Vaaler Creek Golf Club

A few hidden surprises not shown by GPS. Otherwise, fairways and greens in good condition. From forward tees, the course appears straight forward. Lots of dog legs right.

Coming in east of Austin - be aware of the traffic lights. Never coordinated - you’lll always catch red and it will slow you down. Plus, be aware that trying to turn left on 281 is a disaster. So give yourself at least an extra hour. 290 between 71 and Dripping Springs is that congested.

Course is in unbelievable shape, as always. Greens were a bit slower at first but the heat helped speed things up as they dried out.

Always a must stop in the San Antonio. Playing again in two days!!

I think it was too early for the worker in the pro shop. Very short to almost rude when asked simple questions for someone’s first time playing. Told me the range was shut down so I didn’t buy range balls. Went by the practice range and many people on it, guessing members. I am not a member but I guess if I was the service would be more friendly. Great course and starters we very friendly.

Worth the Drive

Excellent

Pace of play - on time !

The course is in amazing shape especially considering the temperatures we have had over the last 5 weeks. No dried out or dead areas and even the rough was in good shape. Well worth the drive up from Boerne. If you haven't played there, put it on your play list.

Reserved a foursome for this date but wasn’t made aware at the time of booking that the greens would be vertucut and heavily sanded that week. The work took place on Mon/Tue yet by Friday the greens were still covered and made me think of playing on sand greens in the Middle East. Shouldn’t be charging the same price for poor greens. And why not work the sand into the greens and eliminate the excess?

I would highly recommend the drive to this course as it is well worth the investment of time and money. We were a twosome and played behind two foursomes in 4 hours. Where else can you do that on a public course? I am a member the The Dominion and this course is every bit as challenging and beautiful.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I will be going back as often as i can.

The course is not conveniently located which is fine if the course conditions are either good or, if not, communicated up front and the price of the round reflects the adverse conditions. The course aerated their greens on Mon/Tue (confirmed by starter), didn’t communicate the adverse conditions, and still had the cojones to charge $100 for the joy of watching your ball either plinko itself among the aeration holes or rooster tail excess sand the full length of the putt. If you were lucky, you could experience both ends of that spectrum on a single putt. If I’m going to drive that far, I need some assurances that conditions are communicated or the price of the round is discounted to an acceptable point reflective of the adverse conditions. This was a blatant money grab and I won’t do business w/ a course who operates this way. Can’t recommend for others to make such a long drive for such poor value and unacceptable conditions.

Excellent course condition and layout tee to green
