Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play The Hills for ideal conditions?
We highly recommend visiting in the spring or fall for the best experience. The summer can get quite hot, and while the course is still beautiful, you'll appreciate the cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage during shoulder seasons. Late April or early October offers the perfect balance of weather and course conditions, making your round much more enjoyable.
How challenging is The Hills, and what should I prepare for?
Don't let the scenic views fool you; The Hills is a proper test, especially from the back tees. You'll face significant elevation changes and require precise shot-making to navigate the tight fairways and well-protected greens. Bring your A-game and be ready for some uphill battles and tricky lies.
What are the must-see holes or unique features at The Hills?
The par-3 14th is truly unforgettable, playing dramatically downhill to a green guarded by a natural rock outcropping-it's a postcard moment you won't want to miss. Also, keep an eye out for the dramatic tee shot on the 10th, where the entire valley opens up before you. These holes really capture the course's unique character and beauty.
Is playing The Hills worth the green fee, and what can I expect to pay?
While The Hills isn't a budget option, we absolutely believe it delivers excellent value for the experience. Expect green fees to be in the $150-$250 range, depending on the season and time of day. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course with stunning views and a truly memorable layout.
What's the typical pace of play at The Hills, and do I need a caddie?
Pace of play is generally good, with marshals keeping things moving, so expect a round to take around 4.5 hours. While not mandatory, we highly recommend taking a caddie; their local knowledge on the tricky greens and navigating the significant elevation changes is invaluable and will significantly enhance your round.
