Vaaler Creek Golf Club

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!

Really enjoyed playing here. The greens are in great shape and the course is good challenge. The only minor downside is the sheer amount of deer poop on the course. I know there isn't much the course can do about that but it was a distraction.

Cold morning to strart, and the 4-some in front of us played at a slow pace, but the weather warmed up and the the round was overall enjoyable.

Played in January, so the course was not at its best, but tee boxes, fairways and greens were in good shape. Course offers a lot of Hot Deals on GolfNow so it was busy on an early Wednesday afternoon. Waited several minutes on most tees and in the fairway. Quit after 9 holes because it was too slow.

This is the 5th time I have played Vaaler and enjoyed playing it again. Course was in very good condition considering the time of the year.

Only issue I had was the amount of 5-somes on the course. They were relatively fast but still holding up a foursome. Martial said there was only one 5 some on the course but when we continued playing we ran into another 4 groups that had 5 people.

With this being a Sunday with a 1 pm tee off expect to have delays as the local golfers that belong to this club obviously get priority on what they want to do!

We have played Vaaler Creek three or four times now. It is a nice course with just about the right amount of difficulty. The most challenging hole for me is 18 because of the carry over the water to the green. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We have not used the food options as we always go into Blanco for BBQ. The only negative (and this is definitely not a show stopper) is that the practice range is quite a distance from the pro shop and from the first tee. All in all we really look forward to playing here once or twice a year. (we live in Austin)

It had been a while since I had made the trip up 281 to Vaaler Creek. The course always delivers great golf. The contrast looks wonderful. Conditions for January couldn’t be better. All the recent course renovations are now finished and look fantastic. The secret of such a great course is out because the pace can suffer a bit, but it’s well worth playing.
