About Lago vista golf course
Lago Vista Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring 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 sits along the banks of the Colorado River and the northern shores of Lake Travis, with rolling fairways, lake views and plenty of wildlife. Four sets of tees accommodate a range of skill levels, and there is a practice facility on site.

Now owned and operated by the City of Lago Vista, the course is open to all golfers and lies about 30 minutes northwest of downtown Austin. Active local men's and women's golf associations are based at the club.
