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.

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.

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.

Best Course played this spring

We are in San Antonio TX for the month of April and have been playing courses. This course is in the best shape and has some beautiful holes in all the courses we have played. Will come back again! Narrow Fairways but great layout.

What's going on

I have been on a golf trip for 1 month now. My wife can not play golf because of a major knee problem. Usually she can follow me on the course most of the time, for free. Some lands ask me to pay half the price for the cart which is normal. At Vaaler Creek I had to pay $ 25 so she could follow me to the field. We were 3 golfers with 2 carts only. The group that preceded us had a single golf bag for 4 golfers. It seemed to me that he drank a lot of beer and played a little golf. Is this the new way to make a golf course profitable?

The course is great. Layout is excellent and challenging. My only ding is that the greens seemed slow but it is winter conditions.

I enjoyed the course and will come back to play again. I recommend it!
