Hiland Park Country Club
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Hiland Park Country Club for ideal conditions?
You'll find Hiland Park truly shines from late May through early October. The fairways are lush, greens roll true, and the Adirondack backdrop is simply stunning, especially as the leaves begin to turn in the fall. We recommend booking a morning tee time to avoid any afternoon pop-up showers and enjoy the crisp air.
How challenging is Hiland Park Country Club for an average golfer?
Hiland Park offers a fair test without being overly punishing, making it enjoyable for most handicaps. The real challenge comes from the subtle undulations on the greens and a few strategically placed bunkers that demand precision. Don't let the relatively open fairways fool you-approach shots require thought.
What's a must-play hole or unique feature at Hiland Park Country Club?
The par-3 14th hole is definitely a standout; it plays downhill to a green guarded by a creek, offering incredible views of the surrounding hills. It's a classic risk-reward shot that you'll remember long after your round. Also, keep an eye out for the historic stone walls bordering several fairways-they add a unique character you don't often see.
Can non-members play at Hiland Park Country Club, and what should I expect for green fees?
Yes, Hiland Park is semi-private, so public play is welcome, especially on weekdays and during off-peak hours. Green fees typically range from $70-100, depending on the season and time of day, which we think is excellent value for the course quality. Always call ahead for current rates and to secure your tee time.
What's the typical pace of play like, and are there good amenities for a post-round experience?
You can generally expect a good pace of play, especially if you tee off earlier in the day; rounds usually finish in about four hours. After your game, the clubhouse offers a welcoming atmosphere with a solid grill room and a patio overlooking the 18th green-perfect for a cold drink and recounting your best shots. It's a comfortable spot to relax and soak it all in.
