I’m not good enough to be mad

I’ll start off with the positives before because I know people love the negatives. The Marshall’s, cart girls and kitchen staff were all very friendly. I booked online and check in was very easy, got our carts and loaded up, love that they have gas carts. The course layout was nice with some great views of the lake and hillsides. The fairways were decent, but to a more particular golfer they’d probably be sub-par. The overall course isn’t very forgiving if you over hit a ball, they’ll roll another 20 feet if you’re lucky. The guy up front straight up told us the greens were bad so points for honesty, I do appreciate that. I went for fun with some friends and none of us are good enough to complain, a good green wouldn’t make a difference in how we play. The greens were pretty much a mixture of hard dirt and sand, I’m sure the above average golfer would throw a fit about it but like I said, went with some friends for a good time, not good enough to be mad about it. I was still able to hit a 12 foot putt on one of them. I don’t think the price I paid accurately reflects the condition of the course. I’ve played at several now and I can confidently say I’ve paid the same amount for courses in far better shape all around. The course overall has great potential, it just needs a lot of love.

Worst greens ever!!!

Do not play here under any circumstances! The greens are unplayable. They should be ashamed of themselves. The greens are covered in sand spot and mud and are a freaking joke! I feel robbed for the $44 we paid.

Great Views But the Greens Are Different Story

This course offers a fantastic layout with wide fairways and stunning views. However, the greens are in poor condition, detracting from the overall experience. With better maintenance, it could be a top-tier destination for golfers.

Wait until the greens are green

Some of the greens were liking putting on the moon, If you dont mind hitting to the green and not putting it is a good course. They did offer us unlimited holes that day because of the condition of the greens.

Refuse to provide rain check - do not book if there is a chance of rain

While I was playing it started to rain and was very windy as well. The course refused to provide a rain check. The reason given was that i have purchased the round through GolfNow website.

Recommend not to book this course if there is any chance of rain

Greens!

Greens are like putting in a sand trap.
Marshall very strict with 90 degree rule.
Was given a lesson on 90 degree rule on hole #1. Two of us playing, one ball went 100ft farther. Was told to return to cart path then back to other ball which is flat stupid. Been playing golf for 50 years and never experienced this type of ridicule. This place needs to close.

Putting… Green?

We could only actually play two greens on the whole course. Most had sand divots and potholes, all were brown. The rest of the course was really pretty and nice. We played the 2 putt max rule the entire course because the greens were that unplayable..

Never again!

I told myself three years ago I'd never go back, but my two buddies wanted to go get in 9 holes around 2 pm yesterday. This course is a joke. Well, let me restate...the course conditions are a joke. The course itself "could be" incredible. Interesting layout, although a couple of the greens are ridiculously designed, and a great topography. It's just laughable that 98% of the greens have literal "bunkers" in them. I don't mean sand on them, I mean 4 - 5 in deep holes in the surface with sand or dirt in them. How hard is it to take a few 2'x3' strips of sod, fill in the ditches on the greens, and lay down some new sod over these atrocities? I know I would much rather putt over a surface that is at least somewhat level and on grass, versus having to putt through huge cavities in the greens The City of Lago Vista should be ashamed of this!. I understand we had a drought and a couple of freezes in the last two years, but this has been an issue for at least 8 years that I've lived here. And the weather affected every other golf course in the area and yet they've managed to fully recover. To think that they actually charge people full price is absurd. What's absurd is that people are willing to pay that amount. We booked it through Golfnow and paid $25.00 each and that was too much,
