Vaaler Creek Golf Club
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.

Golfer Reviews
Game of Strategy
I have only played this course a couple times but, there is a good reason why. The course requires a lot of strategy to be able to score. Also, the price point is a little high to be able to play all the time. I enjoy playing this course a lot and it is very pretty. It is just a little far for me to play more than once a year. I really like this course though. It is a good time! Would recommend this course to anyone that hasn't played it.
Keeps getting better
The course is in excellent condition, and they continue to improve certain aesthetic features such as the lakes and hazards. The staff really works to make for a good experience. Because the course continues to get “discovered’ the pace of play is now good (4:15) but not as fast as it was previously. Enjoyable layout requiring all the shots in your bag.
Another great day at Vaaler Creek
I took a friend for his first time. Vaaler Creek never disappoints and we even got the senior rate. The course was in great shape and plays tough but fair. Greens were pristine and plenty of spectacular Hill County views. We got paired with two great guys and had fun day. It’s worth the drive, check it out!
Excellent condition
Fairways were great and greens were also. Some greens have challenging breaks, others were mostly flat. Overall was a great experience and I'll plan to go back.
$25 dollar Green for $50 fee
Fairway condition and course layout are good. Greens had just been through significant maintenance with aeration done the day before my tee-time. Tee-time booking note did not mention anything like that was planned and should have warned players ahead of time, at booking time or as soon as the work is planned to allow customers to make an informed decision.

I've played numerous courses around the Hill Country in a 70 mile radius from Austin and this is by far the best course. The layout is superb. This is a very fun course. None of the holes are unfair and the course is excellently maintained. Greens and fairways are superb. I just wish it was closer to me.
Great course
Excellent condition and good pace of play. They are improving on COVID protection with all practice green flags out and masks in the pro shop. Overall, great experience!
Awesome Hill Country Golf
This course is a hidden gem in the Hill Country. Challenging and beautiful course that is a “must play”!!
This is a MUST play course!!!
Visiting family in New Braunfels.. had to drive 40 mins to get there. Arrived and was greeted by courteous staff that pointed me in the right direction. Needed breakfast ... got a burrito (great breakfast) and chatted with other players! Everyone was in good spirits!! Course was immaculate!!! They did Aerate a couple weeks prior but doesn’t change my opinion! Great military rate as well!!
