During the recent Lago Vista Golf Course Advisory Committee meeting held on June 24, 2025, members discussed the current state of the golf course's ratings and the improvements made over the past year. The committee reviewed data from various online platforms, including Golf Now, Google, Yelp, and Travel Advisor, to assess customer feedback and overall satisfaction.

The analysis revealed a notable increase in the golf course's rating, which rose from 2.9 to 3.3 over the past year. This improvement is attributed primarily to enhancements in the greens and positive feedback regarding the course layout and staff friendliness. The committee noted that these upgrades have contributed to an increase in play and better ratings, indicating a positive trend in customer perception.

However, despite these improvements, the Lago Vista golf course still lags behind its competitors. The closest competing course in Austin boasts a rating of 3.9, while others, such as Delaware Springs and Crystal Falls, have ratings of 4.7 and 4.0, respectively. Hidden Falls, another local competitor, received a surprising rating of 4.6, which was higher than expected.

The committee acknowledged that while the Lago Vista course has made strides, it remains essential to continue addressing areas for improvement to compete effectively with nearby facilities. The discussion highlighted the importance of ongoing enhancements and community engagement to attract more visitors and elevate the course's standing in the region.

As the meeting concluded, members expressed a commitment to further improvements and strategies to enhance the golfing experience, ensuring that Lago Vista remains a viable option for both local residents and visitors. The committee's focus on customer feedback and course conditions will be crucial in shaping future initiatives aimed at boosting the golf course's reputation and performance.
