On it's way up.
The course has recently reopened under private management and is on it's way to being n exceptional track.. The fairways are 100% better than they were when it was opened by the city of Lago Vista. The green are for the most part in very good condition considering they were left unattended. A few has issues but were assured they will be back by the end of the year. The bunkers are being reworked in the next few weeks and once these are addressed, the course will be definitely heading in the right direction. The nines were flipped which makes the finishing holes much better. I would recommend this course so anyone that played Highland Lakes back before 2017 can see the significant changes being made
Goat Pasture
The courselay dormant for at least a couple of years. Now, an investor has shown up with big plans to turn the place around. I hope they succeed - i doubt that they will.
The layout is shaky to begin with. They need evey bunker replaced (which I am told is in the works. The greens and tee boxes are very, very poor. Weeds and crab grass riddle the fairways. Cart paths are crumbling.
All in all, this is a real goat pasture.
Time will tell if these new owners can turn the place around but it is seriously doubtful.
Desk staff very friendly, course starter friendly as well
and offered free water....nice!!!
great course I will be back.

Traps are unplayable and some greens have large spots of dead grass. But.. course is in a lot better shape than we expected after two years closed. Hope the new owners keep up the good work they have started. Will continue to book here .
Amazing views of Hill Country and Lake Travis
Great course layout, front side greens spotty but roll well, back nine greens in excellent condition. They provided a free GPS service with a flyover feature for each hole that was pretty cool. This course has great potential and looks like it will only get better. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout the day.
Thank you for the 4 star review. The course is under new ownership and we are going to continue to grow and improve the course. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Loved the layout
I always wanted to play this course. It was a fun challenge. However, I showed up for my tee time and no one was to be found. A sign said check in at the cart barn. No one there. It was a weekday so I grabbed a cart and loaded up my clubs. The lady who ran the grill checked the gas level for me, she worked at the course in her past. I took off. It was only me so I played at my own pace. Since I was trying out a new to me set of Pong G400 irons I could play 2 balls in from time to time to tune in their distance. I loved the layout. Full of hills, tree-lined fairways, creeks, elevated tees play was challenging and rewarding. It was not your meticulously maintained course but the joy of play madi worthwhile. I didn’t care if the traps were overgrown. That’s how the old Scots must have played it. If you are an engineer type you will hate it. If you are the creative type you will love it! Try it for yourself and see if you agree.
Disaster
Greens in horrible shape. So bad the course should not be open. I could find no drinking water on the course. I suspect this business won't last past November
Very nice and challenging course. Definitely going to have to hit them straight here, tight fairways and a few blind spots you have to hit to a certain spot because it’s so hilly, greens on the front just a need a little more work but besides that it’s a great golf course, the more people play the more the course can improve
Fun course but room for improvement
The course layout is slightly challenging but overall a fun golf course. You get the true hill country experience here with mostly downhill shots and a few uphill shots. Greens are acceptable but are a little slow. The more people that play this course the more money they will have to improve their greens. Overall it’s a great experience and I recommend you give this course a shot.
Thank you for the 4 star review! Lake Travis Country Club is under new Ownership and we will continue to make improvements to the course. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Diamond in the rough
This place is going to be amazing soon. Go play now while it's juvenile. Greens are beat up on a few holes, But roll great. Bunkers are ugly, but are going to get fixed. Fairways are bumpy, but will fill in. Beautiful views. Great staff and exceptional value.
One step at a time.
Grass is only greener where you water it and They're watering the whole course!
Can't wait to go back.
Thank you for the 4 star review. Lake Travis Country Club is under new ownership and we are working hard to continue to improve the course. Thanks for the kind words and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Fun little challenging course
Not bad for a small hill country course. Greens were in great shape. Fairways are pretty poor, mixed grasses and not watered regularly. Tee boxes are hit or miss....some were good while others didn't have a level surface to hit from.
Pro Shop says they are closing down 10/1/2017
We have reopened and under new ownership. We are doing some big things out here come see our progress and try us again. Thanks Lake Travis CC Management

Terrible conditions
Course was in horrendous shape. Fairways were long and crabgrass covered. The greens were slow and long. Looked like it was let go since before the rain last weekend. A very nice layout that has been let go. A real shame!
Highland Lakes
Fairways and tee boxes were extremely shaggy, but I'll give a pass coming just after a big rain event. 15th hole is strange. Doesn't match card and appears to be < 400-yard par-5. Greens remain among the best I've seen this season.
Steve
Greens are good, fairways getting hard and shaggy. Traps not playable. Good value for 12 to 15 dollars
Great day in the heat!
Played solo 12-3pm 18 holes. Didn't seee anyone until the #15. The greens were in great shape. Bunkers needed attention but over all I was very pleased with my decision to play this course. Fair green fees and beer prices. Very small club house and very few amenities but for the price it was perfect. I heard that the city is voting to shut down the course. What a shame. Beatiful course, lots of lake views. Great staff. Relaxed pace of play. Will go again!
We will fix all the issues you've talked about in this review in due time. The course has been closed for two years and step by step we will turn this course into a gem. We hope you continue to come out and see our progress.
