Please don’t make the same mistake I made.

I had friends from out of town come visit and I thought this course would be nice since the area is really nice, but boy was I wrong. Not one single green had actual grass, and every single green was completely unputtable. The price was the same as courses in a 30min radius that are 10x better. The layout had some very nice views over Lake Travis, but I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone. Not in the condition that is was in.

Course is in complete disrepair

15 of 18 greens were almost completely destroyed. It’s by far the most beat up course I’ve played. I’ve played it when it’s been in a good shape. It’s a shame it’s gotten so bad.

Nice views but the greens were terrible

Greens are not well kept at all. Sand bunkers are full of overgrown grass. Course needs some attention.

Unbelieveable outing

I've played this course frequently over the past 8-10years. Although I've read reviews and spoken to golfers since 2021 the poor conditions of the course. I had to see for myself, sadly to say I won't be playing the course in the future.
Generally all the greens are in serious disrepair and a number of bunkers are invested with grass sprouts.

This course shouldn't be open

Unbelievable how this course has the audacity to charge people to play it. The greens were in absolute shambles, making it impossible to actually play a round of golf. I could have gone to an open field and had the same experience as this course. Terribly maintained, surprised it's open for business.

Lago Vista - Don't Waste Your Time

Temporary greens on 4 holes - no indicators or signs or yardages available on these holes. 40-50% of all other greens are in terrible shape.
Course layout is ridiculous - not difficult but 0 identifiers to assist in playing blind shot holes - nothing to alert other players you have cleared..
Junk course - and the staff was trite and indifferent.
Will NEVER play here again.

The course is in terrible shape, multiple holes with the flag stick not on green, almost every green is half mud and dead grass except maybe 2 greens. Staff is great but the course is in absolute terrible condition

Course in horrible condition

It is very apparent that the city should not be in golf course ownership. This course used to be one of the best around, current golf course staff either don’t have the knowledge or just flat don’t care about what shape the course is in. So disappointing for such a great place. Maybe someday the city will sell to someone that can revive this great course.

Don’t waste your money!!!

Horrible.

This poor golf course is in horrible condition. The city does not have a clue how to operate or maintain a golf course!! Greens are like putting on a gravel road, fairways have no grass. Very disappointed at the joke of a course this place has become. I only paid $13, but should have paid $0 and would still feel like I got ripped off.
