Hill Country Golf Club - Lakes/Creeks

Played an afternoon round. Course was in good shape. Always know what I'm getting here and love playing when I'm in town.

I have played Hill County many times since the course opened in the early 90's.

The layout and spring time rains make this a beautiful track.

The only issue was the sanding of the greens. Which I was not told about prior to booking my tee time.

But for the price it is a great value.

I have played here fairly often over the past ten years.

They have an amazing pro shop and the staff is very friendly, especially Dallas who was all by himself on Good Friday and handled it very well.

Aaron is the starter and he has been doing a bang- up job for many years here. Cordiality is the word here.

These courses are in the best condition during both winter and summer over the years. It's one of the few operations that overseeds in town. Winter playing condition are the best.

The Lakes, Creeks, and Oaks are the three nines.

The original 18 was designed by Arthur Hills in the 1990s. In 2005 he added an additional nine holes.

This venue will require all the shots in your bag.

There are lots of water and sand bunkers. The greens are smooth but undulating.

As a resort course, you will have to deal with slower players at times.

First time playing the course on a day that was not very busy, a lot of singles and 2somes, my wife and I finished in 3.5 hours. The Starter was great, lots of info, and redirected us at the turn to the less busy back nine. Played the Creek and Lake 9's, both were in similar good condition, however found the greens to be a little slow. Nice locker room with shower and towels. Not typical​ resort quality, but good value for less than $45.

Nice course. With the hot deal it was definitely worth the money! I give it 4 stars just because I'm comparing it with top of the line course like the Palmer. But his course does top the majority.

What a hidden gem of a course. Can't wait to play again. 3 different 9 hole courses will bring me back in the near future.

Beautiful course that is well maintained. Challenging design but still a lot of fun to play!!

Great courses with superb layouts. Course is in excellent condition.

My wife & I enjoyed this course. It was still in winter condition and just had a couple inches of rain which left course conditions less than best. Also the course was full of players causing slow pace of play. Good for the course, not so good for us! However, we enjoyed our day!

The Oak is a great 9 to play. Narrow fairways and very challenging. You need to be hitting straight off the tee box almost every hole. Not too much driver needed on this 9. You need to play smart and layup often times on the par 5's too. My game was a bit off on this day but enjoyed the layout thoroughly.

Course in very good shape for winter. Challenging layout on Oaks. Lakes a little more room to drive the ball. Overall great day of golf.

If you can get a Golf Now round, this course is a good chance to play a high dollar resort. It compares with other hill country layouts. A lot of doglegs, a lot of "scraggly" crud if you miss the fairways, some elevation changes, lots of greens with mounds and gullies.

I think if you use golfnow or whatever site to get a deal, then that is the way to go. This course is easily worth 30 to 50ish range in my book. The greens were rolling pretty true and quick. The bunkers were immaculate white sand. The layout is a little wonky but the holes were a good mix of easy to challenging. I thought the tee boxes were in kind of bad shape, but not a problem. I love to play here it's my go to. Not too hard like a lot of resort courses. Very playable.
