Vaaler Creek Golf Club was named as #19 in the country on Golfweek's "Best New Courses" list in 2011. The course was designed by Michael Lowry, and features well-placed bunkers and beautiful water-features to provide a challenging yet relaxing round of golf. As the surrounding community grows, Vaaler Creek is destined to be one of the Texas Hill Country's finest golf experiences.

The golf course was named in memorial to Jack Vaaler. Jack was very good friends and a fellow soldier with Colonel Roper, who owns the development and the golf course. Jack was involved with golf as far back as the 1940's when he started out as a caddy at LaCrosse Country Club.  During his life-long involvement with golf Jack was an active member in the San Antonio Golf Association, was a volunteer at several PGA tournaments, and was a president of Woodlake Country Club. Jack also became a close friend with Chi Chi Rodriguez. Jack Vaaler loved the game of golf and adhered to its highest standards. Jack passed away during the initial construction phase of the golf course.

Vaaler Creek is located inside the Rockin' J Ranch development. The course opened the back nine in July 2007, and the front nine was opened on July 4, 2009. The course features spectacular panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country, an abundance of live oaks, and rolling topography. Our greens are composed of MiniVerde grass and the rest of the course is Bermuda 419 and Tif Sport grasses.

When playing our facility, you can use your Smartphone as a GPS device with one of the following Free GPS Apps. These apps feature exact yardages to the front, center & back of our greens, and are good for almost any course in the United States.

Simply click one of the logos below to be directed to the manufacturer's website to download the proper version for your smartphone (iPhone or Android). Once you find and select our course, it will be added to your 'favorite courses' for future use anytime you start the App. The Free versions are more than enough for most, but each company also offers a 'Pro' version of the App for a small, one-time fee. These versions will provide additional features & functionality such as scorecards, maps, hole flyovers & stat tracking. Be sure to read the descriptions on each manufacturer's website, and it's completely OK to try both!

Note: Using "Apps" like these allows easy access without the need of your phone's browser. More importantly, it's also less draining on your smartphone's battery life, and uses less "mobile data" from your carrier. Below are the links to each website, and a few screenshots:

Golf Lessons with Edwin Dickens, PGA--Head Golf Professional

From Navy days to now, Edwin's profession has been golf. Head professional, assistant professional, director of instruction...they are all positions in which he has served during a 20+ year professional career. Upon being Honorably Discharged from the US Navy, Edwin stayed on the west coast to play collegiate golf at Mesa College and UC Irvine. But after spending almost 10 yrs on the west coast playing and teaching, Edwin decided it was time to return to his Texas roots. In 2001 he was elected to membership in the PGA of America. As a player he has won multiple STPGA Events and was the 2015 STPGA SR Player of the Year. As an instructor, he maintains his PGA credentials with continuing education, specifically targeting instruction, mentoring, and growing the game. Prior to joining the Vaaler Creek staff, Edwin spent the last 5 years as Director of Instruction at LBJ Golf Course in Fredericksburg. As both an accomplished player and instructor, his desire is to share what the years of golf have taught him. His philosophy is that instruction should be tailored to the individual needs of each student—and he puts this into practice with each student.

Edwin is available for private and group lessons.
