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.

Hard to pass up

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.

Great course

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.

Worthy course, for now

Overall positive, but constructive criticisms follow:

- many of the pins were placed in extreme locations.

- the greens seemed slower than normal.

- too many tee boxes were rough and/or crowned.

Practice range and practice putting green are good. The starter is friendly and engaging. The cart person is delightful. Sad to see so many homes being built on the course; in time, it will be just another course in the middle of a neighborhood.

Very fun course!

My first time at Vaaler Creek. It is a very fun layout and I had an excellent experience. The course wasn't in perfect condition, but it was okay and playable. Greens could have been faster. I will go back and play again.

Course conditions

I play a lot of municipal and public such as this course. This by far exceeds all others in fairway grass( many courses don’t have much) and conditions of greens. Amazing for this time of year and the lack of rainfall. The superintendent has done an outstanding job!!! Can’t wait to visit again!
