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.

Course in good condition
The gold course is in good condition but the greens are starting to stress due to the high heat but still good.
Thank you for the 4-Star review, we appreciate the great feedback regarding our course conditions, especially after the hot weather we have received. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for the 5-Star review! Please come back and see us again soon.
Back from winter
Course is back in form. Fairways in good shape. Greens were nice too. Played during winter when course conditions weren't nearly as nice. Couple of tee boxes need help (trees trimmed to allow grass to get sun). Spring has sprung at Towne Lake Hills.
Thank you for the awesome review! We appreciate the great feedback regarding our course conditions. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
HILLS!!!. that's a perfect name.
This course was designed by Arthur Hills. Perhaps it is just a coincidence but HILLS is an appropriate name for the course. Almost every fairways has hilly terrain with very few spots for level lies. The fairways are rather wide (17 and 18 are especially wide). The greens putt true with a lot of break and several tiered greens.
The par 5 holes are quite nice. The 2nd has a a dramatic third shot into a green guarded by water on the left. The green is elevated requiring a well hit shot. Don't go left on this one. The 18th is another dramatic third shot. It is hard to see the green from your second shot but aim left for a direct entry to the green on the third. This green is guarded front and left by water.
Another nice hole is the par 4 13th. The tee shot remind me of 18 at Augusta -- driving through a shoot of trees with a fairway bending right. Watch out though--if you cut it too far right you are in the woods and a creek.
This is a course you need to ride as the distance between greens to tees are quite long. I would guess that if you walked it would be similar to walking 27 holes totals on a normal course.
A few negatives. The tee boxes are not well-maintained and lack grass in many spots. Also, the cart path is lined with ropes and has defined entry and exit points -- a bit of a bother that is unnecessary on a dry day.
A quality course that will certainly challenge your game-- putting and fairway shots.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Towne Lake Hills!
A great layout
The course is filling in nicely and the greens are running pretty fast. A good value for the money and plays longer than the total yards. Would recommend for all handicaps.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Towne Lake Hills Golf Club thanks you!
Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
A good golf course
I play this course quite regularly and the course needs some work on the tee boxes, the greens were thick but slow (cut very high), and we played in 3:45 as a foursome which is very good. A very good layout especially the back nine and a course all handicaps can play and enjoy.
Thank you for the great review! We appreciate the 4-Stars, we hope to have the greens faster in the next few weeks. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again in the near future.
Needs hot weather
The course needs some hot weather to make the Bermuda pop. Overall it is pretty good shape.
Thank you for the 4-Star review, we appreciate the feedback as the hot summer months are right around the corner! Hope to see you again in the next few weeks.
Wet conditions
The low conditions rating has everything to do with the inclement weather conditions during the past few months
Thank you for your 5-star rating! We appreciate you taking the weather into consideration before booking your round with us. Please come back and see us again soon.
Utterly Disappointed
I had high hopes when I booked my tee time to play this course based on previous reviews, sadly it did not come remotely close to my expectations. First and foremost the course should not have been open for play. I called the pro shop prior to my booked time inquiring on course conditions , they informed me that the course was still open for play. The tee boxes resembled muddy grass patches, out of 18 holes only three boxes lacked standing water. The fairways were in excellent condition, as well as superbly managed greens. My final complaint is regarding the marshal. My golf partner and I were approached early in our match (hole 4) and informed us we were 10 minutes behind pace of play. Mind you the marshal delayed our start by 15 minutes, no one was in front of us on the first tee, and it was cart path only, and we ended our round 20 minutes ahead of pace of play. Unless you are a professional, do not plan on playing a fun round. The marshal will trail you like a rabid bloodhound the entire match. I will definitely never be returning to this course.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recovery the fairways and greens after the poor weather we have received. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Towne Lake Hills, we hope to see you again soon.
We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. Thank you for coming out and we hope you'll give us another try so that we can increase your overall star rating.

Thank you for the 4-Star review! We appreciate the feedback, we will take a closer look and see when the aeration notes were removed on GolfNow. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
Towne Lake Hills
A wonderful layout, good value for the money, and always in good shape. Right now the Bermuda is just starting to pop and shortly the fairways will be very good. They punched the greens a couple of weeks ago and the greens were a little slow and long. Should be very good shortly.
Thank you for the 4-Star review, we appreciate the great feedback regarding our course conditions, especially with the Summer transition. Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for the 4-Star review!
Great course
Played on st Patrick’s day. Greens were in great shape. Was told they were punching them the next week. Pace of play was extremely slow. Foursome of guys out there more for drinking and less for golf. Ranger didn’t care.
First time I’ve ran into that situation at Towne Lake Hills. I’m going to chalk it up to a holiday fluke. Love this course.
Thank you for the 5-Star review! We are so glad that the greens were up to par after the recent aerification! Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again this Weekend!
