Northern Hills Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience Northern Hills Golf Course?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in pristine condition, with the greens rolling true and the fairways lush, without the intense summer heat or early spring chill. Aim for a weekday morning to really enjoy the tranquility and avoid any weekend rush.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Northern Hills, and is there a signature hole we shouldn't miss?

The par-3 14th hole is definitely the course's signature, demanding a precise shot over water to a well-guarded green-it's a real card-wrecker if you're not careful. Overall, the course rewards accuracy over brute strength, especially on the back nine where the tree-lined fairways tighten up considerably.

How does the value stack up at Northern Hills, and what should we expect to pay for a round?

Northern Hills offers excellent value, especially considering the course's consistent conditioning and friendly staff. Expect to pay around $60-80 for 18 holes with a cart on a weekend, which is a steal for a course of this caliber in the region. Twilight rates can drop even lower, making it a budget-friendly option for a quality round.

What's the overall vibe at Northern Hills, and what unique features make it stand out from other courses?

You'll find a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere here, feeling more like a local's club than a stuffy resort course. The rolling terrain provides some genuinely stunning elevation changes, particularly on holes 7 and 11, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside that you won't forget.

How's the pace of play at Northern Hills, and when can we expect the course to be less crowded?

Generally, pace of play is quite good, especially if you get out early. We recommend booking a tee time before 9 AM on any day to ensure a smooth round, as the course can get a bit backed up around midday, particularly on Saturdays. Weekday afternoons are also a safe bet for a quicker game.
