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.

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.

Really great day

Yes the construction is a pain and not being able to warm up a bummer. But the place will be great when the project is done. The holes not affected by construction, which is all but 3 on the holes i played, were great and the greens are tough but consistent. Looking forward to another round when the project is done.

Not up to par

My husband and I are avid golfers and have played quite a few amazing courses. We were looking forward to playing here as it received good reviews and was within a hotel/resort community. There was a lot of development activity happening on the course to improve it. I think we just went at the wrong time. Some holes were great, while others seemed not as well maintained. This added to the challenge but not to the ambiance. I wouldn’t return until after construction is completed.

Beware

This course and resort amenities are under major-construction. It's a mess. Multiple holes are shortened due to construction. No driving range just a small area setup to hit wedges. Par 4's and par 5's are turned into short par 3's or extremely short par 4's. Greens are like Velcro and tee boxes are rough.

This course has a ton of potential but I would stay away until

all renovations are complete. If not, you will be disappointed .

The field was in very bad condition and with very little signage, the application should report when a club is under repair or maintenance.
