Lago Vista Golf Course
About Lago Vista Golf Course
Lago Vista Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout playing just over 6,500 yards. It began in 1971 as a nine-hole course built to help promote lot sales in the then-unincorporated neighborhoods that later became the city of Lago Vista. Soon after, architect Leon Howard oversaw a renovation and expansion to 18 holes, and the club operated privately until the mid-1990s.
The course now sits open to all golfers, with rolling fairways, lake views and plentiful wildlife along the banks of the Colorado River and the northern shores of Lake Travis. Four sets of tees accommodate a range of skill levels, and there is a practice facility on site.
