Slow play

We got paired with two older golfers that were super slow and decided to quit after 3 holes.. If we could get a refund back or get 2 or 3 Hot Deal codes.. Would really appreciate it.. I am a Golf Now Member and book all my tee times through Golf Now.. And also have told several people to sign up for the membership..

Thank You

Robbie Darrow

Long rounds

I haven’t played Hilldale in a few years and I remember why. Went there on a Monday and the entire round was close to 5 hours with the back 9 close to 3 hours itself. Course has a lot of bare spots without grass and bunkers are very inconsistent with some areas with no sand.

Tough design, but brat at turn was $8.5 so -1 point. We were paired w random beginners, and we finished 4:35 instead of 4:20. Carts were very finicky

Short, but challenging, good condition

Enjoyed the round and played ahead of pace. The greens were in great shape and rolled true and fast.

Service is horrible

Unfortunately, they don't handle people well. They are in such a hurry to get out they forget why they are there. Very rude and even loud at times from check in to the cart guys. The started was actually very accommodating.
