Hiwan Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Hiwan Golf Course for optimal conditions?

We recommend aiming for late spring through early fall. You'll find the course in prime condition, and the mountain air is crisp and invigorating, though afternoon thunderstorms are a real possibility in July and August, so plan your tee time accordingly.

What's the most challenging aspect of playing Hiwan Golf Course?

The elevation changes are no joke here; you'll encounter some truly dramatic uphill and downhill lies that demand precise club selection and a keen eye. Don't forget the thin air affects ball flight, so you might find your drives carrying a bit further than expected.

Is Hiwan Golf Course open to the public, and what should I expect for green fees?

Hiwan is a private club, so you'll need to be a guest of a member or explore reciprocal play options if you're part of another private club. If you do get on, expect a premium experience, and green fees will reflect that exclusivity - it's worth it for the pristine conditions and challenging layout.

What's a must-see hole or unique feature at Hiwan Golf Course?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 13th; it's a stunning downhill shot with incredible mountain vistas that can be distracting if you're not focused. The approach to the 18th green, with the clubhouse looming, is also a memorable finish that tests your nerve.

How is the pace of play at Hiwan, and what other amenities should I know about?

We've always found the pace of play to be excellent, thanks to a well-managed tee sheet and respectful members - you won't feel rushed, but you won't be waiting around either. After your round, the clubhouse offers fantastic dining with views that are just as impressive as the course itself, perfect for recounting your birdies (or bogeys).
