Vaaler Creek Golf Club

First time playing. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Staff were helpful and accommodating to our needs. We even enjoyed the wildlife around the course.

First, I liked the overall layout of the course, although I did learn a few costly lessons to study the GPS in the cart before hitting (through the fairway a few times). The course wasn’t in the best condition, but they get a pass on that due to the snowstorm a couple weeks ago. I don’t know how the condition of the course would be on a normal day, but I feel they take care of it.

A couple of things I didn’t like included the massive elevation changes on the greens. If the greens were in decent condition and somewhat fast you could be in for a world of hurt. To exemplify this on the 9th green I had 3 putts in a row end up further behind me than when I started, because I didn’t make it up the hill. I also didn’t love that you couldn’t easily tell which tee you were at as the paint was mostly off all the tee markers. On a few tees we had challenges getting the tee in the ground, which is a worrisome sign for when it actually gets hot and dry.

Beyond that it is a fun course, perhaps a touch over priced, but not too badly. Just be careful on the greens, 5 putts aren’t fun.

Enjoy playing g this course, the 18th hole is a tough one.

My brother and I play Vaaler today and other than being very windy it was a great day. The course as always was in great condition.

Always a fun and challenging course ro play with friendly people. Not for the novice golfer.

We played 27 holes on a near perfect Texas February morning through afternoon. I am an older, learning the game, golfer while my friends are younger and more experienced players. We all had a great time. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The greens are in great shape. The green on number 7 (I think) is daunting. Pin placement was extreme at the top left and anything short of reaching the plateau at the top 20% of the green rolls back off the green. One of my friends putted up the face of the green and unfortunately did not reach the plateau. His ball rolled back down and completely off the putting surface.

Great conditions on course for January. Greens in good shape. Fairways green. Layout can be challenging. Staff was very friendly and helpful

Fun course, with some challenges. Love it! The staff was awesome from the pro shop, the drink cart ladies, and an excellent marshal who made his rounds to assure everyone was enjoying their round. I'll be back and bring friends!
