Hill Country Golf Club - Lakes/Oaks
About
Hill Country Golf Club offers three nines, all of which sprawl across 200 scenic acres of Texas Hill Country. The terrain is provided with rolling meadows and steep hillsides dotted with tranquil lakes and ponds that come into play throughout the 27 holes. 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 Oaks Nine is named for the towering oaks that blanket the course. From wooded ravines to tree-lined fairways, this nine is a demanding test of accuracy. There are strategically placed bunkers and water comes into play on a few holes. The courses, which were designed by well-known architectural firm Arthur Hill & Associates, have received praise from both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.

Creek Course #9 Photo submitted by GreerGolf on 06/06/2017
Would stay away while they are remodeling the course. It's a mess.
Course Greatly Affected By Construction
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.
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.
Areas under construction!
Be aware that areas are being updated, so ask ahead of time, where to expect detours.
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.
Under construction
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!
