One of the worst conditioned golf courses I have EVER PLAYED!!! The fairways looked like battlegrounds. The cart paths just randomly ended at various points and left you to navigate down dirt roads. We left after 7 holes and vowed to never return. We came to get away from the city (Houston) and enjoy gold in the country. What we didn't bargain on that the "country" was more like a war zone than a golf retreat. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!! THIRTY-SEVEN DOLLARS FOR A HOG RANCH IS NO BARGAIN!

Has Fallen Off

This course is either hit or miss. Sometimes conditions are better than average, and sometimes they are BAD. This last round I played there was the latter. Luckily I got a hot deal for $10. It was worth that, but not much more. Greens were "Okay", but fairways and teebox's were terrible. Looked liked the course hadn't been mowed in weeks. Weeds everywhere. Hopefully, it will get better.

No-Show Staff

Never played the course. When we arrived there was no activity and only 4 other golfers waiting. The course was not in good condition due to drought but the reason we did not play is that no one was manning the golf shop at 7 am. We left at 7:10.

Not like when it opened

Tees and greens were in pretty good shape. The greens rolled fairly quick with very few bumps. "Through the green" however, was another story. Bumps, weeds, dead spots, wet areas, you name it in the fairways. Need back surgery after traveling over this track. Still a better course than pine forest, but for conditions/money, think I'll take pine forest for now.

Will be back!!

What a pleasant surprise...had seen great deals on Golf Now for a while and decided to give it a try. Middle of the week on a hot summer afternoon pretty much had the place to myself. Front 9 links style wide open, back nine tree lined in among the homes. Fairways do need quite a bit of work-weeds, dry patches, etc but that really didn't bother me--just move the ball to a nice patch! The greens were in nice condition--the collars need some work. Also some beautiful vistas. Pro shop personnel very helpful even encouraging me to go ahead and tee off early to get ahead of a foursome on the way. Like the title said..I will be back!

How on earth can u give this a 4 star rating when you state how bad the fairways are??!! Is that not an important part of the course? Ridiculous.

Price is right but fairways need help!

Fairways need attention!!! Grass conditions are average to below average. Very rutted. Greens are in good shape. No coolers, although they sell beverages- adult and otherwise. Still was a nice round.

Thanks for your input. Since your last visit we fertilized and sprayed for weeds in fairways and tee boxes. We have also started an initiative to repair cart paths and the washboard areas in fairways. I hope you visit again.

Hoping for improvements

I used to play this golf course several times per year when the course conditions were far better. Since then, the course was closed and re-opened. I'm so glad it is open again because the layout is very interesting, but it needs serious work, especially in the fairways and teeing grounds. The greens on the back nine resemble the way they used to be - beautiful and rolling smoothly, but the front nine's greens are in poor shape. The fairways have an incredible amount of weeds, far more than I've ever seen on a golf course.

I would guess they need lots of $$$ to maintain the course in the manner it needs, and if we as reviewers deter players from going out there, they certainly will not be able to make many improvements.

This course is owned by members. If they are serious about their course and want people to drive from Austin and surrounding communities to play and help support the course, they should get together and volunteer to make some improvements. A starting point would be to apply weed killer to the fairways.

I paid for a Golf Now 'Hot Deal' of $15, but if I had paid more, I would have asked for my money back.

I really hope they make the much needed improvements.

The greens and the layout were pretty nice. The fairways and t boxes were not good at all.

It was worth a try for the price.

Fun Day

Played in a threesome, and no pressure from behind. Course was in better shape than six weeks ago; greens were better, but still need some growth and repairs on some of them. Always enjoy Colovista. Par on the signature hole #15 made it a fun day. I'll go back to play it again.
