Would not recommend.

Firstly, the staff was friendly and courteous. This course was terrible for the price. The layout is ridiculous. The fact that I didn’t get hit with a ball is crazy. Poorly maintained. Some of the tee boxes looked like the rough. Greens were patchy. Several greens were severely sloped. If I paid $25 to play here I’d be ok with it, but $56 is nuts.

Pretty good

Staff was friendly this go around. The pace of play was slow but it was because of struggling golfers in front of us taking a bunch of shots before hitting it up. We still got 18 in with a tee time between 4-5. The course is starting to look better as the rain slows and heat rises. The course is a shooting gallery. Watch out for balls coming your way. You'lll probably find some free balls. 😂 I'm sure I'll be back.

Hometown Course - Never Will Play Again

I have played Hilltop my entire life and it keeps getting worse. The most recent time I played HillTop allowed an eight-some to play nine holes after multiple calls to the clubhouse complaining. This caused our foursome front none to take four hours to complete and then on the back none the only adult ranger (course is managed by high school students mostly) had the audacity to asked us to pick up our pace of play. Not to mention at the same time the ranger drove passed a six-some playing the front nine and didn’t say anything. The course was in terrible shape and the workers here have zero clue how to run a golf course.

This course was an awful experience

Showed up 30 minutes before my tee time and still was not able to tee off until 20 minutes past my tee time due to the course being extremely backed up and the pro shop doing nothing about it. Tee boxes were a mess, often missing a marker, and random debris/man dug holes around the course

Very poor course

The course was extremely backed up. Had a 1:57 tee time and couldn’t tee off the first hole until 2:25, we ended up joining another group of 2 to try to help pacing but still had to wait at most holes. The tee boxes were barely maintained and most times missing a marker. Will never play this course again

Overall course layout is somewhat challengeable and especially greens are fast due to up down slopes. If the course conditions get a little more improved, I want to come back again.

Mostly fun course. Not great experience.

My group of 3 had a 4:12 tee time, and arrived at 3:45. When checking in this man with spikey hair and a visor was high strung and kept telling us not to be late because there was a league behind us. We were literally there 27 minutes early. If that stresses them out, maybe don't have tee times so close to league start times. The ranger was great. The play was a little slow but expected early in the season. It's a challenging but fun course. The course layout is tight so it's a shooting gallery. On the 17th hole tee box 2 cocky kids that were someone's family and friend that worked there came up and asked to play through because he was going to "hit a hole in one". We said no because we were already on the green. Once we drove down to finish the hole the kid hits at us screaming fore. It was frustrating and someone needs to learn some course etiquette.

Great Course, but needs some cleaning up

I have been to this course multiple times, and always have a great time. But since all the storms that happened months prior, the trees were in the middle of certain car paths.

Winter golf at its finest

Really happy with a February round. Course was in fine shape all considering. Hole 8 was frozen still because of how much shade it has, but was kinda fun. Greens a little furry, but again, nothing you can really do there.

Price was a little steep, but also only course that had full range carts, so almost worth the upcharge.

Typically, pace of play was iffy, but just happy to play golf in Feb.

Staff is always awesome!

Def a 4 star this time of the year
