Towne Lake Hills Golf Club
About
Carved from acres of wooded countryside in Woodstock, Towne Lake Hills Golf Club takes advantage of the rolling green hills. The dramatic elevation changes make it difficult to find an even lie anywhere on the course. Arthur Hills, the course's designer, incorporated a variety of challenges that makes each hole unique including a deft smattering of sand bunkers. The golf course depends as heavily on course management and strategy as it does on shot-making skills. It is a challenge to say the least, but it's fair. There are also four sets of tees that make it more approachable. One of the most memorable holes is the fifth. This par 5 presents an interesting risk-reward opportunity that will make you think. Towne Lake Hills G.C. boasts consistently good course conditions and idyllic scenery that make the round even more enjoyable.

The best shot of my life. My first shot on hole 11. 308 yard par 4. Photo submitted by u000007718501 on 11/12/2013
Horrible course setup, chaos at checkin
Chaos at checkin. Proshop barely said help when checking in. No carts available, had to wait for one to be brought up. Bag drop and cart area was messy. Starters doing the best they can. Course setup was awful. Pin positions were goofy golf at peak of a ridge or in 2 cases in the middle of a slope. Greens inconsistent speed but mostly sloooow. So many unrepaired ball marks. Pace of play slow but tolerable. But we had a 2-some jump us without asking even though we were waiting on group in front. This happened twice. Not a place I recommend based on this culture and experience. They're happy to take your greens fees, but that's about it.
Good Greens
Hard pan areas need to be repaired along with the cart paths
Otherwise course was great
The Tavern Cheeseburger was very good
Big Turkey Gobbler crossed our path on 16
Definitely Worth Playing Again!
It's been a while since I played this course. If you haven't visited in a while, it's worth checking out again! Pace of play and overall condition quality has improved significantly. In particular, improvements in the speed of the greens and better weed control in the chipping areas. There are a couple of holes that require course experience to keep your drives in the fairway. Also, there are a couple of holes that need taller pin flags to see them from a low spot in the fairway.
5+ hour round on Sunday afternoon
Tough day yesterday! We paid $93 per person to watch the group in front of us tee off on every hole. Conditions were not as good as I expected. A lot of hard dry clay just off the fairway that kicks the ball into the wood.,
Horrible Experience all around bad operation. Will not be going back here
Still my favorite
Every staff member I’ve encountered at this course has been very pleasant. This round, one of our foursome was running late and the starter/ranger drove him out to join us. The course is in pretty good shape, especially considering the drought we’re in. The greens and tee boxes are good. The fairways are hard as concrete, so you have to be very careful to keep your ball in play.
Great Course but Inconsistent Greens
Course had some bald spots but many greens were not consistent in speed, which causes putting issues. Hoping the course can fix the greens sooner than later. Great course layout
Really tough course, fun to play
It's important to have course knowledge here at Towne Lake Hills. The course it not forgiving left or right with sheer drop offs unless you're on the fairway. All in all, great course layout, but hole 18 really was the handicap for folks who have never played before.
Not a good value
For the price not what I would expect. Carts are old no screens. Even the score cards did not have the hole lay outs so you have no idea where to hit.
Painful
For $93, there just isn't value in this course. The round took 5 hours and 15 min to play. There was several times that the tee box was stacked up. The rangers came by 4-5 times but clearly they don't encourage faster pace. Don't go unless you have ALL day to play and don't get frustrated waiting.
Good course
Overall it was you want to expect of a golf course. Good community as well.
