Towne Lake Hills Golf Club
About
Carved from acres of wooded countryside in Woodstock, Towne Lake Hills Golf Club takes advantage of the rolling green hills. The dramatic elevation changes make it difficult to find an even lie anywhere on the course. Arthur Hills, the course's designer, incorporated a variety of challenges that makes each hole unique including a deft smattering of sand bunkers. The golf course depends as heavily on course management and strategy as it does on shot-making skills. It is a challenge to say the least, but it's fair. There are also four sets of tees that make it more approachable. One of the most memorable holes is the fifth. This par 5 presents an interesting risk-reward opportunity that will make you think. Towne Lake Hills G.C. boasts consistently good course conditions and idyllic scenery that make the round even more enjoyable.

The best shot of my life. My first shot on hole 11. 308 yard par 4. Photo submitted by u000007718501 on 11/12/2013
Can’t beat the hot deal value here
Course was in great shape. Soft greens were nice to hit into. I wish more people would repair their ball marks; greens would be even better. Matts on the range and no beverage cart on the course are the only complaints.
Challengingly Gun Course
Course layout and distances make it a challenge course where the challenge makes the round fun. It'll test ability to plan shots and shot placement without taking the fun out of golf. Pace of play was solid for my round until the 18th hole. Waited for 30 minutes just to tee off on 18. Possibly because of the layout of the hole requiring a "hero" shot for the green in 2 or a lay-up then approaching an elevated green for GIR. Rest of the course was open. Tee boxes were rough during my round though. Very damaged and in dire need of a cut.
Nice Course
staff was very kind,
course conditions is very good
green litter be slow
will play again
Good Value Round
Course was in good condition and played well. Staff friendly overall. Good value round, will play again.
Improving!
This course over the last few years has been in really rough shape. However, they are working to improve the course and its showing! Still not “perfect”, but really getting better.
Nice Course, but Overcrowded
I have play Town Lake a few times and every time I enjoy playing the course, but every time it is overscheduled. I seem to have to wait about 5 minutes on every tee box and sometimes on my second shot. It takes at least 4:30 or 5hrs to play, at best. I would gladly pay 10% more if they would reduce their players by 10%. It is the one thing that keeps me from going there more often.
On the upside, the greens on 4/26/25 were REALLY nice and I loved that. Also, the tee boxes were in decent shape. It is early in the season, so I know the rest of the course will come in pretty nice.
Bottom line is this could be my default course if the waiting times were so horrific.
Returning to normal conditions
Greens were punched a 1 1/2 months ago. They are returning to good speed and solid roll conditions. Greens are firm and smoothing out. Not quite back to normal pace but just off, no more bouncing off line.
Fairways are growing in as spring is in full swing. Pace of play was actually very manageable, 4 1/2 hours on a public course on a beautiful Sunday is pretty solid around these parts.
Greens slow and still bumpy.
This course is greening up and improving. The greens are still slow and bumpy from the recent aeration. Overall the place is in decent shape. The practice green is toast. I like the price and the layout. Friendly crowd and good food in the restaurant. Its a good place.
fun day for the money
Came back here after not playing for a few months. Still enjoyable. enjoyable course to play.
