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.

Short and tight

Great course in an excellent location. Extremely scenic and the pace of play was unbelievable. It often felt like I had the course to myself.

The course is short and tight . If you can consistently hit a 3 iron off the tee this is what I would recommend. Put away the driver

Last minute holiday tee time

So it was week of the 4th and my and kids all had to work so I was free. I decided to book a tee time and the am round starting before 8am was a great deal at $63. I played Creeks and Oaks. The recent aeration did make the greens a little bumpy but the course was in great shape. Round went quick as we played as I was grouped with a twosome and another single. Staff were great and answered every question I had. I enjoyed it so much I came back 3 days later and played Creeks and Lakes for $40 with a early am tee time with a buddy.

One of the best courses in San Antonio,Tx

Great course to play on , has three courses to choose from. The course is immaculate and the staff are very courteous. I enjoy playing there whenever I can, took a friend there that has never played there before and he was very impressed with the golf course, so impressed that we are playing there again this week.

Mediocre.

Not bad and not great! Greens and fairways can use work. Not a visually compelling course and did not care for the three nines layout. Played Lakes and Oaks nines. Pace of play was very slow and no marshals to keep golfers moving along. My wife and I would not play this course again.

Resort GC Staff

The GC itself is in great shape, but the usual resort course expected service was lacking. No one at the Bag Drop Area, Water Bottles upon purchase..... it's not what I am use to. BUT the Restaurant, Locker & Shower facility were at par with Private Club ratings. Overall I would play again. 4⭐️

Risk/Reward allows for great scoring

First, I am a fan of Arthur Hills designed courses. Half Moon Bay in California, Wingpointe (sadly now lost to us) in Salt Lake City, Legendary Run in Cincinnati, and The Legacy in Las Vegas are all favorites. Straightforward golf is what I like. Go for it, you risk a stroke, be successful, and you get at least par. The Lakes/Creek 18 at Hill Country Golf Club is much the same. No one hole stands out as a signature hole yet many holes give one a Tin Cup "go for it" mentality. If you miss, you are in the water or dry creeks and taking drops. Playing safe on this course will guarantee your handicap stays in place. The Par 3's are easily the toughest holes. Strategic bunkering and undulating greens, with several moving front to back are a great test. The pro shop is top notch and the Antlers Lodge for food and drinks also is highly regarded. Service is outstanding. The course name is a misnomer. No hills to be found with the exception of Arthur!

Hill Country close to it's best

Although a really rough storm came through the night before, the course still looked amazing. The range was closed and the course was "cart path only". I felt that the course, itself, was pretty dry; so walking was uncalled for. However, we still had a really good time.

Thank you for your honest review. We apologize that the weather did not cooperate the night before. Just as a precaution we normally keep the course cart path only to a strict 90 degree rule after a hard rain. We appreciate your patience and hope to see you again on a dryer day.

Not like Target... Expect Less. Pay More.

I wanted to enjoy this course. It was a course I actually saw constructed when I grew up just a few miles away. Well, I finally came back and I was disappointed. First, the staff were a mixed bag of morning emotion. One guy in particular (the starter) made it a terrible experience for my brother and I. We are both in the military and San Antonio is a military city. I set this particular tee time to bond with my brother and it was his first time golfing so he doesn't know all the unspoken rules of golf. Before we even tee' off, this staff member lays into us about how we should dress, act and have, basically berating my brother right in front of me. I'm furious. It's Memorial Day weekend golf and you are treating service members like that? Then this guy leans in on me and says I probably don't know the first thing about golf and is trying to one up me about his golf knowledge and prestige. An opportunity to spend with my brother who I don't see often and this guy ruins our morning before we even start. Anyways, the course proved uninspiring and the greens were in fair shape at best. Number 7 was awful covered with sand and several patches of no grass turf at all. Overall, not a pleasant experience from a course that makes you shell out $90 a round and has a grand resort on it. The clubhouse and amenities are impressive in appearance, but definitely lacks charm or something.

I am so sorry for your bad experience today, this is not something that we like to hear! We honor and appreciate all military personal and are extremely disappointed to hear about this situation. The gentleman in question will be put on notice and receive a complete write up. We hope that this one experience will not effect you playing in the future. As for the rates we do offer discount on militaryteetimes.com if you have not booked there please check it out. Thanks
