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
Great Course
Played during twilight hours and was very enjoyable. Will be playing again soon!
Solid course that was in great shape
To be honest the only reason I haven't played here more frequently is that the price remains on my high end for a weekend round. That's not a knock..this course gets a lot of play constantly. I remembered liking the layout and was very happy with my round and the course conditions. Greens were in great shape and the fairways are lush and soft. There were a few issues with bunkers due to all the rain but that's a small detail. Enjoyed the round and the layout ....will play again
Guy came out at 8:30 as we were teeing up on 17
And told us to come in with 2 holes to go. Terrible
Nice Course
This course is always a joy to play. Challenging holes and fairways and greens are always in great shape.
Review of Town Lake Hills
This course is very hilly, but challenging. Fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Course layout is interesting with quite a few blind shots, but is highly playable if you are on your game.
Challenging from the tips
This is a course you can lose some balls on. Very challenging if you don't know the course, but fun!
first time
very nice course. played with a knowledgeable member, very helpful. a few holes oddly designed with blind shots. good to have a member. will definitely play again.
Perfecr day
Great shape. No carnival layouts or put putt. 18 to nightmare but excellent course
Very Nice Challenging Course
I had played this course approximately 17 years ago before taking a long hiatus from the sport. This is a very nice course that has many challenging holes with blind tee shots and elevation changes. The staff members of the grill and pro shop were friendly and helpful. Played in the afternoon so the course was quiet and the pace was excellent. The only drawback is the cart paths can be a little rugged and steep and the distance between holes kind of long and that is my only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5. This course is about an hour drive for me but was worth the trip and will be back again. I recommend this course and facility. Thank you.
Slow pace
Over 5 hours to play.
Starter put out 3 2somes in a row behind 4somes that slowed play. On course ranger was no where to be seen. 2some ahead of us was hitting 4-5 balls on each hole that further slowed play.
Good Golf Course
Nice golf course, was difficult for my first time but i enjoyed a lot
Conditions worsening
I have been playing this course for over 10 years now, and I must say that I am becoming increasingly concerned over the conditions of this course. Granted, the greens were aerated, and we were made aware of that but this is NOT the reason for my concerns. It does not seem as though they are putting any money into improvements, much less repairs of the course. From very poor cart path conditions in many areas to the simple basics of having fluid in the ball washers, the details are being WAY overlooked, and it shows. The layout of the course itself is great- love playing it- but it is deteriorating, and it's a shame.
Greens punched
Just played a few days ago, and greens were punched this week. Best to wait a couple of weeks for them to heal. That is the reason for the low course rating at this time. Other than that a great course.
Great Course with Interesting Elevation Changes
This course was in surprisingly good condition considering the amount of rain it had taken and the fact we are in the dormant grass season.
The elevation changes add some challenge and make the course fun. It plays pretty wide, but the design will challenge you as you get close to the green with some water and bunkers protecting the greens. The greens were in good shape, i would think they get even better in prime season. The slope on some greens can make them pretty difficult depending on hole placement.
I play this course a few times a year and know that the course closes at 8:30. The closing time is posted in the golf cart. So, I'm a little confused by this golfer's comment.
