Hillside Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to experience Hillside Golf Club at its finest?

You'll find Hillside truly shines in the late spring or early fall. The temperatures are perfect for walking the hilly terrain, and the course is either vibrant green or ablaze with autumn colors, offering stunning views from the elevated tees. Avoid mid-summer if you're not a fan of humidity, as the climbs can feel even tougher then.

How challenging are the elevation changes at Hillside, and what should I know before my round?

The "Hillside" name isn't just for show-you'll encounter significant elevation changes on nearly every hole, which is part of its charm and challenge. We strongly recommend taking a cart unless you're an avid walker, and be prepared for plenty of uphill approaches and downhill putts that break more than you'd expect. Club selection is key here, so trust your rangefinder.

Is Hillside Golf Club a good value for the green fee, and what can I expect regarding costs?

We think Hillside offers solid value, especially considering the unique layout and conditioning you'll experience. Green fees typically range from $80-120 with a cart, depending on the day and time, placing it squarely in the mid-tier for quality courses in the region. You're paying for a memorable round with truly distinct holes, not just another flat track.

What's the signature hole or a "must-play" stretch at Hillside Golf Club?

You absolutely have to look forward to the stretch from holes 12 through 15-it's where Hillside truly shows off. The par-3 13th, playing dramatically downhill to a well-guarded green, is a stunner and demands precision. Then you climb to the 14th tee, offering panoramic views that will make you pause before hitting your drive.

What's the post-round experience like at Hillside, and are there good amenities?

After navigating those hills, you'll appreciate the relaxed atmosphere in the clubhouse. The grill room serves up classic pub fare and cold drinks, perfect for recounting your round on the outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green. The pro shop is well-stocked with local gear, but don't expect a resort-level spa-it's a golfer's clubhouse, pure and simple.
