Rating 73.7

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.

Worst Course and Experience

The pricing is ridiculous, the whole course is horrible, staff is unfriendly and have no golf etiquette. This course has really gone down hill year after year. Management has no idea what they are doing. No golf balls, no care for course or their members or guests. Stay away.

Course is in below average condition, similar to the Alamo city golf trail but with higher prices. Layout is great, the starters and pro shop staff were great as always. The beverage/snack employee was unnecessarily hostile and unpleasant (twice now).

First Round of the Year

The course was in good shape with the exception of the greens. Very very slow, bumpy and filled with ball marks. The driving range was closed when we arrived and unfortunately, the putting and chipping green was a pretty accurate reflection of what we would find on the course. If I had read some of the past reviews before booking, I would have looked for somewhere else for my son and I to play.

This course used to be one of the best in town, a fun layout with 3 different 9s. Now, the conditions are terrible: overgrown bumpy greens, dead patches, weeds, dirt patches, overgrown trees, rude staff. Sad to see a once great course in worse shape than most munis in the area.
