Hillside Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Hillside Golf Course for optimal conditions and fewer crowds?

We've found that late spring, specifically May, or early fall in September, offers the perfect balance at Hillside. You'll experience lush fairways and greens without the peak summer heat or the larger crowds that flock here during school holidays. The course truly shines when the weather is crisp, making those elevated tee shots even more enjoyable.

What makes Hillside Golf Course particularly challenging or unique compared to other courses in the region?

Hillside lives up to its name with significant elevation changes on nearly every hole, demanding precise club selection and a keen eye for uneven lies. The course design cleverly uses the natural contours, so you'll encounter blind shots and dramatic downhill approaches that truly test your course management. It's a thinking golfer's paradise, not just a grip-it-and-rip-it track.

Is playing Hillside Golf Course a good value, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Absolutely, we consider Hillside an excellent value for the quality of golf and the unique experience it offers. Green fees typically range from $75-$120, depending on the day and time you play, which is very competitive for a course of this caliber in the region. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course with memorable views, not just another round.

Which holes at Hillside Golf Course offer the most memorable views or unique playing experiences?

You absolutely can't miss the views from the 6th and 14th holes. The par-3 6th plays significantly downhill to a well-guarded green, offering a panoramic vista of the valley below that will make you pause before you swing. Then, the par-5 14th, with its sweeping dogleg and elevated approach, provides another stunning backdrop and a real strategic challenge.

How busy does Hillside Golf Course get, and what's your advice for securing a good tee time?

Hillside can get quite busy, especially on weekends and during those prime shoulder seasons we mentioned. We strongly recommend booking your tee time at least two weeks in advance, particularly if you're aiming for a morning slot. Don't be afraid to call directly; sometimes they have unadvertised openings, and the staff is always helpful.
