ColoVista Golf Club

Fun hill country course in a beautiful setting. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

$40 for a Sunday morning is a good deal around Austin. The course has always had a good layout. Conditions continue to improve. The greens rolled very well and had a good speed. The fairways had a few isolated bare spots, but nothing drastic. The newly sodded areas on 16 and 17 continue to grow in. Worth the drive from Austin to play a fun layout at a good cost.

Greens are absolutely great...roll so true. They are a bit hard as we played mid afternoon in record breaking heat. Fairways and tee boxes need rain. Cart paths are pretty non existent. All that said....loved the course and so excited for Colovista’s rebirth. Looking forward to spring time 2021 after we get some rain and fairways get right!

I’m not sure who is giving these reviews or where they usually play, but there’s no shot this is a 3+ star course. Cart paths were nowhere to be seen, fairways had huge dirt spots which were essentially concrete, greens weren’t in that great of shape, half the fairways were blocked off by rope so you couldn’t even access them, it was just a mess. The front nine was so bad I legitimately wanted to leave after about hole 7. However, I figured since I paid $40 for the twilight round & a small bag of balls (which is ridiculous in itself), I might as well stay.

The back nine is the sole reason I gave this course 2 stars, because there were actually some nice holes on that half. Hole 15 has one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever gotten the chance to play. The guy in the pro shop was extremely nice & helpful as well.

It seems like they’re either in the middle of a huge reconstruction of the front nine, or they just don’t really care about it. I would not recommend playing here until the course is fixed (or only play the back nine), which who knows will even happen.

There are a lot of really bad reviews on this course. But i saw a couple recent reviews that said the course was looking much better. This is True. there are rough spots here and there, and the cart paths are a joke, but most tee boxes were good, the grass is good in most places, and the greens are fine.

There is a Par 3 on the back 9, that looks down and out over a stunning vista with the Colorado river in the distance, hence the name ColoVista. beautiful hole. There is no better scenic hole in all of the Austin area.

We will be back

I read some reviews about the course and had mixed feelings prior to play but once i started it was a nice course. I got my money worth for the course. The fairways need some rain but the greens where good. Sand traps actually had sand and the back 9 had some amazing views. Hole 15 had an amazing from the tee box. 160 yards 3 par of a 50ft high cliff. Im still trying to catch my breathe.

Greens are almost fully restored and are very playable. Fairways are green and nicely mowed but there are bare spots here and there, small weed patches, etc... nothing major or surprising for Texas in July. Rough is very healthy and there are distinguishable differences in playing a ball in the rough vs fairway. The cart path issues are still unresolved but you can still get around the course with some basic sense of direction. All in all, it is nice to see Colovista is making a comeback. The layout of the course was never the issue, only the conditions were. As always, pace of play here is never an issue. To me, that and the fair green fees make the drive out to Bastrop worth it.

Excellent value. Having played this course multiple times the past 2 years, its great to see the improvements being made to the overall condition of the golf course.

I'm not sure what is going on at this course but it is in very poor condition. It is washed out, rough, bare and in total disrepair. We had a cart but a lot of the holes were roped off so you couldn't access the fairways. The cart paths were horrible. I can't believe I paid $30 to play here. I'm not usually a complainer but this really stunk. Glad the weather was good. The staff was friendly enough. Hope they get the kinks worked out because it could be really nice.

They are doing work on the sod, and the fairways really lack definition, but the greens are beautiful. They were doing work on those too, but they are still above average. Fun layout, half links style, half rolling hills/East Texas pine forest.

I won't go into the details but when you lose golf balls in the fairway because the grass is so deep, it's in bad shape.
Course needs alot of work.
If your not going to maintain a course, sell it to someone who wants to rebuild a course.
I cannot recommend this course in this shape.

Greens were not good. A lot of work being done to fairways. Cart had a sign cart path only but much of course did not have cart path

Playing here was like playing in my back yard. Overgrown even in the fairways and greens were extremely slow due to growth and sanding.

This place has a lot of nerve charging $30+ per person. Maybe it had rained a lot more than we thought the day before, but there was not a dry spot on the course. Literal puddles all over the place, so clearly there is a drainage problem. The grass was also pretty thin, with the exception of the greens. Half of those had sand all over the place, they were extremely slow, and you could barely distinguish the green from the other grass. The course layout was alright, with some interesting holes on the back. The course has potential to be fun, but with the poor condition, it's not worth money to play, in my opinion. The only other positive is it wasn't very crowded and we played in 3 hours. Huge disappointment.

Great course with some cool views. Pine forest golf club makes this place look like Augusta. Front nine is mostly flat with no trees. The back nine is really cool with a lot of elevation changes. Also much more trees on the back nine which gives it a different feel from the front nine. Greens were in good shape too. Overall I would definitely play here again and wishing I could have played the back nine twice.

The morning we arrived, there was a tournament starting on the front 9 so we were directed to the back 9. With the exception of minor fairway repairs, the holes were in good shape and the pace of play was not an issue. Playing was enjoyable with a surprise view on a par 3. As we made the turn to the front 9, it was like playing a totally different course. Playing the front 9 was difficult. If I go back, I would ask to play the back 9 twice.
