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"

The course was in amazing condition. Best greens I have seen in while. I played as a single and it was very enjoyable until the 14th hole where a twosome would not allow me to play through. I was waiting 20 minutes on each tee box. They were hitting 3 balls each off the tee and was taking around 10 shots each to get to the green. They just didn't get it! Overall the course was excellent!

Can't wait to play it again

Fairways and greens were in great shape. Some of the par 3 tees could use a break in play or reseeding. The GPS units in the carts were accurate. We did have propulsion problems with our cart, but a call to the pro shop had us with a new cart in 15 minutes. Pace of play was 4 hrs and 30 minutes following a five some.

Great day for golf, 60 degrees and sunny. Course in great condition and pace of play was good. Course bathrooms under construction, but no big deal. Could use cups at water stations, overall great day of golf.

Great Experience

You may wonder if you are ever going to get to the course in this development; once there, this is one of the best kept courses for the round value. The touch screen GPS is very beneficial for distances to the natural hazards and course layout. The reports I had heard about Vaaler Creek were merited, the greens were true to the roll and a challenge. Definitely a must play and I will travel back!

Great course conditions

Pros: great condition, greens are really smooth; great value; one of the more challenging courses in Central Texas.

Cons: pace of play is really slow, probably related to the difficulty of this course with a high slope and rating; GPS did not work on my cart.

Well maintained

We were the first two-some off in the morning so we got around quickly. The bunkers were somewhat washed out in some areas due to recent rains. But overall, the course is beautiful and well- maintained.

What's not to like?

If you have a bad round, look no further than your so-called swing. This course puts the onus squarely on your shoulders. Great up and down allows the golfer to get it close or not based upon your skill level. Settle back and enjoy the ride. The use of water and challenging greens keeps you sober for the entire trip. Enjoy and kudos to the staff. Again, what's not to like?

Overseed coming in

Course in good shape as always. They over seeded fairways and the transition to the will be complete within a few weeks. Greens were slow, not sure if they over seeded them. Course is good, for long hitters, it's a short course but you have to be accurate as there are plenty of places to lose your ball.

Caught at a bad time.

Greens had just been sanded and fairways seeded and watered to the point that course was sloppy in places and carts could not go off of cart path.

Great course, greens challenging

Got paired up with some great folks. Course was in great condition and the greens were terrific but challenging. If you live in San Antonio, this course is worth the drive. Golf carts had great GPS but at times yardage was off by 20 yards or more. I am definitely returning.
