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.

Cool course. Friendly staff. fair price. The fairways could be better. Alot of dirt. Careful raking the traps. I got a bunch of fiberglass in my hand from a sun-weathered rake handle.
It's a swamp
It's a swamp not a golf course, go spend your hard-earned money somewhere.
Good easy course people were nice and we had a good experience
Thanks so much for the great review, PatCrews. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing TOP PICK

Solid Course
What a good solid course I'd recommend this course over most. Incredibly affordable, great food and beverage specials. I've played there 4 times just this week!
Good play
I always enjoy playing this course and bringing a friend.

Rough but fair price
Place used to be very nice! Was a great course 5-10 yrs ago, looks like they need to reseed their Bermuda as it tjeres alot of dead or dirt patches. Nice layout and surprisingly well manicured bunkers.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, tunetnt. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team and hope to improve the conditions for a better experience in the future.
priced accordingly to condition
Course is in rough condition but if you can get on for less than $20-25 than I think it's a fair price with cart included. Greens were the best part for each hole. They're slow rolling but I've played on some high-end courses after a week or so of punching(at reg price) that were way worse than my round here. I'll play again as we head into late summer if I can get on under $20 again.
Thank you for your feedback, ma11rats. We apologize for the current condition of the course and appreciate your understanding; we're working to improve and hope to offer a better experience in the future.

I liked everything about this course except for one thing. Even in the summer when you have fewer golfers, you should still have a marshal traveling around to police the pace of play. There are groups who don’t want to let a single play through even though there are no golfers visible in front of them, they don’t know how to play ready golf, and have no compunction about searching for a lost ball for a considerable amount of time while you stand on the tee watching. I ran into the beer girl 4 times but never saw a marshal.

Summer time Golf
Make sure that you have an open mind, remember it’s summer time and it’s been hot. Are there some things that are not perfect? Yes but the green’s are in great shape and roll true. Had a great time will be back soon.

Losing balls balls in very wet fairways and really long grass that should be cut to less than 8 inches
The greens were 95% great, the fairways had too many brown spots, 2 fairways had way too much water, but it was a fun day.

Course not in good shape
I wondered why the course was half the price of other courses in the area. Now I know. The fairways are mostly a mixture of bare dirt, clumps of grass and weeds. The greens were a bit rough but got better over the round. It was a cheap round, but I had fun.
Hi, judgemark! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at TOP PICK

The course literally doesn’t have grass
Very disappointed to see the condition of the course when we got out there. Are you guys going out of business? If you aren’t already then I can’t imagine this course will be around much longer. I grabbed the tee time because of the price but $40 is still too much to be playing a grass-less golf course.
From now on I will just get juiced by the $90 tee times at other courses.
We are very sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the course condition; your feedback is invaluable for our improvement. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to have the chance to exceed your expectations in the future.
