LPGA International - Hills Course

Fairways excellent, ball sits up. Tees good. Greens small and guarded, medium fast, a little crusty but OK. Traps washed out from recent rain. Nice varied layout. Some tough forced carries for short hitters. Course was empty, Symetra tournament was on the other course across street.

Everything was in great shape and the greens were fast and true. Hope to play there again soon.

Great course! First time playing it. Made it to the 15th. Hole before being rained out. Everything great teebox, greens and fairways especially.

Beautiful track. Challenging greens. Narrow fairways requiring accurate tee shots. Really enjoyed the course.

I found the course in need of maintenance. I have played there before and had much better conditions. Some bunkers were in need of sand, and there were several burned out areas of greens.

Great layout with multiple practice areas.

Course was not crowded at all either time we played.

Conditions were excellent. Green were firm and fast. Rough is thick Bermuda, easy to lose a ball if you’re not hitting straight.

Only real downside is the attitude of some staff. Bag drop guys were friendly and helpful, but the niceness ended there. Pro shop and restaurant staff either ignored you or acted like you were an inconvenience.

Terrific layout with with a great practice area. The heavy morning rain made the course play soft and long. There was some standing water in the bunkers but there was plenty of sand. The greens are in good condition and roll fast and true. The rough is think, but fair. If you land in the rough it will usually cost you at least 1/2 a shot. The only negative is the pace of play. I have played the hills course multiple times and it’s always a 5 hour round. I believe it’s because players use the wrong set of tees , struggle with the small greens and spend a lot of time looking for their ball in the rough. If you can hit it straight and have a good short game, the Hills course is a great challenge. If you can’t - spend some time at the LPGA practice facility and have a sandwich and drink in the restaurant- both are 5 stars.

Great Arthur Hills layout, in good shape, quick greens. The course really makes you think…

Great Value - efficient staff.

I preface all of this by saying I love LPGA.

I'll be back, but this was ridiculous.

Teed off early Sunday... like to get off early and get around quickly.

First 13 holes 1:40. Last 5 holes 1:40.

They let a bunch of groups start on the back nine that were baaaaaaaad golfers. Not sure what this was about but it gummed up the works for sure. I was told it was a staggered scramble. If so, they didn't know what a scramble was. They should have just all started on one with real tee times like everyone else. Never seen anything like it before.

Course is beautiful and ***very*** challenging. Great staff. Probably see you next Sunday. :-)

Playing golf course roulette is always fun on vacation...this one was a winner. Wide fairways, great greens and enjoyable experience! Course was wet from rain so played longer than expected. A few birdies and pars out there. Traps were wet and unplayable but who doesn’t love a free drop on vacation. We played the Hills but looking forward to playing Jones before I head home. Highly recommend!

The course was in great shape even with all the saturation events lately.

Normally I never say negative things about LPGA courses but some small things are starting to add up. Bunkers are in bad shape, most haven’t been groomed in a while. Greens are rolling fast and true, but even high soft landing pitches are rolling off. Ruff up a little high for me, maybe not for a scratch golfer. Never saw a cart girl the whole round, and the turn snack bar closed.

LPGA is the gold standard in Daytona, please don’t let it get away.

We were amazed at the setting of this course. So many lakes, trees, creeks. Such a nice change from the usual courses surrounded by houses.

Though this course winds thru Florida nature, I did not feel the fairways or approach shots were unfair or overly difficult. Knowing the course on a few holes (where to miss etc.) would've been helpful. This course is not set up in neighborhood housing, so you feel is just you and the course. The greens were faster than I'm used to so i had many 2-4 foot 2nd putts. Greens are smaller so a good chipping game is critical. I'll play this again on my next trip to Daytona loved the layout. I need to give it my revenge this the next time.
