Hillsboro Country Club

The word on the Hillsboro CC is that it’s just right for the average golfer. The design dates back to the 1930s, and is a traditional layout built around a creek that comes into play on a few holes. The greens are elevated, so take enough club.

Other notes: Depending on who you talk to, the course may or may not be open to the public, but we’ll go with the Chamber of Commerce’s friendly recommendation that out-of-towners are welcome at HCC. When we originally called to schedule a round that we ended up avoiding, we were abruptly told by the older gentleman who answered the phone that the course wasn’t open to the public. Respect the locals and be on your best behavior when visiting Hillsboro’s course.

Getting there : From I-35 south, take Exit 268 (Old Brandon Rd), turn right and go 4 blocks to Country Club Road. Turn right again and head straight to the course.
