The Creeks Nine is one of three courses at the Hill Country Golf Club. 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. There are also wooded ravines and a variety of elevation changes to keep golfers on their toes. The Oaks Nine is named for the towering oaks that blanket the course. The courses are situated on over 200 acres of scenic Texas Hill Country, giving them each a beautiful landscape of rolling hills and lush meadows dotted with native oak trees and clear blue lakes. Hill Country Golf Club is also home to a driving range and putting green on addition to the three nines.

An excellent resort course

From the moment we arrived we received first class attention from the staff. The course is probably the best resort course we have played in the United States.

Good Shape

Only Lakes and Oaks tracks were open on the day I visited. Starter was great in explaining situation and what to expect as we were stuck behind a "tournament". My expectation was a little longer round, but I had no idea it would take 5 hours. Course was well maintained other than some really wet areas in lower areas. For the price paid, can't complain too much.

Hot Deal/Aeration

My notes were based on a steep discount and some aeration on the greens. The course is pretty friendly with a little wider than average fairways, but the greens can be tricky if you aren't careful. My favorite part of the course overall is that you tee off with many different clubs. All in all, very fun and would play again.

Great Golf Course

The course was perfect except for one thing. The hole locations were changed way to often in the same places and around the hole there were way too many old hole location patches. Other than that the course was pristine. It was challenging, but was getable on the right holes. The staff knew how to go out of their way to be helpful and all in all it was a great time.

Fairways pristine but generally tight. The greens were good to great. Service was cordial but generally below expectation for an expensive resort.

Fairways pristine but generally tight. The greens were good to great but very fast, generally small, sometimes undulating and challenging. Played after noon on a hot August day and course was wide open. Cold water variably supplied on each tee box.

Service was cordial but generally below expectation for an expensive resort -- about what I would expect at say Tapatio or Silverhorn but definitely not up to the service at Westin. Carts GPS screens were scratched up and hard to read distances and the advertised feature of ordering ahead for lunch on GPS did not work and has not worked for some time (yes, a first world tragedy :) ).

Local rate was $49 which was a good value but I probably would go back to Westin next time I want to play a resort course in SA.

Fast greens, tight fairways

Track was moderate to advanced play. For my first time playing it was challenging. I'm a mid to low 80's consistent player and I shot a 94. Maybe I was just having an off day not sure, and it was extremely hot and humid. Looking forward to play it again.

Resort course at a very reasonable price.

The course was in great shape. The greens were somewhat fast but true.Steady play. The club house was very nice and all of the staff were friendly. The food at the grill were good.

This course has some fun holes to play.

My daughter and I played the Lakes and Creeks course. We had a very enjoyable day together and was glad we had the opportunity to play.

Pros
1. Tee boxes and fairways were in very good condition
2. Staff was great to interact with
3. Cart was nice and the GPS was good
4. It was pretty empty so the pace of play was great

Cons
1. My daughter came to practice but they failed to mention that the range tee was closed all week - she couldn't hardly practice because the temporary tee was AWFUL
2. Good thing I booked on GolfNow because the course price was way out of line
3. I didn't think the greens were that good

My daughter shot 78 from the White Tees and I shot 74 from the Back Tees - we thought there were some real good holes. Would play again if I found a good deal on the rates.

Course is great shape as it was just aerified

Great course with 27 holes to play. Any combination of courses will give you all you want. Couple of ways to really score well and they are either be a great bomber of ball down the fairway or be great with your irons, especially those wedges. Need to be an above average putter as there is lots of slope and the greens are nice and fast.

A beautiful course that plays fair.

A really great day of golf. The course was in fabulous condition. Fairways are gorgeous with plenty of room to keep it between the lines. Large greens with challenging pin placement. GPS was a bonus that made the game even more enjoyable. Staff was very friendly & welcoming. An all around great experience. I would definately go back, but only during discounted tee-times.

Terrible design

The staff was very friendly and the course condition were excellent. Both fairways and greens. The problem is the design is awful. Unless that is, you like hitting a ball right down the middle of the fairway, only to have a tree right in your line to the green. And this isn't an occasional circumstance on The Oaks nine. It seems to be on every hole. Also, the first 6 holes on The Oaks 9 were so narrow, you may as well just hit a mid iron from the tee. One the first par 5 on The Oaks, I stepped off the fairway width at the landing area and it was 18 yards wide. That is US Open kind of width. he Creeks was a little better, but also has several stupid holes. I played with a couple of members there. They were both frustrated by it. Not sure why anyone would want to be a member there. If you are a 10 handicap or higher and play there, take 2 dozen balls.

Good but could have been Great except for GPS

The course is in very good shape and well maintained however the day we played our Golf Cart GPS was WAY off on almost every hole! The flag as not even close to being on target and on some of the larger greens was off by more that 50 feet! This made it very difficult for selecting the right club when approaching the green. I feel for the money that is charged for the amenities like GPS they should make sure it's property calibrated/set up.
