Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Hillside Golf Course?

We recommend visiting Hillside in the late spring or early fall. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and humidity, and the course conditions are typically pristine with vibrant foliage. The cooler temperatures make those uphill climbs much more enjoyable.

How challenging is Hillside Golf Course for an average player?

Hillside lives up to its name; expect significant elevation changes and some tricky lies. It's a true test of your shot-making, especially with those downhill approaches and uphill par-3s. Don't let the stunning views distract you too much from the task at hand.

What's the standout hole or unique feature at Hillside that I shouldn't miss?

The par-5 14th hole is truly memorable, offering a dramatic downhill tee shot with panoramic views that stretch for miles. It's a risk-reward hole where a well-placed drive can set up an eagle opportunity, but errant shots are severely punished by the natural contours. Take a moment to soak in that vista before you swing.

What should I expect regarding green fees and overall value at Hillside?

Green fees at Hillside are on the higher side, reflecting the course's excellent conditioning and unique layout. However, we feel the experience justifies the cost, especially if you appreciate a challenging round with stunning scenery. Consider booking a twilight tee time for a slightly reduced rate and a beautiful sunset finish.

Are there good dining options or a pro shop worth checking out after a round at Hillside?

Absolutely. The clubhouse restaurant, "The Summit Grill," offers fantastic views from its patio and serves up hearty post-round fare - their local craft beer selection is excellent. The pro shop is well-stocked with Hillside-branded apparel and high-quality gear, making it a great spot for a souvenir.
