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.

Nice Course with Slow Greens and Slow Play

I play this course 1-2x per year as the course has a very interesting layout, particularly the contours of the greens. Be prepared that these greens, while in great shape, are very slow. Otherwise, the course is a lot of fun.

Personal pet peeve - I have never played a round here in less than 4.5 hours. Usually 5 hours or more. Had to wait on at least 15 holes today.

Didn't Disappoint Again

Played a couple of other courses the week in Austin that were no where near the condition of Vaaler. Not to say this was the greatest condition but was definitely playable and somewhat challenging. Worth the trip.

Nice layout

Course was in great condition. We had trouble with GPS on the golf cart as we had to drive in reverse on several holes on the cart path. Three holes when leaving the green headed to the next tee box while on the cart path the cart would shut down and had to drive in reverse for 75-100’.

They let groups of 5 tee off and the pace of play shows. Great course and layout but only come here if you want a 5hr+ round

They let groups of 5 go off and the slow play is awful. Only come to this course if you want a 5hr+ round. Beautiful and challenging course but the slow play is the worst around

Great course, but pace is getting slower every time.

This is a really fun course to play but the pace has gotten progressively slower every time I go out. Just this last time, the entirety of the back nine was stacked at least two groups deep at the tee boxes.

Exceptional Golf Experience

Challenging unique design. Prior knowledge of the yardages required for layup distance. Hit a couple of drivers perfect right into the hazard. Condition for time of year was good.The bathroom was in bad condition. No water available on the course. Traps needed manicured in some situations.

Very much position course

Many corners , sloping fairways and tilted greens make it a difficult course especially the first time . Throw in a creek that meander thru and well placed traps it might have you pulling your hair out. The fairways and greens were in great shape especially for early March.

The man in the pro shop acted like he didn't care if you were there or not ; however, there was an extremely helpful lady there .

Unorganized

I was quoted a price of $45 and charged $50. They also charged $25 for my friend’s wife to ride along. The carts are in a tent past what looks like the main building but by the time we found out we had walked about a quarter mile to the player assistant who explained and had carts brought to us. He was very friendly and the biggest plus of my experience there.
