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.

Biblically Horrific Greens

My foursome drove in from Austin and we were shocked to see the practice green covered with sand. There was no warning or indication on GolfNow that this was going to be an issue. We broached this issue with the gentleman that collected 60+ plus dollars from my brother ( the rest of us got a Hotdeal price of $40 ) and he couldn’t care less. It’s going to be some time before I ever consider playing this course again.

Find Somewhere Else

This is not a local course; you've got to travel and want to play it unless you happen to live near. NO notice was given that the greens were heavily sanded and unplayable. No discounts were given, no range comp, etc. When asked in shop about lack of notice regarding the greens, they claimed it was "posted" and dismissed the fact we all traveled an hour to play. Tee boxes are domed (doomed) and sloped (sloppy). For the money there are many better options in central TX. It's the last time we play there.

Great course but watch the wind.

I love this course. Maybe I’m unlucky, but every time I’ve played there it is extremely windy. I’m starting to think it is always like that.

Emerald Green

The course was in great condition. The fairways were perfect with a great lie everywhere. Rough was cut low and not very penal. Greens were in great shape, rolled true but were not very fast. A number of very pretty and memorable holes on this course.

In great shape

Played early May and the course was in great shape tee to green. Finger's crossed the course will stay this way all summer long. What a treat! We did get behind a tournament of some kind and the pace of play went from very fast to a turtle. I'm guessing it was a men's member league as there was not a marshal in sight. Oh well, these things happen.

Course had much rain night before, so cart paths only. Greens & fairways were in great shape. Very nice setting and a well manicured course.

Quiet and Fun

Some of the best playing surfaces in San Antonio area. Greens are true, maybe a tad slow. Fairways are beautiful, no bad lies. Tee boxes could use some work to bring to tip top. Slowww group ahead of me and no Marshalls. Overall, I loved it. I'll play again for 50-60 bucks.
