Vaaler Creek Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

great course!
Very spread out, would be hard to walk. Have to use street to travel to hole 1. Could use better signage. Driving range not close.
Great experience though! Helped that I played with someone familiar with course.
Plan to return soon!
Course is in great shape
It's been hot and pretty dry in Austin, but the course was in great shape. Tee boxes for par 3's in particular were a bit beaten up but the fairways and greens were in really good condition. Starter was helpful with pulling together a couple of singles and a two-some to help prevent some backups on the course.
I played on a hot deal, so the bang for the buck was great! Just wish I saw the drink cart on the course more than once.
Great time.
Course was in great shape my golf game not so much. Can’t wait to go back and try to redeem myself. Great staff and great service cold beers and fireball.
This course is always amazing!
If you haven't played here youre missing out this course is absolutely amazing!
Love Vaaler
Greens were recently aerated but all else in great shape. Greens will be there shortly.
Best course all around
I’ve tee’d off here a lot previously. Every aspect of the course is phenomenal. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes are always green and well kept. The golf carts are in great condition. The staff is nice and friendly. Layout is challenging. Great pace of play. The price is very affordable. Hidden gem of the hill country.
A fabulous golf course
Very creative layout, and challenging but fair. Conditions are excellent except for the unkempt tee boxes and the course seems overly exposed to wind. Greens and fairways are wonderful with the greens running true and consistent.
Vaaler creek
It rained the day before but the fairways were dry with no standing water. The greens were also recently aerated and had sand on them making them extremely slow. I wish courses would let you know when they're aerating the greens. I've played here several times before and the greens were much faster.
Nice course
We were on cart path only and the greens were recently punched and sanded. Pace of play was good considering conditions. Fun course.
