Terrific day at Hill Valley

This is a top course with panoramic views of the Llandrillo mountains and picturesque fairways full of mature trees. Beautiful parkland with carefully planned holes, superb greens and a good mix of 3's, 4's and 5' pars. Tight raised par 3 greens, doglegs and some decent long 5's. Has a great day at this quality facility. No hesitation in recommending this place.
