Gold Hills Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time of year to play Gold Hills Golf Club for the best experience?

We always recommend visiting Gold Hills in late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in pristine condition, the weather is comfortably mild, and you avoid the peak summer crowds and heat that can make a round less enjoyable. Plus, the changing foliage in autumn adds a beautiful, unique backdrop to your game.

What's the biggest challenge at Gold Hills, and are there any must-play holes?

The real test at Gold Hills comes from its deceptive elevation changes and the subtly contoured greens-they're trickier than they look, so pay attention to your approach shots. Don't miss the par-3 7th, where you hit over a dramatic ravine, or the finishing par-5 18th, which offers a stunning panoramic view of the valley as you approach the clubhouse.

How does the value at Gold Hills Golf Club compare to other courses in the region?

Gold Hills offers excellent value, especially considering the course's immaculate upkeep and the quality of the layout. While it's not a budget option, you're getting a championship-level experience without the exorbitant prices you might find at some comparable courses nearby. It's a solid investment for a memorable round.

Beyond the golf, what unique features or views should I look out for at Gold Hills?

Keep an eye out for the natural rock outcroppings that frame several holes, particularly on the back nine-they're a signature feature and truly unique to this landscape. The views from the higher elevations, especially around holes 12 and 13, offer sweeping vistas of the distant mountains and local vineyards, which are absolutely stunning on a clear day.

What's the best way to unwind after a round at Gold Hills Golf Club?

After your round, head straight to The Summit Grill in the clubhouse. Their outdoor patio overlooks the 18th green and is the perfect spot for a cold drink and some excellent local fare. We highly recommend trying their signature burger-it's the ideal way to cap off a great day on the links.
