Decent Course

I haven't played Hilldale in a couple of years. The course was in good shape although tee boxes were a little chewed up. The pace of play was great. Greens were fair and slow. The course has some challenging holes including several with water hazards. It was a fun course to play and will play it again. Only negative is the halfway house wasn't open and we only saw beverage cart once.

Twilight Tee Time

I went for a twilight time and there was a group that caused Build up by the second hole. Was only able to get 15 holes in and on the 15th a staff pulled the pin while we were mid hole. I mentioned how that was kinda bogus and he acted like he was being the nice one by letting us finish. It’s not hard to pull the pin from behind after a group finishes a hole. He seemed upset when I gave him this criticism.

Fun Course To Play

I always enjoy playing at Hilldale. Some of the holes can be quite challenging. I would like to see the conditions improved on hole 17 as you approach the green before the water. It has been in kind of bad shape for several years. Overall the course was good.

Nice course

Had a nice round. A couple sand traps were hard, and it would be great if there were a couple more places to get water. But overall a nice place to play, at a reasonable rate, thanks to GolfNow.

Tee Boxes need to be cleaned up

Tee Boxes were littered with debris, used tees ect. That I found very distracting, so I ended up picking up used tees and discarding
