Unfortunate

This course must have been glorious in its day with the views of Lake Travis, layout and location. However the conditions of the course were horrible..Years of neglect for whatever reason has left this possible gem in total disarray...Have always wanted to play Lago Vista...very disappointing.
I can only hope that someday somebody will invest and turn this course around again..

Poorest greens

Fairways are burnt, greens are burnt and have large black areas on them. Greens are uneven and have holes in them. Three temporary greens, but no yardage information on them. With course in this condition, there should be a reduced green fee.

Courses in horrible shape

They tell you some of the green trying to repair. But they don’t tell you the course is not mowed the boxes aren’t mode evergreen has damage to the temporary greens are unplayable. If you want to play this course for 25 bucks know The garbage not worth it it’s a $25 joy ride around Hill country.
I felt cheated.

Don’t waste your time or money

Buddy said he had a tee time at Lago Vista since everywhere else was booked. If it wasn’t for hanging with the guys I wouldn’t have went. All the reviews are accurate. Lost 6-7 balls in the fairway, hasn’t been cut in weeks. Greens dirt and dry. If it’s your only option to play, just take the day off and stay home. The course should be closed, just like Highland Lakes.

Golf Course is in terrible condition

The Lago Vista course is in terrible condition and has been for several years. It is obvious that the City of Lago Vista (who owns the golf course) and specifically City Manager do not care about the course or its members. Apparently, the City Manager hired the cheapest and least qualified individual possible as the course General Manager. I have been advised by several players that have had the unfortunate experience of interacting with this incompetent and petulant individual and were stunned by her distain for golfers and club members. Its a disserve to the club members, the community and golfing public to run course in this manner. I have played this course many, many times over the years and the last few times encountered a dramatic deterioration in the playability and condition of the course. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere to play.

Sad fate for Lago Visra

I have hundreds of rounds here over the last 20 years. And I have never seen this course in such abismal shape. 3 greens close with 60’sq replacement greens. The other 16 need to be replaced also. Between fungus and just plain terrible maintenance they are unplayable. The course has a new GM but I would love to know why he chose to replace all the golf carts vs fixing the fairways and greens. And charged full price for the mess. It’s a sad day for the old girl and I won’t be back.

Lago Vista GC

The greens are in horrible shape now but the track itself is challenging. The drought hasnt helped the course conditions. Three temporary greens and two others that need immediate repair. My wife and I played at 11:30 yesterday and were the only ones on the course- a combination of hot weather and rough course conditions. Overall, it it is good value and the staff there is incredible. We hope it survives because it is a great place to play.

Horrible greens

I understand this time of year in Texas it is difficult to keep up course conditions, but the greens were some of the worst I’ve played. There was maybe one or two greens that were actually up to par with other courses.

Please Invest in Your Greena

This place has a ton of potential but the quality/complete disregard for the greens was extremely disappointing and a deal killer for any future rounds. Told me “4-5 greens are temporary”. But failed to mention the other 14 are in complete disarray. The tee boxes weren’t even cut. The course should have more integrity to at least let guests know what they are paying for. Extremely extremely disappointing.

It’s the little things that make a huge impact on golfers and I wish someone would help LVGC realize that. I’d suggest taking the money spent on fancy new golf carts and reinvesting that into your greens.

You can’t even put on any of the 18 greens. Layout is nice and carts are brand new. Should of put that $ into the course. I’ll never be back.

Still want to love it but needs a ton of work

I have been playing this course for years. The layout is fine and can be a bit challenging on some holes. The greens are an absolute wreck. Several unplayable/temporary greens. Fairways are either a wet mess or a dry dessert. Tee boxes are uneven and overgrown or dead. There is so much potential but they have been struggling with the greens for years now. I don’t understand why they cant grow grass.

Pluses are it was only $24.50 with hot deal and juniors are free. I have.a 16 year old who plays and there is no other course that offers that kind of deal. No beer cart and no just plain hot dog so plan on bringing your own.

I really want to love this course again but it is only for the rec golfer who wants to have some fun at a cheap price.
