Fun layout

The course was fun. Takes driver out of hand on a couple of holes and is tight off the tee box on a couple of holes, but it was fun. It was packed for a Wednesday afternoon but most of whom we caught up with let us by and were friendly about it. Only problem which was slight was the amount of cup holes on the greens. One green must have had over 20 different cup holes on it and it doesn't seem the grass in growing over them well. Would probably be better to just have 5 or 6 pin locations and have the ones not in use capped. Hole 9 was definitely the worst at having a rediciulous anount of old pin locations. Had 5 of them with in a 3 foot circumference. Other than that though it was a good course. I'm a 23 hdc and shot an 89 on a par 71. I'll take it. Lol.

Enjoy playing a round of 15 holes.

There was a holiday weekend. Slow play prevented us from finishing the round by three holes.

Terrible course

I have no idea why you would want to be a member at this course. Course is extremely unforgiving for amateur golfers. Greens are terrible, non-members are not allowed to use the driving range.

Golf is suppose to be fun. Playing this course is not. Do not play this course.

Terrible

Dead fairways, dead rough, dead everything. This course is terrible. There’s no starter on Hole 1, so you and as many of your friends can tee off at the same time. 13 golfers went off in a matter of 15 minutes before my round. You will be waiting on nearly every hole. For $55, this place is a total rip. I called it after it took over 2 hours for me to play 9 holes with a cart. Not to mention, the cart paths are terrible too.

Beautiful and well kept! Great winter golf!

I’ve played Golden Hills for years. It’s a nice, fun course. I feel yesterday’s round in particular warrants this excellent rating because they’ve gone the extra mile this year in course upkeep during the winter. It was beautiful, and please keep up the great work! Also, staff is very friendly. Thanks!!!

Great course, challenge to play

First time playing Golden Hills. Clubhouse staff were friendly. Putting and chipping green available but no range nearby to warmup. Course is in good condition and greens are in great shape, very pure and fast. Nice mix of holes that require smart course management decisions to avoid trouble.
