About
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.

Winter Texan golf
Played 18 holes in 3 hours. Greens are firm but putt true. A must play north up 281.
No longer the gem it was
Used to come here and could play in 3 hours tops. Now it seems the secret is out. Course was in great shape for winter and staff was friendly. I might come back if I can figure out when to shorten the round from 5 hours on a wends.
expensive separate carts
We wanted separate carts as one had a possible exposure recently. We thought $20 extra was a little steep for a weekday on top of the $70 each already paid.
The best thing about the day was having a leisurely hour drive home thru Hill Country (on devil's Backbone on hwy 32) rather than thru some metropolitan rush hour.
Blanco Golf
The greens were excellent exept one green. The course is fun and challenging.
Worth the Drive
I live in Georgetown so the course is a pretty good distance. Bur t it is worth the drive. Excellent conditions and a fairly challenging course. I hope to get back there at least one more time this year. Really enjoyed playing there.
Great greens. Outrageous green fees.
If you don’t mind spending $80 to play around, the golf course is for you. The greens are almost always in fantastic shape. The course is usually moving at a good pace.
Unfortunately they’re closed on Tuesdays.
Grandpa and Grandson Time
Grandson and I have a great time playing Vaaler. Vaaler is fun and challenging!
great course!
Very spread out, would be hard to walk. Have to use street to travel to hole 1. Could use better signage. Driving range not close.
Great experience though! Helped that I played with someone familiar with course.
Plan to return soon!
This course is usually in good shape. It was very windy when I played so the course can be a bit unforgiving and narrow. I’d recommended checking that before. Some of the greens and tee boxes were pretty eaten up but on most other holes they were seemingly fine. The fairways were in great condition
Hidden Gem
Vaaler Creek is a true beauty. I live in San Antonio & it’s well worth the 50-60 minute drive. Course conditions are excellent right now. Definitely recommend
Marshalls
The Course was in really good shape. Great staff and it was a "ok experience." The problem is there was no Marshalls working. I understand the economics. But, we were stuck behind the slowest folks known to man. They hit more than one shot from about anywhere they wanted. They were playing behind a 2-some, one riding and one walking. The 2-some played moderately ok, but when it got dark, the walker should have hopped in the cart. They and the 4 some in front of us, made it a long day with us finishing the last 1.5 holes in the Dark. Marshalls would have helped,,. It took us over 6 hours to play. Really good course, but terrible pace of play this day.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Boxes were a little week
Overall the course is in great shape. I think the 2nd tee box was really weak and had little to no grass on it. Other than that the course was in excellent condition.
Refund
I was scheduled to play on Saturday but due to weather conditions I had to cancel, I don’t have my refund yet
