Slow play

I'm sure it was my fault for trying to play on a Friday before a holiday..but still, the play was really slow ..which meant the rangers didn't push anyone.
Great course but had to quit after 16.

In need of watering

Greens, and fairways were very firm with a lot of rollout. You needed a hammer to get your tee in the ground. The bunkers could use some more sand. Tough to play a normal bunker shot. If Hilldale decided to water their course, I would play it a lot more.

Nice Course, No Amenities

We enjoyed our round. Some challenging holes. We were disappointed the cart girl came before the third hole and we told we would buy something when we saw her next and she said she would see us soon. Never saw her again. Wanted to grab a hot dog and something to drink after the 9th hole. Stand was closed. If we go again we are bringing our own cooler with food. If it was a hot and humid day, golfers would have had some issues

Course needs TLC Average at Best

Local golfer, Played this course many of times but 1st time this year. The course is just an average course at best. It’s needs some improvement. Rock hard tee boxes, hard to just get a tee in. Fairways like concrete and bunkers aren’t soft. There’s others near by that are way better layouts, better course conditions, amenities. For the same price. Won’t recommend and won’t be back. A 5star rating is just ridiculous it’s not at all.

Staff is a bunch of old losers who hate there lives

Fire or force them into retirement because the starter and hotdog veteran at the 9th holes arnt doing anyone any good. They are fat lazy and angry everyday and make everyones round worse.

Extremely slow pace of play

Extremely slow pace of play. Even if you tee off by 2pm it would be difficult to get 18 holes in. Course is crowded, and the skill level of the other golfers are beginner at best. Waiting to tee off on the first hole…the group in front (4ppl) took 9 mulligans. Not exaggerating. Why the starter allowed this is beyond me. The farthest “drive” went maybe 160 yards. They played the blue tees. This group hit multiple shots off of every tee box. Absolutely terrible experience

Hello, Retroezbake. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Hilldale Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
