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.

Course was in great shape, both fairways and greens

Played here recently (May 2023) with a group from a nearby MGA (about 60 players). Had a great time. Course condition is excellent. Weather was perfect. Very good value for the money. Only 1 thing could have been improved and that was the quality of food after our round. I ordered a hot dog which took some time to receive and when I got it, it wasn't cooked. It was cold. Terrible. The food is usually pretty good, so maybe they were having a bad day or had a hard time with 60 of us hitting them at once after our round. Either way, the hot dog was disappointing from this normally good golf course grill.

Great Course

This was my first time playing this course, I was really impressed with the friendliness of the staff!
The course is in great condition! The greens are pretty slow but I just hit the ball a little harder!
I look forward to playing Vaaler Creek again soon!

Target Golf

You should play this course at least twice. Once to learn where to hit the ball {lost four balls), and a second time to really enjoy the challenge. I'll be back!

Phenomenal Golf

Each time I have played Vaaler Creek, I’m in awe. The fairways are lush, greens roll true, pace of play is great! Will definitely be back this coming weekend and have to get my boys to make a trip to show them a real golf course.

Course Conditions

The course in and of itself was awesome!!! The tee boxes (like most courses it seems this spring) need a little love. The greens were much slower than normal but believe are in pretty good shape.
