Spread across 200 scenic acres of rolling meadows and steep hillsides, Hill Country Golf Club offers 27 scenic holes of championship golf. Designed by renowned architectural firm Arthur Hills & Associates, Golf Digest considers it one of Texas’ best places to play. Each course covers a beautiful landscape of native oak, wildflowers, and cactus. The Lakes Nine is obviously characterized by the clear blue lakes that come into play throughout the course. There are also wooded ravines and strategically placed bunkers throughout the course for even more challenges. The Creeks Nine, named after the creeks that meander through the layout, this course demands accuracy with water coming into play on several holes and numerous strategically placed bunkers. In addition to the three nines, Hill Country Golf Club also offers a putting green and driving range.

4 Stars are you kidding!

Hyatt Hotel and pool are great and the 90% of staff was very friendly except the bartenders in Charlies Long Bar, but like everywhere they were short staffed and sometimes you had to wait awhile to get served! Breakfast buffet was one of the best!

We have a group of 16 to 20 college buddies that have played golf from coast to coast for the past 28 years, and this was by far the worse designed and course conditions that we have ever played on. Many greens on all three courses, Oaks especially had more dirt than grass. The fairways were in good shape, but the rough had more hardpan than grass and the tee boxes were spotty at best! We played 4 rounds of golf and spent almost $500, not worth the cost! Hyatt needs to scrap all 27 holes and bring Fazio or Nicklaus to redesign the entire property. Because the terrain and topography are outstanding with all the oak trees, lakes, creeks, shrubs, and great weather most of the year, they could charge $200+ a round and have a full tee sheet! Spend a little more money and go play an outstanding golf course at La Cantera about 18 minutes away!

Greens in bad shape

For the price it cost to play it’s not worth it. If they know they’re having problems with the greens then low the cost to play. Nice layout

Hyatt

Fairways were dry but lack of rain will do that to a course. The greens were good except for a few that needed some work. Overall the course was in good shape.

Rough conditions

I was surprised by the poor conditions of the course (specifically the greens). About 4 greens were barely puttable. I have played far better recently for far less money. It was my first time here after wanting to play for a long time. What a shame.

This course is absolutely not worth the money!!

We traveled from Dallas and have played similar courses in this price range in the San Antonio area and for this course to be $150 a person is a joke. I wouldn’t have played this course for $30. When we approached the staff about our concerns they simply just said they are waiting on rain…but their job should be to keep course conditions good and playable. These greens were terrible and tee boxes were poorly taken care of. They tried to comp our round and we simply will not even be coming back here again.

I understand…but disappointing

I was really looking forward to playing the course. My wife and I visited the resort last year, but I wasn’t able to play.

However, yesterday was very disappointing…definitely NOT worth $100. I understand it’s still early in the year and everything is still dormant, but the greens had weeds on them and the tee boxes were mostly mud. The starter seemed uninterested, and wouldn’t tell me which 9 holes we would be starting on until right before we teed off. However, the young lady on the beverage cart was friendly and was the only one who seemed to care about our experience at your golf course.

Maybe don’t charge full price until the course justifies it.

Oh well…next time I’ll go back to La Cantera. Much better experience for the same price.
