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.

It could have been better.

I am a Viet Nam Disabled Vet. I was told that the cart that I used had some sort of technical advancement that a Disabled Flag was not necessary and that I could get close to the green but not too close. The alarm went off immediately when approached any green and I wasn't able to get closer to the greens than were other players without this cart enhancement. It made my day more painful than I wanted. OH well, I guess it could have been worse. I think there could have been more cold-water dispensers given the heat was hovering around 95 to 100 degrees. The course is well maintained but challenging. I won't come back unless my skills improve and management makes better offerings for disabled players.

Golfing is always a good day!

We love this course. It is challenging but not impossible. Fairways conditions and course in general is nearly always great. This week the greens looked a little burnt or something, not sure what was up but also not usual for Vaaler.

We will be back soon!

Fun, challenging, and great conditions

Played here about a year ago and it was in awesome shape. The course is somehow in better shape right now.

Perfect conditions and a true challenge. Lots of courses never give you the chance to hit certain clubs in your bag. This is not the case at Vaaler Creek.

Highly recommend this course if you can find a tee time.

Vaalar Creek: Very Solid - well conditioned

Vaalar Creek is very solid and greens are interesting and in fantastic shape. A handful of very good holes and some very basic ones. Greens make the course…very solid value and made for an enjoyable day at the links.

Great Course! No Cart Girl

Excellent course! However the only negative was there wasn’t a cart girl. It was a lost opportunity for the course to generate some revenue in my opinion . Definitely will be back , course was in awesome shape and well taken care of!
