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.

Good Course but losing interest

No question this is a good course and fun to play. Always in good condition and staff is friendly. Our complaint is that prices are going up and for what purposes?? Play has gotten much slower. There are other courses in the area that, value wise, are much better options. Give Delaware Springs a try or Grey Rock.

Stupid tee & pin placements

Whoever setup the tee boxes and pin placements is a moron and should be fired. The tees were located on sloped and uneven sections of the tee box. Par three holes were especially patchy so it was hard to find a good spot to hit from. Pin placements were a joke, but nobody was laughing. Hole #2 pin was literally 2 yards from the back of the green. I love this course because it’s challengng, but the setup took some of the fun out of it.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course With a course being over seeded it was in great shape. The layout is very interesting especially the last two homes. One of the best courses we played on this 2000 mile trip.

Very nice course. Really well maintained. Challenging holes for all levels of golfers. Courtesy warm up range balls were provided which was nice. Can’t wait to play there again and get a better score.

Greens not great

They had sanded the greens. You would think a discount would be applied for these conditions. Also wish they had a club/ball cleaner on the carts.
