Hillsview Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging are the elevation changes at Hillsview, and what practical advice do you have for navigating them?

Hillsview truly lives up to its name; you'll encounter significant uphill and downhill lies, especially on the back nine. We found the par-3 14th, playing dramatically downhill to a tucked green, demands precise club selection. Account for at least a club-and-a-half difference on those steep shots.

When is the best time of year to play Hillsview Golf Club for ideal conditions and value?

For the best balance of weather and fewer crowds, we recommend late April through early June. The course is lush, and the summer rush hasn't fully hit, meaning you'll often find better tee time availability and slightly more favorable green fees than in peak July.

What's the signature hole at Hillsview Golf Club that every golfer should look forward to?

Without a doubt, the par-5 7th hole is Hillsview's masterpiece. It's a sweeping dogleg left with a risk-reward second shot over a ravine to a plateaued green, offering incredible panoramic views of the valley below. We suggest playing it as a true three-shot hole to avoid trouble.

What's the typical pace of play like at Hillsview, and should I consider a cart or walking?

Due to the elevation changes, most players opt for a cart, which helps maintain a reasonable pace, usually around four hours for a foursome. If you're keen to walk, be prepared for a serious workout, especially on the front nine's steeper climbs-it's doable but will add time.

What's the best way to cap off a round at Hillsview, and what local flavors should I try?

Head straight to the "Summit Grill" in the clubhouse; their outdoor patio offers the same stunning views you enjoyed on the course. We always grab a local craft beer-they have a great rotating selection-and their famous "Hillsview Burger" to celebrate a good round.
