Well of course you can tell by the name, it's very hilling and steep in some points. It had rained the night before and we had to walk. There was no "cart path only" due to them not having any marshals on the course. It's a unique short course only playing 6500 from the tips which weren't open. Defiantly worth giving it a try if you're a beginner or intermediate, strong players will easily overpower it.

Drainage

The condition of the course was poor because it rain the day before and the drainage in this course is poor. Other than that it is a good course.

Great bones. Would love to see it in summer.

Snuck in an early March round at Galloping Hills. Even at this time of year with top dressed greens you could see how the course would be a bear in mid-summer. The ‘Hills’ are in play on most holes with 25+ uphill climbs on 4 so there is some home field advantage. Jump on any June tee time as the high grasses will frame most holes to add to the challenge.

Top tier public facility

As a flagship public golf course Galloping Hill is the complete package. From expansive practice facilities to a supplemental 9 hole learning course it has every golf amenity checked off. The main course's 18 holes are varied and challenging. From tight landing zones, severe elevation changes, water hazards and doglegs all challenges are represented. The course conditions are fair and well kept. That being said the price is in the premium public range and the course can get busy. Expect average pace at best and don't be surprised by long waits.

Excellent Course

Despite lots of soft & muddy spots and chewed up spots, especially on back nine, and crazy weather changes all day, enjoyed this course & looking forward to playing there again.

Course Review

I would like to have the opportunity to play this course again because when I played last Sunday the weather conditions were terrible. It was raining and cold the entire time, so if there is any chance ai could get a rain check that would be incredible. Only got to play 5 holes which I couldn’t even enjoy. I would like to play in the near future the entire course because I really liked the layout. Here is my number if you will give me the opportunity to play again.
