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 Layout and Fun Course to Play
Course was in great condition for this time of year. The greens were still healing from being punched recently, but they're still rolling true and fast. I only wish more people would use the common courtesy to repair ball marks. I did my best and repaired at least 1 or 2 more than my own. It's pretty sad people just disregard that part of the game. Other than that, everything was pretty much awesome. Bunkers were well maintained and as they should be. Will play again soon as I live very close.
Challenging Course & a Great Day
The course was in good condition except for the remains of the recent aeration on the greens and teh weather was a bit cool which made for a great day of golf. Liked the course layout and the challenges it presented.
NEW PRO SHOP MANAGER
I play this course a dozen times annually. Last week was my first round since last June due to tendonitis in both elbows. I purchased a pre-paid tee time on this website. I arrived 60+ minutes prior to my tee time, purchased range balls and proceeded to the driving range. I was ready to start playing in about 30 minutes and went to the pro shop to notify the Manager I was teeing off early because the course was basically empty based on the number of cars in the parking lot.
He notified me if I tee'd off even 10 minutes early I would be required to pay an additional fee. I stated I played many rounds annually and routinely was permitted to go out early if no one was scheduled on the tee sheet for that earlier time. He stated he was the new manager and attempted to shake my hand but stood firm about additional fees if I played early.
The young man is VERY young. I would bet he is right out of college and I told him it was not right to make me wait considering so many golf courses to play. Why would he go so far out of his way to be such a jerk for basically $10.
He stated he did not want me to stop playing at Towne Lake but again, almost daring me not to start early. I thought afterwards if he was willing to call the police if I started early and did not pay additional fees?
Beware on your prepaid tee times at this course as long a the young man enforces the rule to the letter.
I will be playing this course in the future when the manager is not working.
Our March Round
We enjoy playing Towne Lake because the course is usually in good conditions and although the greens are relatively fast, they offer a fair test for the above average player.
Challenging course for all levels.
The course was in good shape for early March. This course is a fair challenge for all levels. Make sure you bring your shot game with you. The green complexes are tricky.
St. Pats day play
Course was in very good shape and greens rolled true--not too fast or slow-- tee boxes and fairways were also appealing with green grass already showing up on fairways. The staff is always helpful checking in (also got a handicap) and the cart girl was in great spirits. Tough but fair test, go check it out!
No where to hit it
This is a great and challenging course. Need to know where to place the ball on the course. Fun challenging course requiring good course management.
Very very wet day....
Very good layout with a very challenging course. Of course the day I played was right after Atlanta had five inches of rain...Making play very difficult....
Nice value - challenging course!
Had a nice time playing this course for the first time. Weather was a little chilly, and due to it being Autumn, the course showed that it was going through seasonal changes. However, it was a great course with very challenging layout. Would definitely play it again!
Wet
Course is in very good condition. I'm not a fan of the layout but the price was right.
Great Layout
Love the layout. Got a level of toughness a beginner need not try. Has big beautiful greens that a soft to your aproach shot, but fast to your putt. Weekday senior and midday rates a bit pricy, but nice course nevertheless.
Always fun
I always enjoy playing here, I love the layout of the course and it loves me back. Course was in really good shape especially after all the rain we've recently had.
Great local course!
It's a great local course. Don't tell anyone if you find a flat spot or they will put a hill on it. It's called town lake HILLS for a reason. Hills make it fun for myself though.
need to do some work
Normally nice course but rough was 5 to 7 inches long the cart path has become very bumpy enough to be popping extra balls out of the bag and trees needed to be limbed up , greens where pretty nice though and fairway has seen better days
Best condition this season
Greens and fairways in great shape. The greens rolled true and fast, but held good approaches.
Good round
The course was in great shape. I enjoy playing this course.
Nice Course, But A Terribly Long Round
Played here before about ten years ago, and was looking forward to playing here again. Course has a lot of elevation changes, forced carries, and undulating greens. Was paired with three other golfers. One excellent player, another pretty good, and the last player struggled a bit. Was a pleasant foursome, but the time it took to play on a beautiful sunny day was ridiculous. FIVE HOURS and TWENTY MINUTES after teeing off we finally finished. I can understand if it was cart path only, but a round of golf should NEVER take this long. Also NEVER saw a Marshall all day to speed up play. Was playing pretty good until about halfway through the back nine when we all started losing our concentration due to the long waits. Very good golf course, and for sure recommended, but I will NEVER play here again on a weekend. I live 25 minutes from the course, and I was gone for EIGHT hours before I got back home. The only course I would spend this much time on would be Augusta National, and I guarantee you that you would not be allowed to play there In five hours and 20 minutes.
One of my favorite courses, just expect to wait
I play here all the time and I love the golf course, lots of hazards and tough tee shots. Unless you tee off before 10:30 it will take 5 hours to play.
