Hill Country Golf Club - Lakes/Creeks
About
Spread across 200 scenic acres of rolling meadows and steep hillsides, Hill Country Golf Club offers 27 scenic holes of championship golf. Designed by renowned architectural firm Arthur Hills & Associates, Golf Digest considers it one of Texas’ best places to play. Each course covers a beautiful landscape of native oak, wildflowers, and cactus. The Lakes Nine is obviously characterized by the clear blue lakes that come into play throughout the course. There are also wooded ravines and strategically placed bunkers throughout the course for even more challenges. The Creeks Nine, named after the creeks that meander through the layout, this course demands accuracy with water coming into play on several holes and numerous strategically placed bunkers. In addition to the three nines, Hill Country Golf Club also offers a putting green and driving range.

Creek Course #9 Photo submitted by GreerGolf on 06/06/2017
Great course
Very nice course in great shape for this time of year, especially given the lack of rainfall in the San Antonio area. A very good mix of long and short holes, requiring both left, right and straight drive shapes. The greens were in great shape as well. Whether you’re playing from the tips or the red tees the course is very enjoyable and the staff was very accommodating and helpful.
Nice layout
Course in great shape. The punched greens last week. But was fine when I played. Staff not the friendliest. But not rude. Guy at counter didn't say much. Noticed I paid online. Just handed my ticket and nothing else.
Best bargain round I can recall purchasing off of this app
Played there on July 6, 2023 on a Golf Now Hot Deal. Course was in amazing shape. Greens were freshly aeriated and sanded so putts were effected but the course itself was well setup. The staff in the pro shop were friendly and thoughtful and as a San Antonian, they represent us to visitors quite well. The starter and the outdoor workers were helpful and pleasant. I do miss the pyramid stacks of range balls but otherwise it was a great outing. My score doesn't reflect it, but it was a good and quick round.
Fun course
Greens were fast but they were running true. Stay away from the trees. Fun layout with 3 different 9s.
Play elsewhere for the price
There are too many good options in San Antonio to play here. It’s in really bad shape right now. Mud and dead grass. Greens are ok, but slow. Tee boxes see a ton of play an led it shows. Fairways are ok. Nobody seems to fix pitch marks on the greens. I must have fixed 5 on every green. Pace of play was almost too fast. We felt slightly rushed by a two-some that was pushing us. We never saw a marshal in the course (probably why nobody is taking care of the course). Carts were filthy. I bet they haven’t been detailed in a year. Our cart actually had a missing panel on the dash where the USB connectors were. Cart next to us had a hole in the body in front. Range balls were ancient.
Great course and pace of play was just right. Only draw back was $15.16 for two beers. The server said they were imports, shiner and Yuengling which added humor to a good day.
Great Greens and Fairways
The course is in magnificent condition and it was a pleasure to putt on the greens! Kudos to the Groundskeepers and Course crew!
Immaculate even in 105F heat
It’s been a few years since we played here and I forgot how nice the course and facilities are! Very well maintained, especially considering the current heat wave we’re in!
Very high price for the experience
$186.19 for a round and had to play same 9 twice due to tournament that morning. Starter allowed two children out in front of our group resulting in 2 hour 45 minute front 9. Was very crowded due to tournament and scorching temps.
One of the best courses in town
Amazing golf course made up of 3 different 9 hole courses. That helps a lot with pace of play. The course can be pricey at times, but definitely worth it if you can find some deal or discount. The only thing I wish they would change is to let you play all 27 holes!
Stuck behind Texas Golf Association 6 hour round
The golf course was fine. In pretty good shape. Still showing signs of winter freeze damage. Maintenance somewhat lacking in attention to detail, as Oaks course has become overgrown (when hill country oaks get water, they grow!) Pete Dye said "you can have a golf course or you can have a forest, but you can't really have both." The Oaks could be beautiful with some clearing of undergrowth and trimming of overgrown canopy that is blocking sun light.
Lakes course is easier to navigate. The newer holes (on lakes and creek 9s) play like newer greens: firmer and slower.
My real complaint is with the TGA, which was hosting a match play league tournament the day we played. We were first group off after tournament, and started with 2 holes open in front of us. On a two hour 9 hole pace, we caught the tournament by #5! There were 3 groups on the #9 tee!
It was a 2 hour and 45 minute 9 holes. I never saw a TGA official (!) and only saw 1 course Marshall, who said "these guys think they're good, but they're not!" He said he couldn't do anything about the TGA tournament pace of play. I've played inn TGA events for 40 years and TGA should be embarrassed.
Back to Hill Country GC, we played Lakes 9 on our second nine with no one in front of us, in 1 hour 40 minutes, so no complaint there. Just wish we had known about TGA Event when we booked!
You should probably ask about what other events (or course maintenance) are booked at HCGC when you book.
Birthday beating
This day was my brother’s annual birthday golf beating. The course was in great shape and all course personnel were courteous and helpful. We usually play this course a couple times a year and is always a treat. I would highly recommend this course.
Great facility, this was my first time playing this course and I really enjoyed it. The greens were fast and rolled very smoothly. The layout of the course was great with many scenic holes and a few deer as welll. I would love to play here again if I’m in the San Antonio area.
