Rating 73.7

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.

Under construction

This is a really nice course but right now they are doing construction around the course adding a water area for the resort

Some of the holes are shortened and some are confusing on where to go now

I suggest getting all the information before you can about the changes before playing. Hopefully when the construction is done will go back to the normal course.

Thought it was great!!!

Went in thinking it was going to be horrible from previous reviews. Knowing they were under construction and some holes shortened and one temporary green. Greens were great would hold a shot and still super quick. Fairways were dormant but not an issue. Some tee boxes were a little weak but other than that had a great time. Played in just over 3 hours with a group of four. Can’t wait to see how everything looks after construction is finished.

Just a great golf course

Wonderful layout, challenging but fair. The greens are good but winter conditions exist. The Oaks 9 is a strategists' dream. Direction and distance are a must. Construction and renovation is ongoing presently. No practice putting green. Driving range is limited to 140 yards.

Terrible turf conditions

Fairways are rock hard with poor turf. Rough is burned out with lots of bare areas. Every green is a different firmness. Course conditions are worse than many, if not most $30 munis. I recommend you avoid this course.

Golf Course Not in Playing Condition

I did not know that there were major construction work being done on the course. They should not be charging that kind of money because of the condition of the course. Many of the hole have been torn up. Customers should be informed about the construction and given the choice of whether they want to play or not. My money could've been better spent.

Quality Experience

The layout of the Oaks is extremely challenging in that you must place your tee shot well to avoid tree obstruction to your approach. The greens are well manicured and contoured to excite the best of putters. The fairways are fair and well kept. We played a 3.5 hour round in our threesome.

Construction!

I enjoyed most of the course but found out, while playing, that 4 holes were shortened due to on going construction. They have 3 - nines, Lakes #8 & 9 were shortened substantially while Creek # 1 & 9 were shortened with 9 having a temporary green about 90 yards before the real green. Also, my cart hadn't been updated that #9 on Creek was opened (guess it was closed earlier) and it wouldn't let me proceed until I called the pro shop and they reset the cart.

Hill Country Under Remodeling

There is so much going on to remodel the course and its practice facility, it is hard to get a true rating if enjoyment. What was normal, makes these 3 nine hole layouts a good challenge. There was one temporary green and two modified tee box making this really to Par 35 layout for each nine.The greens were okay but very hard to read that makes it really a great challenge. I was notified of the construction modifications ongoing before I set the tee time.

Poor

Poor course conditions. Limited range irons only. Poor directional signage. Temporary tees and greens. Greens fees were way too high for current course presentation. Disappointing at best.
