course in the Austin area. Problem is the course maintenance is not that great. The fairways and rough are good. The bunkers are trash, might as well just pull your ball out of them. The quality of the greens are inconsistent. Some are good, others have hole patches cut around the edge near the fringe and strips cut out in middle of green. For $120+ round the course should be maintained better. Not even a small bucket of balls to warm up with for that price?? Come on... No course layout on the scorecard, no GPS on carts. It's the small details that matter. I understand the concept of dynamic pricing but i will not be playing again until the pricing tiers are dropped to match the value of the course.

I actually love this course, when I lived off the 16th green. I hadn't played it a couple years due to moving out of the area. I was extremely surprised and disappointed with the condition of most of the traps. Unfortunately, I landed in several. Most were hard packed dirt and rocks with no sand whatsoever. Also, no enforcement of people raking the dirt (LOL).

Other than that, a fun, challenging course to play. However, I wont play it again without checking on the condition of the traps.

I remember when Teravista was $35 and 2 free beers. These prices are ridiculous. Course is good. No real issues besides paying $100+ for 18 holes of golf is absurd.

Golf course is in very good condition and the layout is a mix of fair and challenging holes. Very enjoyable to play, only problem is the pace of play. 5hour + is the only problem

The course was in pretty good shape for the most part; details below. We enjoyed getting out to play the course and certainly appreciate that many holes are shot specific and take some skill and/or planning.

Our biggest issue was time and course management related to other players and marshals. My group played on a Saturday afternoon using a GolfNow tee time. That certainly helped with the cost as the normal rate is certainly higher than I'm willing to pay. But with the normal amount of players on a somewhat busy Saturday, we were disappointed in the time it took to finish. We planned accordingly yet our round ended up being 4hr 45min and we were racing to beat the setting sun. The marshals were nice and friendly at #1 and I saw them driving the course at least twice during the front nine. But the back nine (starting around 5:00pm) was a completely different story. Do they go home? Is that quitin' time? We arrived at #10 after making a very brief stop at the clubhouse. We were met with a 4-some waiting, a 4-some on the tee box, and another 4-some on the fairway/green. What happened!? Who stopped to order cook-to-order food or take a long bathroom break? How do so many groups get stacked up on a single hole? Bad golfers aside, that just shouldn't happen. And I'm thinking a marshal should've been in the area to at least poke a few people along. So we waited ... as yet another group stacked up behind us. We trudged along through the holes ... waiting (too long) on every tee box. And then came #16 (par 5). We took as long as we could before driving up to the tee box. The group in front of us was still waiting to hit. The group in front of them was waiting at their first shot short of the hazard and cart path. And the group in front of them was still messing on, around, and short of the green. Four (4) foursomes on a single hole with three of the groups just watching. It took FOREVER! It cleared up more or less by 18 because one or two of the groups just left out of frustration. By the time we got back to the clubhouse, the doors were locked and only a couple of cart wranglers were working around the cart barn. Sorry Teravista, but one of my players had to relieve himself against the clubhouse; you left him no choice.

Since the last time I played here, they've added the covered bays on the driving range with Toptracer Mobile. This is for those really wanting to work on their various clubs via software while also giving you a comfortable (e.g. couches) area to work solo or with others. And I believe all range mats have a built-in rubber tee that will automatically tee up a ball using three (3) different height settings. Okay, that's a nice option to have for your driver/woods. I still wish they'd put a fence down the right and left sides to keep the countless number of balls from littering the 1st and 18th fairways.

On the course, we did see a beverage cart at least three (3) times. Can't recall if that was all on the front nine as she may have gone home with the marshals. As for the carts, they're gas powered with plenty of big cup holders, storage, USB ports, sand bottles, and cooler. Unfortunately, they do not have GPS screens. That's not required but is certainly something that more and more courses are providing. Based on the tech at the driving range, I was expecting GPS. But if you're not providing it, then shouldn't you have consistent yardage markings on the holes? I saw maybe two painted markings during the whole round. Just paint the standard markings on the cart paths and be done with it. How hard is that? Or maybe at least put out black and white 150yd poles. Not everyone is out there with yardage apps and smartwatches (yet). And what's with the non par-3 "cart path only" holes? I'm looking around for reasons why you'd need to protect the area and/or the golfers etc but I can't see anything special at all with these holes? Why are you choosing to slow down our play with this? It just doesn't make any sense.

As for actual course conditions, the tee boxes were in generally decent shape, They were a little dry and had definitely seen a lot of action. A few of them had a little extra slope that we'd prefer to not to have to work around. The fairways were also generally fine and consistent. Maybe they'll perk up with the spring and a little more watering. Currently, it's quite a bit of hardpan; don't expect decent divots. The bunkers had plenty of sand but were more compact/hard and therefore a little more difficult to navigate. Several of the greens were just fine. Several had an extra grass/weed/fungus growing on them. I'm not sure what it was but it's not supposed to be there. And then a number of the greens had patches of dead spots (due to fungus?) ... some they were trying to fill in and some they weren't. For what they're charging, I was surprised to see the greens in this condition.

This is the worst course in the Country. Overpriced. No grass in the fairways. Greens are under repair. They havnt watered all winter. Pace of play was ridiculous 5 and 1/2 hours. No marshals. No food. Ipads were down. Rude people throughout the complex. Would never play again or recommend this course. GOAT. Ranch.

Wouldn’t recommend to anyone ever. First off $125 for a 5 hour round. Second the course was in awful condition even for this time of the year. Most of the greens were patchy and they just dumped sand in the middle of most of the greens. Didn’t see the cart girl until hole 12 and the clubhouse wouldn’t let us buy any drinks or food because the iPad was dead even tho we had cash. Cart girl didn’t have food neither. Had to wait 10-15 minutes every hole for the group in front of us. Definitely the worse course I’ve played in Austin so far since being here for a week.

Booked a 1:00 tee time on a Thursday at Teravista. The course was in fair condition, some of the greens are damaged (likely due to weather). The pace of play was great! Our group finished in less than 4 hours. Pins were tucked in corners, made it a little more challenging. Overall, enjoyed it and hope the pace of play is similar next time.

*Note - the last time I played At Teravista it was on a weekend. The pace of play was painful, 5-10 min. wait on every hole. Over 5 hour round. Hopefully the course Marshall’s will help speed up slow play on weekends.

Courses this time of year are tough to maintain. I had better expectations for the greens than what I experienced. Bev Cart prices are crazy. $7 for Dorito and KitKat. $15 for 2 beers.. $100 to play w cart. For all that I did expect alot more on the course.

Did play with some great members though that were top notch people. Thanks to Paul, Jeb, and Mike for the great rd.
