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.

Vaaler Creek-Great Track

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 greens

The greens are very difficult for a first time round at this course. You must put the ball in the right spot and level to have reasonable putts. Overall the course was in great condition except for the tee boxes and no one raking the bunkers. I will definitely play here again when I’m in the area!

Course is hard AF

The staff is kinda unfriendly but the course is pristine. Greens are fast, fairways are somewhat narrow, have fun and play strategic. Don’t do to much, especially if it’s windy!
