Vaaler Creek Golf Club

Course layout lacking. Too many irons off tee on par fours. Too much cart time between holes . Felt lost most of time due to road travel between holes. Had 8:30 tee time booked,arrived at first tee 8:20 as threesome was leaving box. Starter said there was a mistake because the group had 4 players not three and he would work me in somewhere. I said it looks like one of the carts had a ride along because only one set of clubs on cart. Starter said wait on box and he would go check. Sure enough one was a rider only and he said tee off and join the group. Awkward way to start the round to say the least. If I book an 8:30 time a week in advance, check in at 8:00 arrive at first tee 8:20 and this occurs there must be communication problem between pro shop and starter.

Really fun track. Overall fairly short, but enough hazards to get your attention. Greens were fun with a ton of undulation. You need to know where to leave your approach shots.

One suggestion if you are playing for the first time. The driving range and first tee are not close to the clubhouse and directional signage is lacking, so be sure you inquire where things are. Unfortunately, even if you have a general idea of where you think you are headed, there needs to be more signage.

Now that we know the ropes, we will definately be back!

Tough course, but beautiful scenery,well maintained with kind and welcoming Texas players. Really enjoyed the course, even with bad result. Will come back with my own clubs.

Nice course. Fairly tough. Good value with GolfNow

Vaaler Creek's two nines were built at different times and appear to have been designed two by different designers. The front is tighter. The back is more expansive. Both sides feature a nice variety of holes. The course conditions were very good, with lush fairways, good bunkering and healthy greens that held well-struck shots and were moderately fast and true. The staff was pleasant and professional. The carts were new and had plenty of juice. Concession prices were reasonable. What more can a golfer ask?

Vaaler golf course is a nice little gem outside of Banco. It has a little bit of everything. It has some challenging holes, very good quick greens, and some open holes as well. I’m looking forward to playing it again soon.

Only issue was pace of play. Other than

That, great day.

Fun course to play. Great layout. Early on lots of shot making. 17 is a beast

Love this course. Play it every time I’m in the area. Requires some tight shot making. Greens were perfect. 17 is a beast.

This course is in excellent shape it’s like playing in a upscale course coating hundreds of dollars except the cost was only 40 dollars. I cannot talk enough about the pace of play nobody holding us up and no nipping at our heels. It was excellent can’t recommend enough.

Course conditions are absolutely perfect. Fairways are pristine.
