Teravista Golf Club
About
Despite its Hill Country setting, Teravista Golf Club has more of a links feel, with wide-open fairways and casually rolling mounds. About 60-70 white bunkers spot the layout, and water comes into play on 14 holes. No. 17 is the no. 1 handicap, playing a long 443 yards from the tips. The hole bends left toward a kidney-shaped green that is surrounded by three bunkers. Teravista G.C. offers a beginner-friendly tee box that plays only 3,744 yards, making it enjoyable for any skill level. The National Golf Course Owners Association has dubbed this 18-hole Clifton-Ezell-Clifton design a "Beginner Friendly Course."

Awesome course
Excellent course and challenging. Great value for the price. Will definitely return. Course in awesome shape considering all the recent rain. Only drawback was sand in all bunkers should be the same. Loved the bunkers that had the white fluffy sand.
The course has really deterioated
I have played this course many times in the 15 years I have lived in the area. I can not believe they have have let the shape of the course go like this. The sand traps were utterly unplayable. The tee boxes were uneven and unmaintained. The greens were bumpy. I guess I don't understand why they would like this happen to this course. The rate was good and included a couple of drinks but they need to get everything fixed before I would ever play again.
Great course. slow pace of play!
We golfed as a twosome on a Thursday afternoon. I am a 16 handicap golfer.The course was in overall good shape considering the amount of rain lately. Layout is challenging with its numerous bunkers and water in play at over 70% of holes. The GPS installed in carts is the best system Ive seen you can keep score and send email copy of score card to every member of group! Greens medium speed, smooth & receptive. The one big downer was the incredibly slow pace of play. We had 2 foursomes in front of us and the group 2 ahead of us was extremely slow. Despite 2 marshals seeing what was going on instead of telling the group to let others play through they did nothing! So from hole 3 to 18 we had way to long of waits. I cant imagine how it would be on a busy Saturday! Other than that everything else was great! I gave the course an overall rating of 4 stars only bc the course, food and all staff minus the marshals was top notch!
Not a great value
Fairway ground is harder than most munis (dead pan!). Traps were in horrible condition though repairs are underway. Overpriced until major improvements are made. Nice people.
Great Outing
Tee boxes and sand traps a tad rough, but new management is bringing course around. Pace of play was almost perfect and for the cost this was a great deal.
what was could be again
Nice course, but the cost vs area courses & what they offer it's more of an online special price course. They used to have free range balls with a tee time but now that even cost money. Main advantage is location.
Disappointing golf outing!
Teravista course can be a fun track when in top condition. When the wind is up there is no hiding from it and course plays more difficult. Wide open course. The greens are usually in very good condition and roll true. Sand traps and fairway bunkers are quite a different story. For years now the traps/bunkers have been seriously neglected. There is little sand left in them--just mostly hard-pack. Grounds crew does not rake them routinely, if ever, and the fiberous liners are showing through what little sand is left. A puzzle for sure as to why the grounds crew and management will not tend to their sand. Until this is taken care of, I am reluctant to recommend this course, as a major course feature is a negative and no longer a plus. Not sure what company (Eagle Golf??) owns this course, but some big-time work on the traps/bunkers needs to be done and someone needs to get to it!
Good track
Teravista is a well designed course and compensates for a range of handicaps with multiple tee boxes. We played the blue tee's and found them to be fairly honest. The par 5's were 500+ yds and made it challenging to get home in 2 strokes and the design makes you think about laying up instead of attacking. Par 3's were also beyond your average short iron from the blue's. It was a little soggy the day we played and for the most part the coarse was fairly dry. Had a couple of shots out of the mud on the back nine in areas you wouldn't have expected it. i would golf here again. Staff is great.
Nice Course
I love this course. It has everything, sands, water and wide fairways. It is challenging but not difficult. Greens are in good conditions, and staff is always very amable.
Good course
In good shape for winter season. Staff was exceptional. Slow play due to a five some ahead and crowd for beautiful day.
Windy day at Terravista
Terravista has always been a course I enjoyed playing. It's open layout is really affected by windy condition's. The day we played it was very windy and very challenging but enjoyable. The greens were putting well and the fairways are typical winter condition and very tight. Pace of play was about average there and is always a little slow. The group in front of us hunted balls on every hole so we had a 445 hr round and the course wasn't crowded. The bunkers need more sand as the drainage mat is exposed in many bunkers. Overall it was still enjoyable even with the cold and 2 or 3 club wind. I've played there for years and will go back.
Dead fairways in winter
First time playing at the recommendation of several friends. Priced similar to Avery, but I prefer Avery. Dead fairways in winter is depressing, although Avery does this as well. Course was otherwise in good shape.
solid course
Solid course. GPS carts. Pricey without golf now hot deal.
Enjoyable round in January
Played here mid week on what might be the last warm day in January in Texas. Course is looking good, greens are rolling nicely. Fairways are well maintained but maybe getting a bit thin in some areas. Bunkers were a bit wet from recent rains, so pay attention to the condition of the sand before hitting your bunker shots. Great course for mid and low handicappers, can be tough on the high handicaps or if you don't carry tee shots and approach shots (several shots require a carry over water/rough/bunkers). I always enjoy the challenge of this course, and play off about a 12. My Dad (72) who plays off about a 20 finds it too difficult due to the types of shots required (bump and runs are punished frequently with bunkers!) High handicap will likely enjoy Star Ranch or Bluebonnet more. I'll be back again soon, but not with my Dad! Course can play very long with north wind and playing the tips will give you a solid challenge any day of the week. I've played this course since it opened and it is growing in nicely with trees now and greens have matured quite a bit as well.
Perfect in December
The course was in great shape. The staff was extremely friendly. The course has numerous challenging holes.
Nice Course
This is a great course for moderate golfers. Greens rolled well.
great course
excellent course, weather and conditions even though 2 days before they got 5 inches of rain.
great price through golf now.
Great time
Really enjoyed the round today. Played in 3.5 hours with groups in front and behind. Grass was going dormant but greens were still in perfect condition.
Worth the outing!
Really enjoyed playing this course. Not an ego booster... Bring your best game, you will need every shot in you arsenal- as well as every club. Go have fun...
Rushed!
I arrived 45 minutes before my tee time as I like to hit a small bucket and putt a bit. I was told I'd be paired up with 2 others to make a threesome at the designated tee time. I was doing my usual no rush routine to get warmed up. About 20 balls into a small bucket, an employee approached me and said "The tee box is open whenever you're ready". Still 20 minutes before my tee time and haven't been informed of the other two being ready or present. I just saw a twosome go off about 8-10 minutes prior and if I was going to play as a single, I mine as well wait a few more minutes or I'd catch them on #2 anyway. Then I see another single driving to the tee box. The employee says "That guy's going out as a single". I felt like this was a statement made for me to join him.
I actually enjoy meeting new golfers, so no biggie. Twosome in front of us shouldn't be that bad, right? We play the first hole without issues and head to the next. We get to the 2nd hole's tee box and see the twosome standing in the fairway. We have to wait a minute and then tee off, wait for the 2nd green to clear and then hit our shots into #2 green. Finish #2 and drive to the #3 tee and BOOM....severe backup! The twosome in front of our twosome was waiting to hit their tee shots. Two guys on the green taking so much time you'd think they were putting to win a major. We played two more holes before being caught by a single, so we ended up making a threesome.
What I discovered through conversation was that each one of us had the same exact tee time, were told to go off the first tee whenever we're ready and eventually met up with one another anyway. With 3 carts to boot!
It made no sense and would have been much more enjoyable if they would hold people to their tee times and allow gaps that would allow someone to get into their groove and not have to wait 5-10 minutes between their shots. We got the tee time for a specific time, if there's a big gap between our group and the last group then so be it.
What I think is they want everyone to tee off as soon as possible in order to get the carts out and people on the course in order to close the pro shop and go home as early as possible.
I paid to play 18 and could only tolerate 9. Good thing I made that decision because I could see the blockage on the #10 tee box and fairway, #12 fairway and green, #13 tee box, fairway and green all while driving home.
This isn't the first time a round has gone down like this at this course. It was a weekday afternoon round, so I can't even imagine what it's like on a weekend morning round.
As a Teravista resident, I'd consider a membership at this course if it were more organized.
I've never seen a marshall on this course and it desperately needs one.
To Teravista staff:
FIX YOUR BUNKERS, THEY'RE TERRIBLE!
Have had the same "rushed" experience at this course. Pro shop is reluctant to book a single; not sure why this is. Have been told they will just work you in and will not put you on the tee time list. Also, agree that the sand traps/bunkers are absolutely dismal! Cannot for the life of me figure out why they will not put some decent sand in them. So tired of seeing hard pack in what should be a good course feature. Sand should be relatively cheap to install, so why not do this??? A little attention to details like the two noted here would no doubt go a long way!
