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.

Hold of while its under construction

They are building a water park at the expense of their 27 holes. It's sort of a mess as of March 2025. Maybe they have a long term plan?

Solid Value

Hyatt resort staff treat you well and we got a great deal on the round. Lots of construction going on and 2 holes were modified. Didn’t have to wait at all. Pace of play was excellent. Most of the fairways, greens and bunkers weee in great shape. Greens were fast!

Course under construction

Please note on your website that this course is under repair. Lots of temporary holes! Definitely not worth the cost at the moment. I’m very disappointed in the course and you would help your client tell if you marked that it was under repair when people reserve teetimes.

Crappy

The course is under construction and it should be noted that it’s under construction. Tons of temporary holes. Cost is exorbitant for the conditions. Grains were very nice shape, however.

Course is under construction

Nice layout. Greens were fair. Fair price for the construction work going on. The beer and alcohol i don’t know what it is about Texas but i never spent that much on a California course. 14$ for a shooter of fireball is absurd.

Under Construction

There is major construction going on, which wasn’t mentioned when I booked. You can tell under normal circumstances it’s a nice course and I would play it again. A few of the holes had makeshift tee boxes and putting greens. Some of the signing could have been more prominent.

This course gives you glimpses of what they are aiming to create! When the construction is done it will be amazing. But right now there were to many temp. Greens and tee boxes.

Fun if you don't keep a handicap.

The current construction precludes posting your score to GHIN. However, the construction means tee times are plentiful. We were neither hurried nor slowed during our round. The highlights: I missed a hole in one by literally an inch; we were sad to miss the challenge of a couple holes that had temporary greens in the fairway; despite starting midday, we were able to park very close to the clubhouse. Play here if you want to speed through 18 and don't care about posting a score. Otherwise, check with the pro shop as construction evolves to weigh your options.

I understand the course is under construction but it was confusing several times as to where is the next hole. I would love to play again when construction is complete. I played the Oaks and Lakes. Did not use the off course amenities.

Wait til construction is complete’

OK, they are building a lagoon and apparently moving some holes. But the course is a mess. Several par 4 and par 5 holes are now par 3. The way finding is terrible. We spent as much time trying to find the next hole as we did playing golf. We never did find the 18th hole. Just gave up and quit in frustration.

My issue is why there was nothing on GolfNow to let us know the course was under construction. We could have found another location. I think it’s wrong on the part of both the Hyatt AND GolfNow.

Horrible Experience/Cavaet Golfer

Horrible experience, all holes were cart path only. Pathetic impression left with my guest from Canada.

You need to be more honest on your Golf Now sales and tell us no practice range and the construction impact on 2 9th hole closing greens.

Expected more for the price and hype

Course rebuild is causing confusing hole locations.

Greens were tall.

This course would have to be heavily discounted again before I play it again.

In process of remodel

Unbeknownst to me the course was under going a resort remodeling and routes around holes and many holes were temporary greens or changed completely.

Not sure if remodeling will be an improvement for golf as much as the reaort.

Decent while under significant repairs

The course is under significant repair/renovation. I wasn’t aware upon booking however, course was playable. Several holes with significant alterations but not specified during check-in. Communication (at start or check-in), of course condition & alterations should be enhanced.

Under construction

one third of the course in under renovation and that's a good thing. I've played there several times. What is upsetting is Golf pass did not alert that this was happening. Had I knew, I would have gone someplace else.

The course was not in good shape (the playable part, watering desperately needed. Greens were OK, traps were very nice and staff was helpful, esp since there was temporary golf cart paths thru construction, fairways with greatly shortened lengths with those annoying, "hey let's make a green right here in the middle of the fairway..."

This normally is a well maintained Resort course here is San Antonio. Right now, the muni's here have this resort beat!

Under construction

This is a really nice course but right now they are doing construction around the course adding a water area for the resort

Some of the holes are shortened and some are confusing on where to go now

I suggest getting all the information before you can about the changes before playing. Hopefully when the construction is done will go back to the normal course.

Not worth the time

I’m sure when it’s at its peak it is good but this course was all cut up, had like 7 par 3’s

We should have been told it was like this
