Golden Hills Golf Club
About

It is has a traditional layout that features large, subtly sloped greens that are guarded by bunkers. Stately cottonwood and eucalyptus trees line the generous fairways. Lakes form water hazards that come into play on five holes and there is also native rough throughout the course. With four sets of tee boxes, the course offers a suitable challenge for players of all skill levels. In addition to the course and the school, the Golden Hills Golf Club has a putting green and chipping area as well.

Conditions
The fairways were spotty. The greens were ok. The rough was dirt. Perhaps I’m being nostalgic but at one time AGR was a go to. What happened?
Course a lot of work
Pro
The greens were payable
Staff was friendly
Cons
Fairways were not good, some Fairways you had move your ball 3 or 4' to get a little of bit grass, I'm talking in the middle.
Place of play was a little little slow 4:45.
I played this last year and 1 time in October. This was the worse I saw the course in.
Below average
Pros
Greens we ok
Staff is excellent
Place of play is over 4:30
Cons
The fairways is dead, there was time in the middle off the fairway we had to move 3 or 4' to get a little bit of grass.
There was standing water on some off fairways.
The sand trap there's no sand.
The course be in good shape this time of year.
I played 5 times last year it's wasn't a bad.
Good course for the price
Course is in decent shape for this time of year. Lots of dirt off fairways but not muddy. Soft sand in the bunkers. Easy to play.
Golden hills
They should have renamed this course goat path hills. There’s no excuse for the conditions at this course. Greens are ok but tees and fairways are just plain awful. Staff is friendly but can’t hide the truth that this place is a dumpster fire.
Nothing special
Course was okay but could have been in better shape. MAIN disappointment was the ball washers which had rancid water in them. Absolute turnoff as an indication of course maintenance.
