Hilldale has personality

Love this gem tucked away in the village of Hoffman Estates. Each hole has personality, not cut from the same mold as so many other local golf courses. My only criticism is that there were no water stations or beverage carts on the course, so be prepared! The grilled hot dogs at the turn is nice. Play here a couple times a year and will continue to do so.

Can you say slow??

First, I have rangered at courses in Chicago and AZ. I did not see anyone monitoring pace of play at Hilldale. The pace on the front was great, roughly two hours. Unfortunately we went 2:45 on the back!! While there are a couple of challenging holes on the back, there is absolutely no reason for that pace!! I at a loss to explain this differential, but I don’t have to, I just don’t have to go back!

It's been a while, and I was pleasantly surprised

staff was friendly and courteous, the course was in excellent condition, despite the rainstorm hours before we played. and it is as challenging as you let it be playing from the tees that suit your game best. Don't torture yourself biting off more than you can chew, because this course will show you either a terrific opportunity or make you question your ability, while still providing a fair test of golf. Enjoy!!

5 hour round

Need Marshall’s out there because the pace of play was very slow. The group in front of us needed to be pushed. But it’s such a great course
