LPGA International - Hills Course

Phenomenal course and one of the most challenging I’ve played due to the tight fairways, small greens and pin placements near the fringe. Would definitely play here again.

So first off let me say I use to love going to this course and drive from over a hour away to play. So first off we had to wait for a cart and couldn’t even get to the range to warm up. So I decided to get some lunch from the snack shack and got charged $15.01 for 2 hot dogs and come to find out one was ice cold not even cooked! Then we finally get to the first tee box and no starter to be found me while there’s two 2somes ahead us that should have been paired up but had to play by themselves. Not only did they hold up half the course but wouldn’t let us go around. They were horrible golfers that should’ve just went to the range. Needless to say I won’t be back till the snowbirds are gone

The course was in good shape. If it rained a bit more it would be in perfect condition. Traps were ok but some were muddy. Pace of play was slow around a couple of the par 3’s. But overall we played in 5 hours.

Was expecting a little more for the price.

- no carts until 5m to tee time

- no starter

- no time to chip or putt

- no time to hit a few warmup

I played both the Hills and Jones courses multiple times during my visit to Daytona Beach. I especially loved the Hills design. Every hole was unique and challenging.

I played for the first time at the Hills course, I booked as a single and was able to play as a single as nobody took the 3 available times, I was able to tee off early and was 40 minutes ahead of pace! Starter l/Marshall was real nice, excellent layout! Only drawback was no divot repair mix on course or carts!

It was a bad start,they had a scramble coming through waited for 5 groups after our tee time. Then it was very slow waited every shot almost a 5hr 15min round. The course was in good shape and the greens rolled nice,but when you wait every shot that takes away your interest

We first played Hills a few years ago and found it somewhat challenging. It was in great shape. Unlike the Jones course, you could feel at times like you were alone with the course. Many of the holes were completely surrounded by Florida swamps and forests. It was beautiful. They’ve ruined it. There is now a giant construction site sprawling through the course like a scab. The incessant beeping of construction equipment punctuates your putting, and sand and dust blows around.

Greed is rampant, and they oversold the day. Pace of play was fine, once we got out on the course. However, our tee off was delayed 40 minutes by their horrendous time management. There were about two dozen frustrated golfer hanging around aggravating to poor cart guy, while they waited for carts to come back.

Maybe Hills will someday become a nice course winding through a development. Right now, if you play it, bring a hard hat. I’m out.

Well, we delayed teeing off for well over an hour because they had a college tournament in front of us which allegedly resulted in no carts being available. This wasn’t mentioned at check in. When we finally got to play, we discovered that vast tracks of the property between the fairways were under excavation for housing development, which sent dust over everything and everyone with the added bonus of large equipment noise. To top it off, we went through 3 golf carts due to battery failure. No one, and I mean no one apologized for this fiasco. In mentioning this to the person in the pro shop I was told new carts were on order and no consideration or compensation would be given for our experience. Well, I’ve played this course a number of times and never will again.

The pace was slow on back nine but other than that it was a great day
