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.

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.

Fun

I’ve played this course a few times, and it’s always been a fun course to play. I know we’ve had some freezing weather as of late, but the conditions were “rough” to say the least. Greens were pretty beat up. Impossible to distinguish the fairways from the rough, as they were monochromatic. It could be because of the weather, but I don’t recall it bring this bad. With that being said, it is still a fun course and the value was there for the price.
