A spot in the green next to the pin on a hole stopped me from getting a birdie besides that good course

Too Slow, only played 9

I'm not sure why Hilltop posted 18 holes and let others go out in front of us. Booked 4 golfers for a 5:23 pm tee time for 18 and a cart through Golfnow. At hole #1 there was 3-4 groups (2 part of a league) ahead of us at our tee time and no starter. We didn't get off until well after 6:15. The play was very slow and didn't finish the first 9 until around 9:30 pm. When asked for a rain check for 9 holes I was told they can only give a rain check for a dollar amount. Staff was very nice but the policy of only refunding a dollar amount made me argue for more money than they wanted to give me. Hopefully the money will cover 9 holes and a cart at regular prices. The course is very nice and I hope this was only a one time issue.

Short but tight

Lacking in yardage you do need to beware of needing good placement and length with assorted water hazzards and tight narrow fairways / doglegs. Frustrating lack of decent yardage information did not help and the course was backed up the whole round which made it really slow.

Great but Tough Course

I had a great time playing this course! The staff was extremely friendly and the grass was well maintained. It was definitely a challenge though, with the swampy hazards and sloping greens. Nonetheless, the holes were diverse enough to keep me interested and the challenges kept me thinking about every shot.

not fun

Got to course which when booked was told I would owe $80 for 4 players, they said we owe $92. When asked why they said the price shown on golfnow was for seniors which was not displayed online. Cart girl was extremely rude and pace was super slow. Course condition was fair but not great and golf carts are very old and so slow that you might not make it up the hill. Overall I would not recommend this course.

Ridiculously Slow

Great day for golf. Paid for 18, only played 9. Pace of play in excess of 6 hours for 18 holes. No ranger present on front 9. 1st hole backed up 4 foursomes when I arrived. At hole 10, same 4 foursomes in front, so we decided enough was enough. No one in club house when I went back inside to inquire about a rain check due to slow play. Wasted my money.

Great course design

Challenging greens and narrow fairways made for a great round. Play was a little slow but that is on the players not the course. Great staff, very friendly. Would definitely play again.

Pace

The pace of play was terrible. We played 9 holes in 2.5 hours. Super slow for an easy short course. We like the course but I think they let out too many twosomes and there were quite a bit of young players out there but without supervision. I am all for young players out there but not in carts without supervision.

Good is average, price is fair, BUT VERY SLOW PLAY

Management needs to do a better job by pairing up everyone to foursomes on weekends and holidays and they need rangers on the course to speed up play !!!!

This course has no hospitality.

Course condition is decent. Drink cart availability seems spotty, but not sure. For sure, nothing but hot dogs ready at the turn. Hamburgers are discouraged because they are still frozen and not ready to be cooked. Staff could not care less and make you wait for 30 min while it defrosts. Immature staff to blame.

Wish there was better irrigation

I've played Hilltop a number of times. Enjoy the track. Nice and challenging. Fun elevation changes. After a week of moderate rain, the course was in really rough shape. Lots of standing water, lots of mud. About 5 plugged balls between the two of us playing. Frustrating hitting a driver down the fairway and not being able to find the ball. Still had fun though.

Grumpy staff doesn't like beginners like me

I played here with a couple of friends. None of us are good. The place wasn't at all busy but about 2 or 3 times during our round there were some grumpy staff members who would pull up beside us at the tee box and tell us we were being too slow. I think only one group caught up to us and we let them pass through. I wouldn't go back but the scenery was nice and if you're not as bad as I am then you would like it better.

Good but needs better yardage markers

I was looking to get a birthday celebratory round of golf for a buddy in the South/Western part of Metro Detroit who hails from the Westland/Canton area.

Hilltop had some convenient early morning tee times available which I locked in and the rates were $25/round including cart compared to other courses nearby charging $40+.

This was our first time playing there and the score card had very minimal information on it regarding flag/pin placement as well as yardage marker locations.

We were constantly searching for markers and/or guessing our yardage throughout the round which was frustrating and the rough seemed a little high near the fairway.

The staff was friendly but like many golf courses could have used some portable bathrooms and water stations at more holes.

Overall score 2/10

This course was in bad shape. They need serious attention to the tee boxes and a hand full of the greens. About 3 summers ago I played here and it was night and day. I asked a staff member and they told me it was under new management. This kinda explains some of the stuff. I'd never pay to golf here EVER again.
