Rating 73.0

Conveniently located near downtown San Antonio not too far from Austin, Vaaler Creek Golf Club has a memorable layout of gently rolling hills dotted with creeks, ponds and lakes. The course begins with a challenging front nine and then eases up a bit on the back nine, but overall it is a formidable test. The greens are tricky and demanding, especially on the front nine where there are some severe slopes and undulations. The back nine greens are a bit flatter but they still require careful attention. The rolling, contoured fairways are lined with trees and there are deep bunkers strategically guarding the greens, but luckily there are only seventeen of them. Water hazards come into play throughout and there are also several doglegs and blind shots if there wasn’t enough to keep you on your toes.

Windy weather
Used cart

Cart path only until further notice

It hasn't rained lately, so I asked why it was cart path only. They said that it was due to the continuing drought. The course was in really good shape, but the greens were recently sanded. It was a Thursday mid day tee time, but the course was really packed. With the cart path only, it was a five hour round.

Outstanding course

A fantastic course in a beautiful setting. D spite the long hot summer the course was in excellent condition. Only aspect to improve would be the selection of refreshments available on location.

Great Day

It was a little bit of a hassle being cart path only but with the harsh drought conditions we’ve all endured, it was wonderful having grass to hit off of! great day!

Comparison

Compared to Wimberley JJRANCH, Rebecca Creek, Canyon Lake, Vaaler Creek is in best shape. Others have succumb to current drought conditions including Hidden Valley Marble Falls.

Another great round at Vaaler Creek

It’s great to play on green grass, raked sand bunkers.and surrounded by nature. Staff was friendly and helpful. Be sure to ask for Senior or Military rates if they apply to you.

Enjoy!!
