Settler's Hill Golf Course

Had a great Round at Settlers Hill most courses were still without carts but they have had carts the whole time. The new layout is great! Great Staff

First time this year at Settler's Hill and I really enjoyed the new layout. The first and ninth hole now are near the club house which makes perfect sense.

I had a more critical eye this time around.

- Tee areas were well worn.

- Not much spacing between black and white and yellow tees...specially whites an yellows.

- Fringe of all greens crammed with clover.

- edges of greens have many ant hills.

- Fairways were unevenly bare\not bare.

- rough was more weeds than grass.

-#5 should probably be made back into a par 5 moving the tee-off area back could do it.

- Bunkers were in decent shape.

-Greens were running a bit yet would hold a shot and I like that.

- Fairways were running a bit that's good.

- 9:16 tee time and the round took 5+ hours - that had to do as much with our 4 some as pace of play.

All and all, with the rains and heat, this course should be in better shape.

I'll go back to my original review from a few years ago. They never should have opened when they did after the remodel. They should have waited another year...but could they afford to lose another year's revenue?

Fun course to play. Some really interesting par 3 and par 5 holes. I would highly recommend.

I live right by the course and have played it probably 30 times over the past 15 years. I had hope that after the renovation things would change. No, we are back to a dog-track. The course layout has potential but the lack of maintenance puts a damper on any round played here. Years ago I suggested a “Golfers, please fix your ballmarks” sign. That never happened and still, no one seems to fix ballmarks. The price is not worth the experience.

There are a lot of blind shots and then swells and hills. Very difficult to know where your ball went.

If you’re not dead accurate, can be an unenjoyable round.

With all of the blind shots, and no GPS carts, you will need to use a GPS app.

Probably a course than becomes more enjoyable the more you play it and know where to hit it, but very tough on the first round.

I was able to play this course as a first look at the renovation in 2022.

It was a goat ranch and should not have been opened for play then.

I vowed never to play it again, it was so bad.

Today ? Just WOW. ! It's matured.

There is a newer routing that fits.

The grounds are mature...there aren't very many thin spots.

The rough is challenging.

The bunkers are playable. Drainage is outstanding (it had just rained) and the greens ran a little bit.

They changed management companies.

I don't know if that change had anything to do with the improvements but improvements there were.

They were going to build a new clubhouse...don't know if that is still the plan.

Go play it.

It's worth the effort and the normal rate.

played this course most recently on 5-27-26. last time i played it was in 2024 & it felt like an entirely different course. not only because they changed the layout, but because they have made such big improvements in the conditions. walked 18 at 3:30 & i paid $32. may not be worth $75 on weekends yet, but absolutely worth a week day round

Three years after revamping the course there are still many areas where there is no grass. Just hard baked dirt. Even some of the greens have patches of dirt. The layout and hills are awesome and fun. The greens are tough with lots of break. If there was better grass coverage this course would be tops in the area.

Pace was horrible. You had twosomes going off every tee time. The starter moved up two kids in front of us and told them to catch up to the group in front of them to be a foursome. They played two the whole time. We were backed up 4 groups deep for like 4 holes. Fairways were dry and fast, greens not in bad shape. I’ll admit this little local course is trying but still some challenges.

I know Settler’s brought in a new golf superintendent last year and you can see the difference he’s making with the overall conditions of the course. Let’s be real, this was more of a cow pasture than a golf course the past few years - but no longer. While it’s going to take a bit to bring this hidden gem back to glory, the stage has been set. Greens are running fast and true and are in great shape. Fairways are striped and looking better than they have in a long time. The bunkers are all maintained (except for those players that still don’t realize what the rake is for) by the grounds crew. If you swore this course off a couple years back - give it another go.

Not maintained as well as it should be. If this course was taken care of, would get higher price for play. Seems like renovations stopped , maybe ran out of money - too bad.

just played the newly designed settlers hill and thought they are doing a great job on getting it back in playing shape and liked the new hole layout .greens were very fast, even with all the rain we've been having lately which mae for some interesting putting . I think that's a good thing .
