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.

The greens were recently aerated and sanded but nothing alerted when I booked on golf now. The big complaint is pace of play. They are hosting junior golf event the next day so kids were playing their practice round. No notice when I booked or when I arrived at the course.

Oaks/ Creek - very good layout - greens not so much!

Played the Oaks /Creek at Hyatt Hill Country and had a mixed bag of experiences! First the shop guys , the pro ( Joey ) and the starters were all top shelf ! Friendly , helpful , just good down to earth people ! However , when you walked out to the practice area , it looked like it hadn’t been watered for a year ! Once on the course, the fairway conditions were very good but the greens were VERY slow and bumpy ! The layout is really nice , the carts have GPS and course maps which is a big help ! Once they get the greens back in shape I could easily give this 4 stars !

Not a fan

I understand it’s hot. The heat probably makes it impossible to keep the course alive. But the course was in really bad condition…. Especially the greens. It was not worth what I paid…

And it cost $21 just to park onsite! That part was never mentioned that I could see.

I won’t go back I don’t think.

Watch for tournaments at course.

3-9hole courses. When i arrived. Was told i was playing same 9 twice due to tournament. I called ahead twice to confirm tee time. No disclosure of the tourney to me. I will say Joey from pro shop took care of me though. Thank You Joey. Next day played the other 9’s. Hot but enjoyable. Enjoyed my foursome!

Hard grounds

Course has a good layout and not a high grade of difficulty. Most difficult part is dealing with the very hard grounds, from fairways, to around the greens. Your clubs will bounce off the ground. Lots of chip-and-run instead of pitching. There seems to be plenty of water around, don’t know why grounds are not better.

Play this course ASAP

What a treat to play, this course is spectacular The only downside to yesterday was getting there an hour early and being told that the driving range was closed. But the guy allowed me to get out early and I got paired with some very nice gentlemen. This is one of the best public golf courses I’ve ever played, and I can’t wait to play it again.

Overpriced!

This course was one step up from a municipal course. The staff was friendly but for the price point, definitely not worth it. With some TLC from the grounds crew, this course could be a lot better, in my opinion.

Great Course - Give it a week

Overall this is fantastic course in the San Antonio area. Staff is very professional, course is in decent shape (more below) and costs this time around were amazing.

Course Conditions - We got to go off cart path finally, and I saw the ball hit and run for the first time in a while. The greens look like they just got some top dressing with some sand. Although there was noticeable sand, it did not impede the roll of the ball, you just needed to clean your ball each time you putted. The tee boxes were a bit fuzzy in some places, but overall in good shape.

This was my first time being able to use the range prior to teeing off because I was not being rushed off the boxes. The range balls are provided, but the size of the warm up bag is very very small.

The bar area is under renovation too, so off course amenities were limited. I did see the beverage cart more than once as well.

This was the first time playing the creeks; which is probably the most forgiving of the 3 nines. The creeks is wide open with some interesting dog legs, but they were generally very generous to a miss, and not overly penalizing.

I got paired with two beginners - no issues there. However after a few holes, I decided to play on my own and didn't see another group until hole 16 of 18 - I played 18 in about 2 hours and 45 minutes - and that is after playing the first 4 holes in about 45 minutes.
