Vaaler Creek Golf Club

We moved to the area about 5 months ago and have been visiting course in the area to get a feel for what is out here, and I have to say that this course is going in the books as one of the good ones. The course layout is challanging and makes you have to think about where you are going to hit and what you are going to hit. You will not be able to take driver off all of the tees and be sucessful, and you will need to think about the next shot before you hit. The greens roll true and you have to look at the slope to make your putt, a few of the pin placements had me putting 30 or 40 degrees off the true line to make a putt, it was challanging but alot of fun.
We were at the course ontime and made our way to the pro shop to check-in, the gentleman that was helpful in getting us oriented to the layout and how to get to the first tee, over the bridge and down the residental street 300 yards to the well marked path between two houses that is the first green. We were 3 minutes past our tee time and the starter was sure to let us know that, he was a bit rude and abrasive in his posture and attitude when it came time to let us know that we were behind, I will own my part always, we were late and will take the hit of missing the first hole to catch our group that was already at the green, he didn't need to be nasty to make his point.
Once on the course we had a great time, the other twosome was awesome, friendly and members of the course so were able to recommend shots. I genuinely had a great time playing. On course there are clean restrooms, plenty of ice cold water and ball/club washing stations.
Pace of play was good, we were pushed slightly by the group behind us and only waited on the group ahead once we got to 16 and followed them in to 18.
I really have nothing bad to say about the course other than the starter being a bit abrasive, but again I was behind, so ultimately the fault is mine.

First time playing this course. Easy check in but a little confusing finding the 1st hole. 4pm tee time so about the time we got to the turn the grill was closed and food cart was no longer coming around. They provided tees and towels in the cart but towel was dirty. Beautiful course and really enjoyed each hole. Each hole definitely had its up and downs.

Enjoyed the challenge of narrow fairways and elevation changes. Grounds well maintained, and staff was attentive and checked on us several times along the way. Appreciated their kindness!! Last two holes over water were exhilarating!! Thank you!!

One of my favorite hill country courses. Some of the funnest green complexes but unfortunately they don’t keep the greens cut close enough for the beautiful undulations to really come into play. Your ball can literally come to rest on a slope. During the winter this course is special with it being completely over seeded from tee to green. With spring here, the poa annua grass has taken over large portions of the greens and I think this will lead to horrible green conditions when it dies off and leaves huge voids of grass. That’s what happened last summer and they were pretty much unplayable. Anyway, play it now while it’s green and decent!

Beautiful course , challenging,
Had a 1:30pm tee time on Saturday. After 9 holes which took 3 hrs. Our group rolls up to #10 and there are three groups waiting to start the back 9. The manger did give our group a free round which was extremely nice. I was very disappointed.

The work that the staff and greens keeper is really showing. The greens are perfect and true. Fairways are in tip top shape as well. The course is in such great condition for anytime of the year but to be this pristine in January shows all the hard work from everyone out there.
