Hill Country Golf Club - Creeks/Oaks

Played this course numerous times....good layout...challenging..and usually in nice shape....but...wait until the construction is completed...not even close to worth what they are charging...a few temp holes and the course conditions are very "firm"...greens were ok...not what I'm used to...the rest was OK also but not what I'm used to...again wait...it's not worth the price

The course played well and it’s probably one of the best in San Antonio. Can’t wait for the construction to be done.

It’s under construction, they should be charging $25 for now.

Wasn't told till check in that we would be playing the same 9 twice. Even with this being a hot deal $95 not worth the price. Too many other options in the area. This course is worth about $60 in it's current shape.

Course conditions were terrible. Tee boxes like sand traps. Temporary holes and did not notify you before hand of them. Very unprofessional.

Poor fairway and rough conditions. This may be partly due to time of year (not from this area). Layout of some holes is poor. Quite a few of the par fours are short layup holes.

The best way to describe it is to compare it to the Excalibur in Vegas. 25 years ago Excalibur was a top hotel in Vegas, now it’s a cheaper place to stay. The course is the same, 25 years ago the course was one of the best in San Antonio, now age has taken its toll. The price is high for the condition of the course.

Course conditions were terrible. First tee box was like hitting out of a sand trap. Several fairways were shortened or closed and not to notify players before they they make a tee time is unprofessional

Disappointing…

We were really excited to play this course. Unfortunately, upon arriving the starter wasn’t at all helpful. We had no idea that the course was a split up (9x3) layout. We asked the starter for directions to the range. Apparently, this was as simple as “It’s right behind this construction. Just follow the path past the white sign.” We wrongfully assumed that it would be a straightforward quick cart ride around some construction. After 10 mins of driving around the course and finally finding the range we realized we had no idea what course we were starting on. One would hope the front desk would tell you or maybe the starter would mention where we should tee off for our first hole…but not one person thought to give any direction at all.

We called the front desk who sent a Marshall out fairly quickly. Seems like maybe just a hiccup. After another 10 mins drive back to the first hole the Marshall, Dean was not only rude in how he addressed us, he seemed annoyed when we asked what we should do after the first nine holes…because you know…it’s not an 18 hole course and the layout is incredibly difficult to navigate with all of the construction. He finally managed to explain that we needed to check back in with the starter after the front 9 to be assigned a back 9 to play. Again, not a normal golf experience.

Course conditions were worse than any local municiple course I’ve ever played. Greens had patches of overgrowth in sections and large divots (like someone took wedges off of them) in other sections. They must have built these up with a ton of sand because played like concrete in most cases. We could hardly get our tees in most of the tee boxes and gave up on more than one occasion.

On top of the above, Rick (maybe a starter..maybe a bouncer?) seemed annoyed on both occasions we dealt with him. Asked him where to go after the front 9 and he vaguely pointed in a direction and said “Don’t pair up with anyone” because we paired up on the front 9 and I guess that’s not ok here? Saw him again after the incredibly unremarkable back 9 and he barked “park your cart right there!” Again vaguely pointing in a general direction.

Every hole on this courses terrible greens was cut on a side slope for this occasion. As if the greens keeper wanted to cap off this wonderfully mediocre experience with a big middle finger to whosoever dared to play this awfully kept course. It’s truly a shame. This course has potential. The layout makes you think and while a short course, it has some fun challenging positions to play. Unfortunately, they should probably fire the agronomist, maybe the greens keeper, definitely Rick, and maybe give the Marshall, Dean a hug or something.

Fantastic despite the construction. Greens are fast. Fairways in great shape!

Would stay away while they are remodeling the course. It's a mess.

There is just too much construction going on at this site. Three holes had shortened temporary greens due to this construction. Very hard to get around from one hole to another due to required detours. Signage with directions was a bit confusing.

Course also was in poor shape due to drought condition.

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?

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!

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.

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.

Be aware that areas are being updated, so ask ahead of time, where to expect detours.
