Reviews of Vaaler Creek Golf Club (Golf)

Shayne H

Never can get a hold of anyone. Tee times are through a 3rd party and never have times available before the afternoon. Try calling pro shop and won’t connect.

Bill Noble

Great round of golf!!

Harry Melton

Course maintenance lacking - score card vs cart gps varies from 10 to 30 yards on most holes -

Tom Beer

Fantastic course, the teeth of this course is the greens, fast and lots of undulations, fun trip around with tons of diversity in the routing of the holes

H SMITH

Absolutely beautiful golf course

Robert Shields

Course was in beautiful shape and greens rolling true. The club pro Andrew was super accommodating and truly a professional. We were taken care of and really appreciate the professionalism of all their staff. Well worth the hour + drive from Austin one of my favorite courses in central Texas.

Tim Moore

I live over an hour away and come here 2-3 times a month. This course is awesome. Reasonable prices, fantastic greens, beautiful hill country....

Tom Brimer

Excellent golf course. The greens are amazing. One of the best courses in Texas.

Marion GA

Good place to golf

Robert Smith

Great golf course, even with punched greens, staff was exceptional... You gotta play it..

Gabriel L.

Played a tournament here and the course was in excellent shape

Jack Patterson

Course was very nice and most of the staff was very helpful. Front desk staff and starters were awesome. However, Gaston Gamboa (apparently a "professional") was very unpleasant to deal with. He was not very friendly or helpful but other than that we would definitely come back. Other than him you've got a perfect hidden gem.

Frank Wissler

Head groundskeeper seemed like a shady character.

Jeremy Griffin

Nice course. I feel well maintained. Went today and had a great time.

Ron Oliver

Excellent. Great fairways.MI

Jerry Morales

Great golf course. Nice and green fairways. Friendly staff. They have a driving range and a green putt practice area so you can get some practice in before starting.

Robert Walsh

Best golf course in the region. Difficult but fair. Not to long. Very few flat puts here. Great shape and greens roll true. Just a little pricy for us seniors.

Jack Seib

Excellent condition. Nice tract. Challenging but golf able for an old hacker like me.

Ken Risner

What a beautiful golf course. It had rained so had to play cart path only but so glad we had the opportunity to play. The course is fair as you can match your skill level with the appropriate tee box. Did not have a bad lie in the fairways and greens were great for this early in the season. A great balance of scoring challenges and opportunities. Good staff, facilities, and carts. I can't wait to go back.

Mark Davis

Enjoyed the course. Even with the sanded greens it was challenging. Will play it again.

Steven Sawyer

Awesome day at this course! Challenging greens with plenty of amazing scenery. Staff was great and course was well managed!

I played the course for the first time on August 9, 2017. I'm an avid golfer, about a six-eight handicapper, play a lot of courses around the nation, am a full time RVer. The gentleman at the pro shop was very nice, professional. The course's greens had been recently sanded, but that's a necessity that golfers understand, so there's no criticism there. The course seemed to me, to be typical of many modern golf course designs. That is to say, it's a very difficult course for the average or even better than average golfer, let alone a high handicapper. It's tight for the most part, with forest or other trouble, like people's homes, right off the fairways (number one hole). The back side opened up some on a few of the middle holes. The greens, in my opinion, many of them were simply ridiculous, with the extreme contours, number two stands out, some of the three pars also. Little thought, in my opinion, was given to the outcome of its design, that is to say one feels like they are playing miniature golf on some of the greens. It's like the mentality is design a golf course that would challenge a scratch or pro golfer, never considering that 98 or 99 percent of the people who will ever play your course, are not scratch or pro golfers. The biggest drawback is the rounds are slow because golfers spend so much time looking for balls in the trees, or crevices, people's backyards, or other difficult spots. The driving area on number 10 is another example of a ridiculous design. Only an extremely straight drive ends up in the fairway, and there's little room on the second shot also. The condition of the course was better than average, although there were a few sand traps or ponds (?) that were desolate, without sand or water, that gave a terrible look to the course, which would be interesting to find out why. If one drives near the greens, the golf cart shuts down and one has to go in reverse to get out of the situation. Never seen that before, and the man in the pro shop probably should have warned about this. Other negatives about the design. Homes close to the fairways, leading to OB stakes, adding to the course's difficulty. Also, long rides between some of the holes, the course probably cannot be walked, another negative in modern golf course design. Overall, and again this is my opinion, I would not be inclined to return and play this course, due mostly, to it's poor design.

Vaaler Creek is a challenging but fun course to play. Some risk/reward holes. Several tight fairways, gotta hit it straight. Greens were running smooth and true. Large snack bar area. Driving range and chipping/putting areas are good. They just need a bigger pro shop. Go play it, you won't be disappointed.

Jeffery Webb

GREAT course easily best in San Antonio TX area.

Paul Caballero

Great layout and friendly staff.

Connie Black

A hidden gem of a golf course in Texas. It is worth the drive from anywhere in Texas to play Vaaler Creek. Great greens, usually fast. Your round ends with a gut-check on the last two holes - be playing your best when you get to #17 and #18, both are great tests of your golf game. I wish I could get there more often.

Wade Bowman

A very nice course in great shape.

Kent Sutton

Great golf in the Hill Country

Bill Tripp

Course is in amazing condition, and my thanks to who built the stone foot bridge on 4 for the walkers.

steve steve

Great place

Mike Holt

Love this course! Well worth the drive.

christopher Ciolfi

This course is one of the best kept courses year round that I have seen. The staff is nice, the new gps golf carts are awesome. I know all this because I live in the community and see how hard everyone works. Prices are reasonable as well.

Der Golfclub hat sehr interessante und begeisterte, einheimische Mitglieder. Als Deutscher wurden wir sehr willkommen und hatten eine Menge Spass. Die Löcher haben nicht den allergrößten Anspruch an Profigolfer, bieten aber dennoch ein interessantes Erlebnis. Kann man durchaus empfehlen.

Cindy Mundy

Great spot! New homes in Blanco TX!

Bob Hazlett

Well maintained and challenging course. Greens were in some of the best shape I’ve ever seen. Clubhouse is small and lacks a huge selection, but enough for the essentials. We were never rushed or pushed and the staff was friendly throughout. I will mention a few of the greens on the front 9 are nearly impossible unless you can place the ball in. 5x5 area.

Ben Sherrod

Great condition

Rick Tatum

Great monthly 4 man scrambles

Juan Uballe

Sand trap at putting green is being back filled and sodded and fair way trap is in the process of being rebuilt... Other than the course looks to be in great shape and the greens are looking fantastic. L

Helio Hermosillo

Every time I visit the course looks better. Today it was very nice.

Justin Beck

Always in excellent condition. Two negatives: the tee boxes from the tips need to be redone and flatter and the members on this course jump in front and will get in groups of 5+. If you see this course wide open on GolfNow, there is a chance it will be packed with members. I come out here to play a quick 3 hour round, and the last time I was here I was on pace for a 5 hour round.

Jonathan Douglas

Worth the Drive! My golfing buddy and I made the trip from Cedar Park down to Blanco to check out this hidden gem! Greens in good shape, great layout, and lots of fun!

Gilbert Zarate

Wonderful hill country golf course!! I loved it! The fairways were like carpet and the greens were perfect!

Chris Snow

Great golf!

Brandi Jo Newman

Smooth greens, gentle fairways, no one around.

Ed Kane

Although the greens were slow, they are growing in nicely for winter play.

Kev south

Nice and course is in a higher end residential neighbor hood that is developing right now.

Vernon Elkins

Good luck on black hole par 3s. Lol! Very nice course.

Brian Nally

Worth the drive from Austin

Jeremy Barrett

Great layout nicely maintained greens and fairways that role true and fast

brbtps5

Course is always in great shape some easy holes and some that will make you rack up your score if a shot is a little off line.

Mary Thoen

Fun course. Excellent condition. Beautiful area.

Gabriel Padilla

Great course n staff, very nice fair ways n greens are smooth

Treniss Evans

No walking, it is extremely long between a number of holes.

Brian Ingles

Greens were in excellent shspe for this time of year. Tee boxes, not so much. Great staff.

greg collins

I loved the golf course. It was in great shape. The greens were challenging to read, it will take a few rounds to get them down, this was my first time there. I shot 78 with 33 putts, I'm normally around 27 or 28 in a round.

Frank Martinez

Second time playing and it never disappoints. Great course layout. Greens in fantastic shape but not fast. Fairways are in unbelievably shape. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great course in the surrounding area. Worth the drive from San Antonio

Bill Ziemek

Well configured and well maintained. Fair challenges for all levels of nonprofessional golfers. A little pricey for time of day and mid-August heat.

Carlos Amaya

Great course, very nice shape.. haven't been disappointed yet.. Been coming here for the past 4 years

Tracy Hines

I would rate the course itself a 4+, but thanks to Mark, the pro shop employee, I can't rate it any higher than a 2. To say that he was extremely rude would be an understatement (and I would use more colorful language to describe how he treated us, but I have since calmed down). When I explained how he treated us to other staff members, more than one made the excuse of "that's his personality" and were not surprised that we had been treated poorly. I was so upset that my wife and I nearly left, but decided not to let one person steal our joy. The course itself was in great shape and we enjoyed our round, but even after we left, I can' forgive the poor customer service. We will likely not go back.

Dan Eggleston

Hill Country Gem! No dead spots on fairways, keep it in play and be rewarded with 1" thick fairway grass, Greens were like outdoor carpet...

Joel Hernandez

Course in great shape. Great layout. If you're a golfer, a must play course in the Hill Country.

Laura

Beautiful course. Wonderful staff.
