My hats off to the DS greens keeper! I played this course twice in 2 weeks and the greens are in the best shape of any course I've played this year! They reveal courses that demand twice the cost.

I play about 100 rounds per year all around central Texas and I'd recommend this course over any at this time.

Unfortunately we played the course on a day it was raining so we couldn't get a full appreciation of the course. We are from out of town and had prebooked so there was no other opportunity to play it.
But even in the wet conditions, the course layout was good and it drained well. We did enjoy the layout with all holes being very playable with generous fairways and some interesting short par 4s that required good club selection and strategy. The greens were well maintained with my only criticism being that one of the holes on the front nine was being aerated as we played!

We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

As my review title states, this round of golf was horrible for many reasons. I play golf 2-3 times per week and since I'd never played this course I decided to drive 40 minutes with my wife to play.

We had a 7:30 tee time and after checking in, went to the putting green to wait for our tee time. At 7:28 we arrived at the first tee to find no starter but 3 guys teeing off at that moment. We waited about 5 minutes for them to tee off and then waited 15 more minutes behind them to finish the 1st hole.
During our whole round of waiting, there was never a marshal and to make matters worst, we were continually interrupted on approach shots on 3 of the first 5 holes by the grounds crew moving stuff on and off the greens??? It got so bad that a single golfer joined us on the 3rd hole but left on the 6th hole because of the slow group in front of us!!

It gets worst. As we moved to the back 9 the grounds crew began sanding the greens right in front of us on every hole!!! I have never experienced something so unprofessional from a golf management team in all my years of playing. They would literally race to the green and drop large mounds of sand and attempt to spread it before we hit our approach shots.

I will never set foot on this course again. I considered doing something I've never done on a course - ask for a full refund of my money. I then thought about it and decided that if the owners/managers didn't care enough to not sand green while golfers were playing, they probably don't give a hoot about customers like me so I didn't even waste my time.

I would strongly recommend against anyone booking this course and Golf Now should seriously reconsider caring this course on their booking list.

I've played this course about 10 times over the last 3 years and this was, by far, the worst greens condition I have experienced.
Some of the greens were so bad that the ball could hardly move forward in a straight line no matter the lie. It is evident that the City of Lago Vista is having financial trouble keeping this course playable and that's a shame because it's a wonderful hill country layout.

It would be better for the city to close the course for a few months and focus on restoration. If the course stays in this condition they will lose more players and put the course further at risk.

My wife and I have played this course about 5 times in the past year and really enjoy the layout and diversity of each hole. This is a true "country course" even though it's tucked into a subdivision. You get the true feeling of playing in a hill country course and don't see too many houses along the way.

The fairways and greens are always in good shape and, as stated, each hole has a distinct personally that challenges you to hit different clubs depending on your risk tolerance. I play to a 12 handicap but still manage to have rewarding rounds playing from the blue tees so the course is not overly tough for most weekend golfers.

We will definitely return.

My wife ad I like the Lago Vista course. It gives you a true Hill Country golf experience with great views and a nice course layout. Our only complaint was the greens had just been aerated and sanded so the putting was poor. It would be good if course posted this o their site prior to golfers booking.
