LPGA International - Hills Course

Rained the day before. Cart path only but place was saturated. Quit after 9 holes. Should have had the Hills course closed that day. I see now why there was only 2 other groups out there. Hope to go back next year with better condition.

The Hills course is a great test of your golf game. Small fast greens, great fairways and the best practice area around. The Arthur Hills course is fun, challenging and visually interesting. He will test your short game with a variety of required chips to these small greens. The back 9 is beautiful and the last 3 holes are big boy tough. Warm that driver up if you're playing Blue tees or tips, yikes!

My favorite course in the area

Course was immaculate, greens were quick but fair. Staff was awesome, beers/food was great too. Love this place

Incredible practice facility and the range line seems to be moved often enough that you’ll always have fresh grass. The Hills course was challenging, narrow in a lot of places and over 7000k yards from the back tees. Greens were a little slow and I personally prefer faster putting but it didn’t ruin the day. Great facilities, well manicured tees, fairways and greens. The greens were true just took a little getting used to on the speed. I’m working in the area for a few weeks and I’ll be back to play the Jones course. When I arrived early I wasn’t sure where any of the facilities were or first tee. I had both staff and other players (members perhaps) who helped me find my way around. If I lived closer I’d have a membership for sure. I included a photo of my best approach shot of the day. Kicked in for birdie, of course.

This has been my favorite Daytona course for years. However, I saw that there is major construction on the front nine - I assume for houses. Hundreds of trees levelled. That is so unfortunate as it was like playing in a nature preserve. This will not help the look of the course and will make the experience so much less. Really too bad. Don't ruin the back nine too. And some greens were a bit bumpy. But still love the course. Not sure after the homes come in...

Beautiful course but can be difficult. Keep the ball in the fairways. Don't miss a green too far left or right or your ball will be gone.

It was easy to hit your drive ob due to sloping fairways. Seemed to play longer than yardage on the card. Only played 12 holes due to heavy rain.

only complaint is that the snack bar at hole 9 was closed .

only saw the cart girl 1 time ...this isn't the first time

We drove from St. Augustine to play the Hills Course mainly because a lot of courses are doing greens maintenance this time of year and we were told the greens were in good shape. They rolled pretty good. Are almost fully recovered from aeration in May. The Jones course was punched this week. I always call to check this before we book as I have been burned before. Fairways are wide open on most holes, which I like. The conditions of fairways and rough was very nice. The bunkers were not great but not a huge issue. They are taking down trees on some hole to build houses I guess but this wasn’t an issue for us. Lots of water and thick woods if you are way off the fairway. Tee boxes were in good shape, not an issue. They offer very early tee times which was another reason we picked this course. Tee’d off at 0630 and finished in 4 hours. The pace of play was good. We were a little slow and let a few groups play through. The facilities seemed nice but at 6am only thing open was pro shop. Pro Shop was well stocked and even sold some drinks. After we played we did go back inside. Seemed like the restaurant was open but we didn’t go in. Had some golf shirts on sale and outside pro shop. Overall a great experience. A lot of reviews I read talk about staff and bathrooms. The course was great, greens really good. Fair price. Play here! We will probably add this course to our yearly vacation rotation.

During checkin we weren’t told that the snack shop, which was the only beverage option on the course, was closed. On a very hot and humid day, the only water option was an old water fountain at the bathroom. The construction around the site made most of the course an eyesore. One of our carts died on the 15th hole. Tried to call the course multiple times with no answer (eventually someone picked up). It’s sad because this course could be a premier course with better service.

Feels like it could be a Tour venue with VERY little effort. Greens running well on the Hills course today, fast too! Even for the summer! Love this place! Would play every day if I could! Wee snack shop at the turn was important, as there is no water freely available until you hit a restroom and a fountain is available.

Great track, played with 2 Locals. Had a blast. Love the challenge of each hole. Smart play allows for good scores.

I played this course a few times before and remembered it being beautiful. Unfortunately, they are now developing along many of the holes. The piles of cut trees, cleared out areas, and construction vehicles have ruined the natural element that really made this course special. Honestly, it’s depressing to play it so I quit after 9 and won’t be back.

Had a great round and course was great. Staff was not friendly at all. First time at course and no directions on where to go or how to get a cart. When asked directions was met with rude service as if I was bothering them. No beverage cart came around the whole round. Was dying of thirst when done. Mowers did not stop when I was on tee box or playing a shot. Very disappointing.

it finally happened, the golf gods were over thrown by the $$$$$$. Once only a hand full of houses were able to be seen on hole # 2, now the land near #1, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 is being cleared to put up homes and there are survey markers near #16. Just a shame.

Soon it will turn into Victoria hills, once a top 100 now I wont play whats left a beautiful layout.

The greens are still bumpy from aeration.
