Worth the trip and the money

I traveled to play this course over 75 miles and was not disappointed. From the pro shop to the starter to the 18th green, I thoroughly enjoyed this course and definitely plan to return with friends!

Great layout, needs a little work

Always enjoy playing here, it’s an interesting layout. Staff was friendly and pace of play was decent. We did notice that most tee boxes were in poor condition, not much grass and a lot of slipping. Greens should be better in a week or two.

Andy Davis Review

Close, clean and friendly. Course is in great shape. Challenging pen placements with a few tight fairways. Can be crowded so playing under 4 hours isn’t always a given. My go to course for sure!

Staff

Clubhouse worker when I was checking in needed to make sure he told me I should not have been able to book a early morning tee time on golf now. Bad experience

Nice course and great staff

I arrived and checked in and was an hour early because I misread my tee time. Starter got me off right away anyway!

Excellent course, my first below 80

Enjoyed playing, on the green without any mulligans for the first time given the pace of play was just right. Beautiful day.

Pleasant Day

Course is in very good shape for mid-April, greens are great and rolled true. Large chipping/putting area right near #1. Several tee boxes needed a little love but I could see there was fertilizer/seed down. Only knock is that there are several holes that run very close to houses so even a slightly errant tee shot or a skull of the iron/wedge could result in your ball ending up in someone's backyard. Overall a fun course and one I look forward to playing again.

Enjoyable

Very good greens with a good bit of slope and pretty fast. Tee boxes are mostly dirt, but this course gets a lot of play and it’s expected for winter conditions. Fairways are above average for this area. This course is in an in-town location and stays busy. Pace of play was slow and usually is. I played with 2 other guys and it took 5 hours, which is not unusual there for a midday start. If you hate waiting on the tee, it’s not for you.

nice day, nice course

This is the 2nd time I've played Golden Hills and enjoyed its layout where it will definitely challenge the experienced golfer but allows some room for the higher handicappers (Like me) to not be penalized too much for errant shots. Greens in very good condition. Fairways, rough and fringe though are still in winter like conditions where your are mostly playing off of bare ground or very thin lies which makes it tougher to get the ball up in the air.
