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
Greens were true, rest of course not so much
The greens were in surprisingly good shape, everything else was not.
The Golf Was Great
My multiple Golf Experiences where fantastic. The course is great. Staff are very friendly. The price for the range is reasonable. The Golf Carts are well maintained. I go there every weekend and it is always fantastic. I do recommend this to any golfer that wants a fun time.
Towne Lake Golf
I go to the Towne Lake Golf Club every weekend and it is always a great time. The staff there is very friendly. The food at The Grille is exceptional. The course is well maintained. The driving range is a good price for the amount of golf balls you get. I would recommend this to anyone
Not impressed
The last time I played this course was 5 years ago.
Wow, it has gone downhill a lot.
I know it is still winter, but the upkeep is not there.
One of the most glaring things was artificial turf on one par 3 tee area.
The golf cart (gas) was horrible. No power and the fumes were bad.
I have always liked the track, so maybe will try it again in the summer.
The greens were in good shape and rolling well.
Most of the holes are down slope and uneven fairways.
Super big and fast greens!
I am seeing entry and exit for the first time!
Overall very good course to play and enjoy!
Great value
This course offers scorable golf holes but also challenging if you are struggling with keeping the ball in play. It can be a very tough course but also fun to play. Greens are always good.
fine if you don't mind a six hour round
First time I have left because of slow play.At the 13th there were eight players on the green at one time.
I seen the marshal at least four times,seems he was enjoying the ride and weather but doing nothing else.
Thanks to Golfnow , at least I didn't waste that much money.
Played longer
Nice track on this course. Will probably play again as I was not familiar with it's layout the first time playing. Greens were in great shape. Tried to stop for beer after golf but the bar closed at 5:00 PM.
A tricky but not tricked-up favorite
One of my favorites, it's a course that you'll probably attack differently the second time you play it. The layout is tricky, but not tricked-up; with dramatic elevation changes, lots of doglegs, strategic water and waste area hazards, it plays longer than the yardage on the card. Course is consistently in good condition, with great facilities and great staff. It does get a lot of play, and always seem to be full, but is well-managed for a reasonable pace of play.
A Great Course
A great layout that featured great contour, good conditions, and very fast and hilly greens. A great variety in the greens as to size, shape, and angle to play that you don't often see on golf courses. An enjoyable round, you can't go wrong on this one. A nice clubhouse and pretty good food as well.
Great public course in the Towne Lake area
I played Towne Lake Hills today in absoulutley frigid weather from the time I got out of my car. The clubhouse was very nice and there where so many great features on the course. And the food that I had at the turn was great I had nachos which where great. The course itself was great however the greens where a little slow but they where fine. 11 is the best hole on the course with the water. The greens here where very small. I was debating to give the course a three star rating or four star rating but these where the reasons that I gave it four.
1. The clubhouse was stacked with all the new clubs and appereal for the winter and the new 2017 clubs and putters.
2. The clubhouse food was great and the nachos where some of the finest I've had in a while.
3. The grass was over seeded and green.
4. The practice facility is great.
These are all the reasons that I gave Towne Lake Hills a four star rating. I highly reccomend this course to anybody that wants to play a fun round.
This course is long
You better bring your A game with you when you play this course. It plays long. Greens are in excellent shape and very fast.
Nice track
The course was in good shape. Greens were decent with lots of undulations. Good luck finding a flat spot in a fairway.
Good time at Towne Lake
Had a nice time @ Towne Lake. Glad I played with a local who played there a lot. Disappointed the driving range wasn't open on Tuesday mornings. I did have an opportunity to chip and putt to warm up. There should be listing when practice facilities are closed on GOLF NOW for each course listed. Several of the greens really had a lot of ball marks from previous play. Loved the layout and the beautiful scenery. There was no cart-girl with refreshments available when I played.
Town lake hills degrading to a D level course
I played this course for many years and dissatisfied with the course conditions - greens especially. I have played many municipal courses that were in better condition, but the greens fees were 50% less.
Not as forthcoming as I would like
Showed up on Sunday morning, paid $55 for green fees, only to discover on first green that greens are recuperating from recent aerification. Some discount and certainly notification were in order.
Nice condition
The tee boxes, fairways, rough, greens were in good condition. Nice layout - plenty of distance. Three greens we're being repaired.
Always fun
This is one of the underrated courses in the area and worth my 45 minute drive. A good, fair track, enough of a challenge for all skill levels. Conditions good, pace a little slow starting out but marshal lit a fire under the slowpokes, back nine flowed. And the cutie in the clubhouse put a nice capper on the day.
Great customer service
The gentleman at the counter was very prompt in responding to our tee time and very courteous. Great customer service. Sets the example.
