Bavarian Hills

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bavarian Hills truly capture a German alpine feel, and what's the course like?

Yes, you'll definitely notice the nods to Bavaria in the clubhouse architecture and some of the landscaping, but the course itself is pure American parkland with some serious elevation changes. Expect a challenging round where strategic shot placement is key, especially on the back nine where the hills really come into play.

When is the best time of year to play Bavarian Hills for optimal conditions and scenery?

We highly recommend visiting in early fall, typically late September through October. The foliage is absolutely stunning, and the cooler temperatures make those uphill climbs much more enjoyable, plus the course is usually in peak condition after the summer rush.

What's the most memorable or challenging hole at Bavarian Hills, and what should I watch out for?

Hole 14, affectionately known as "The Summit," is a beast and easily the course's signature. It's a long par-4 that plays significantly uphill to a blind green, demanding a precise drive and a strong approach to avoid the deep bunkers guarding the front. Don't be afraid to take an extra club or two.

Is Bavarian Hills worth the green fee, and what kind of value can I expect?

Absolutely, we think it offers excellent value for a course of its caliber, especially considering the immaculate conditions and unique layout. You're paying for a memorable experience with stunning views and a genuinely fun, yet demanding, round of golf that feels like a true escape.

Given the "Hills" in the name, how walkable is Bavarian Hills, and do you recommend a cart?

While you *can* walk it, we strongly advise taking a cart unless you're an avid hiker with a caddy. The elevation changes are significant, particularly on the back nine, and you'll want to save your energy for your swing, not the trek between holes. Trust us, your legs will thank you.
