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.

Course is in great shape

It's been hot and pretty dry in Austin, but the course was in great shape. Tee boxes for par 3's in particular were a bit beaten up but the fairways and greens were in really good condition. Starter was helpful with pulling together a couple of singles and a two-some to help prevent some backups on the course.

I played on a hot deal, so the bang for the buck was great! Just wish I saw the drink cart on the course more than once.

Best course all around

I’ve tee’d off here a lot previously. Every aspect of the course is phenomenal. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes are always green and well kept. The golf carts are in great condition. The staff is nice and friendly. Layout is challenging. Great pace of play. The price is very affordable. Hidden gem of the hill country.

A fabulous golf course

Very creative layout, and challenging but fair. Conditions are excellent except for the unkempt tee boxes and the course seems overly exposed to wind. Greens and fairways are wonderful with the greens running true and consistent.

Hidden Gem

Overall, love the course. In great shape before the dog days of Summer get into full swing. Carts are nice, greens, fairways in good shape. Some water on the course that will lead you to make a decision then live with the results. Not far from me, but could be a drive for others to the Blanco area. Would definitely go back. Rates are more than the muni’s, but They are within reason in comparison to other courses. Definitely going back.
