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.

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 experience all around

Even with a little bit of drizzle throughout the round that had no effect on how great the conditions of this course were. Greens best, fairways, and tee box’s I’ve played in a while near SA. Highly recommend even though it’s cart path only still an amazing experience.
