I come here all the time. My game is improving and soon is like to buy a membership at this great golf course. I wish the twilight pass had a few other time slots you could select. Great local course, I recommend it for all skill levels.

Worst Pace of Play I’ve Ever Seen
DO NOT EVER PLAY THIS GOLF COURSE IF YOU CARE ABOUT PACE OF PLAY.
This course has a pretty good layout and is decently maintained, but it’s the worst-managed course in terms of pace of play that I’ve ever seen.
Last year, I played 18 holes, and after a 2 1/2-hour front nine, my foursome got to the 10th hole to find a six-some of women in front of us. When we complained, management told us it was the owner’s wife, and it was ok because they were playing a scramble and would let us play through if we “caught up to them.”
They had no one in front of them, and we waited for them on every tee box, resulting in a nearly 3-hour back nine. They never let us play through.
I reluctantly went again this past Monday afternoon, thinking it couldn’t be as bad on a Monday afternoon in March. I was wrong.
Our tee time was at 2:42. We got to the first tee at 2:38 to find 5 groups in front of us. The starter did nothing to check tee times or encourage pace of play. Before we teed off, the starter just left the first tee and didn’t return.
We teed off 20 minutes late, and it took over an hour to play 3 holes.
Our front nine took nearly 3 hours with no ranger anywhere to be found.
This course could have legit potential, with a tough layout that makes you think and strategize your shots. But waiting 10 minutes between almost every shot makes it unbearable.
Hi, Jberenter. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Great piece of land, good conditions for March, great value, abysmal pace if play
Multiple slow singles and twosomes waiting at a tees together but not playing together, carrying in conversations when the fairway are open, and generally being oblivious to pace a play. Saw 1 ranger who made no effort to combine groups and educate them about a good place.
This is an great piece of land, a fun and interesting course, and a fair value. I'd play here regularly if the pace was reasonable. 3 hours for 9 holes is unacceptable. I usually walk 9 in under 1.5. I won't play here again unless I'm going off very early or the course is empty. Get a few rangers, educate the clients about proper pace, and you'll get more volume through easily paying for the extra rangers.
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round.

New owners are really trying!
(Note: in my book very few courses deserve 5 stars)
I gave up on Hilltop a couple of years ago. It was becoming a goat pasture. A beautiful goat pasture, mind you, but less and less playable. Former owners didn’t maintain the tee boxes...the greens were beaten to death and being taken over by brown patchy fungus...trash everywhere...no ranger...and worst of all they weren’t trimming the trees, which made play incredibly frustrating. You almost couldn’t see the course for all the tree branches overhanging the fairways. Nobody I know is good enough to thread the needle on every shot. And nobody wants to walk through litter ridden, overgrown wilderness to get from green to tee. Hilltop is such a beautiful piece of property! It really was a shame.
Yesterday’s experience was so much better! Tee boxes are being overhauled. Weird swampy patches are being replaced with playable ground. The greens are at winter shag length (as they’re supposed to be in winter) but are in great shape. Steve the ranger was terrific! Trash cans are being emptied on the regular. And TREES ARE BEING TRIMMED, DEAD WOOD HAULED OUT, AND OVERGROWN AREAS THINNED OUT! To me, that’s huge!
Play Hilltop! And when you do, help them out: pick up your trash, replace your divots (it takes 15 seconds), and repair your pitch marks on the greens (3 seconds). The new owners are investing in the place, trying to make it worth our time. With some cooperation and good golf etiquette from players, I can see Hilltop turning into a gem.
Hi, markphelps. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Hilltop Golf Course.
better than expected
it's not a 5 star course... nor is it a hidden gem or anything like that, but it's also a lot better than I was expecting and outperforms all the negative reviews.
it's early March, was clean, decent pace for the most part, I really enjoy the level changes.
My complaints are the little creeks seem to be 230-250 from the tee box, so they come in to play when you'd rather have them 200 and go over them.
Hello, u314160605277. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We're so glad that you enjoyed your round at Hilltop Golf Course. Please visit us again soon!
Course always in playable shape deep into winter
Hilltop is a good tough course with all the challenges of a Michigan course. With a touch of rain today it was a good 50 degree round with some factored wind. December usually gives a good weekend or 2 for a round at Hilltop,
Thank you for taking the time to review us, nunchuck10. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hilltop Golf Course thanks you!
Can’t wait til Summer!
Great course! Unfortunately for me my first time playing it was late in the season. It was really busy and the pace of play was really bad. The course however, is great !
