So much potential
Such an interesting course and fun to play. Sad that the course needs so much help—-greens are pitiful, tee boxes are hard, trash is nit picked up...
Hello and thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff. Thanks for visiting Lake Travis Country Club!
Work in progress but great course.
It was a great course. I met the owner and he just bought it 3 months ago. The greens and fairways need work but he just bought it so it’s still has things to do. Overall great course and I will be playing there again.
Thank you for your review, obhuta8. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lake Travis Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Unplayable
Course is in really bad shape tee to green. Greens are not puttabke. Bunkers overgrown with weeds, no sand. Not a green blade of grass on the course! Bottom line, it’s unplayable!

Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future. Thanks for choosing Lake Travis Country Club.
Bad
The course was in bad shape. The greens were brown dirt and bunkers were completely grown over.

We have projects underway to recover the tee boxes, fairways, greens, and sandtraps. We hope you'll bear with us through this transition and give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Lake Travis Country Club.
Good potential, bad course
Course has potential. Nestled between a beautiful neighborhood and Lake Travis it’s just fallen into a state of disrepair. Greens aren’t existent. Everything is dry. I can only imagine what a little money would do to the place.

So bad
This is the worst course I have ever played in my life owner is nice but seriously the greens are dirt, sand traps empty. A lot of potential but just sad

Don’t waste your money
Arrived at the course and had to park at the maintenance building. Checked in via text. Tee boxes were overgrown, fairways were horrible, and the greens were non existent of any grass at all. On the bright side, they had nice golf carts
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Lake Travis Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Has great potential
Owner just bought the course 6 weeks ago . Greens are a little rough but this course has the potential to be phenomenal. We payed 20$ for 18 and a cart. Totally worth it. Will go back for sure
Hi Joey2570405. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at Lake Travis Country Club!
Never ever play here.
They let you touch green holes and flag pole. Not following covid rule. Green has to grass. Cart path horrible. Staff was very friendly. But fxxx just dont play period.
Hello, hellobuddys2. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1-star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. We always appreciate the feedback. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing Lake Travis Country Club.
Good layout in disrepair
This is a fine, challenging course that has fallen on hard times. Everything is in rough condition. Check in for tee times is at the maintenance shop, which makes for an odd start to the round. From that point on it’s 18 holes of disappointment at what could be a great course.

Needs major upkeep
Some maintenance would go a long way there, terrible conditions but could be a good one with a lot of tlc

Terrible course
The greens have no grass, hasn’t been watered. Not worth the money.......it’s like playing a cow pasture.

Dear lord! Please help Lake Travis GC
This course was once the crown jewel of Lago Vista! The course lay out is fantastic with fabulous views of lake travis. Now is in desperate need any kind of help it can get. The tee boxes are uneven and over grown, the fairways have multiple varieties of wild central Texas grasses and clover and the greens appear dead with this same weeds trying to take over which make them nearly unplayable. Every bunker on the course has zero sand and are either dirt or completely grown over with weeds and native grasses. The cart paths are a disaster and in complete disrepair. At this point the course is a embarrassment to the community. I truly hope it gets restored to its former glory because It’s one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the greater Austin area.

Great layout. Neds a lot of TLC
This was my 1st time playing here. Getting started was very frustrating. There was no clubhouse and I had to drive all around the property to find someone to get me started. Once out on the course, I was very impressed with the layout and the terrain. There weren't very many golfers out, but there were a lot of deer around. The course conditions were rough. The greens were not in good shape. It was obvious the course may have been quite nice at one time. Hopefully, someone can pour some money into the course and bring it back. All that to say, I enjoyed myself and felt it was worth the low pricw that I paid.

It turns out the course is closed!
We got there for our 10:30 round today and no one was there. Everything was locked. A worker from the grille showed up and said the grille was open, but he didn’t think the golf course was.
The cart barn was completely empty.
I hope I can get my money back from golf now.

A New Experience
This place has the appearance of a high-class country club 20-years past its prime. Apparently it’s had three different names, and is now under new ownership/management?
It took me 30 minutes to find the “starter.” The clubhouse for the course is no longer the clubhouse. Go past the parking lot, down the pot-holed road, to the cart barn where the club staff would have serviced equipment. Today I got to help the only staff on hand, a lady named Maggie (sweet gal!) gas-up my cart. The cart was nice, and ran like a top.
The course shows minimal signs of maintenance. No water in fixtures, no sand in bunkers (though there was plenty of sand on some greens). It’s clear the irrigation system is not in use, as 90% of the course (greens included) were brown. That said, the parts of the green that weren’t either sandy or treated for various maladies, rolled quite nicely.
It did appear that pin locations have changed in the not-too-distant past, and the entire course was at least mowed to a links-style level. So someone is doing their best. I really hope the new ownership has plenty of capital to sink into this place. The layout, elevation changes, and varying difficulties means this place has great potential. As stated above, it shows evidence of a once-great private club.
