Hill Country Golf Club - Lakes/Oaks

This course was built twenty years ago, and the third nine was added in 2005.
We have played here quite a few times. It has three distinct nines; the Creeks, The Lakes and the Oaks.
We played the Lakes and the Oaks.
Both courses are dominated by gnarly Bermuda roughs which tend to over run everything.
The fairways on the Oaks are more narrow, but both nines have plenty of trees along the fairways.
Sadly, neither the greens nor the tees are being mowed. They over seeded with winter rye grass and the greens are bumpy and very thick.
Overall, this is a nice golf course with lots of nice scenery and privacy. You are mostly by yourself out here.
There are some wet areas that need work in front of some greens.
This is a fair and sporty resort style golf course with very helpful employees like Jeff the starter.
Because there are three different nines intersecting, the signs could be confusing to a new player.
They have an amazingly decorated and stocked pro shop and a great restaurant next door called Antlers.

I will go back becayse it is a great corse and good a great price

Greens are fast and undulating. Makes putting an adventure. Combination of canyon golf and hills golf. Lots of fun.

GPS systems do not work well. Pin positions set up in corners, knolls and greens werr worn. Also being overseeded.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Took my dad for his anniversary, and we had a great time. The course was in great condition and the price was right.

I live nearby and never imagined such a beautiful course hidden. I will definitely be going back!

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.

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.

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.

Good course - planning on playing it again. Great for all level golfers.

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.

Great price for a good round of golf on a good course.

Awesome tee boxes fairways! Greens weren't perfect but still very nice.

Highly recommend this course to anyone of any skill level. Beautiful course in flawless condition!!

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 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.
