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.

Great track. Fairways and greens are in great condition. Played a busy Saturday so the round was slower than expected but not crazy long.

No longer a Hill Country gem

I’ve been playing this course for two years and the course conditions are steadily going downhill. Significant turf loss around the greens, approaches and some fairways. Tee boxes are horrible dirt patches and the practice area has always been poor but now it’s even worse. I wouldn’t make a 30 minute drive to play this course.

We will come back

Loved this course! We will be back. The course was absolutely beautiful and the views were spectacular. We saw deer from time to time on the side of the fairways. My wife got her first birdie on 16. We had a great time.

Greens were sanded and tough to putt. We were not alerted to this issue prior to the round. After quick front nine, very slow back with no Marshall. No balls available on the Driving Range for our 12:30 tee time. Bathrooms were unattended and dirty. I did like the layout because I played it previously.

First time

Tee to green was perfect. Well manicured throughout. Greens were recently sanded and weren’t mowed. Not even worth putting on. Frustrating

Fun course to play. Many of the shots need to be placed. Some tricky greens to putt. Two very difficult finishing holes.

Great experience!

My husband and I played golf at this course on May 10, 2021. We played with two other people one was Gilbert Lopez, who works at the course to maintain the immaculate fairways and greens. The layout was beautiful yet challenging. The fairway grass was probably better than most PGA courses… I would definitely recommend this course, You won’t be disappointed! Gilbert Lopez takes pride in his work and it shows!

Will be back to play.

Great country track. Lil crazy lay out going from hole to holes and the range but who cares right.? Super cool holes and well maintained. The dude in the pro shop was a lil rude but the marshal and the crew at the grill were awesome!
