LPGA International - Hills Course

Terrible conditions, like playing on a wet sponge

The course should have been closed, everything was terribly wet. Every tee shot stopped dead in the fairway, one shot landed and it took me ten minutes to find it as it buried itself. No ball wash stations so my clubs and balls were completely muddy the whole round as my towel was covered in dirt. My feet were soaked and it just wasn't worthwhile. A lot of the sand traps were underwater or the bottoms were hard sand from water. Thanks for taking my money, sometimes you just need to shutdown for a few days to let things dry out.

Great shape

Started out the lady in the pro shop was very friendly and happy to see me. The pace of play was excellent and the course was in excellent shape. I would return without hesitation.

Rough shape

When I pulled up and it looked like the clubhouse was not maintained out front, I knew I was in trouble. Very wet conditions and the fairways had been chewed up by whoever mowed them, lots of dead grass patches and shaved down spots. Plenty of dead spots on the greens.

Customer Service

This year I would again suggest a customer service training program for their clubhouse staff. The cart girl was very nice but the service inside the clubhouse needs improvement. You don't leave players standing there, not acknowledging them, because you are trying to sell sponsorship for a hole. At least acknowledge I am there and explain I will be with you in one minute.

Still horrible

Two late afternoons tournaments were booked without telling evening bookings. When is the last time it took 3.5 hours to play nine holes? Yep, and even though they said they were going to enforce rules, numerous people in t-shirts golfing. Tons of dead spots in the fairways. Again, a mediocre course trying to be a country club. Nice try, you still are horrible, thanks for my longest round ever.

Nice course

The course was in great shape with multi level grass. All was good except for some golfers. I was solo and was stuck behind three guys walking for around four holes until I finally got through and then I got stuck behind a twosome for the final twelve holes. I even met them on multiple tee boxes and they wouldn't let me go around. Some golfers have no courtesy.

Bad clientele

Figured I would try later on a Saturday to avoid the hackers and smackers. Yep, two drunks in a cart, who the cart girl kept serving, who we were stuck behind and we were walking. We caught up to them on hole four and was stuck behind them the rest of the way. Then on ten, I had a phenomenal drive, around 240 yards which rolled up on them. So what did they do, steal my ball after we waited behind them all round. Done with this place. Keep your reserved board member parking spaces and let the course get run down with idiots like this.

A farm field trying to be an elite course

The first thing you notice is the amount of reserved parking spaces for the pro, board members and "champions". Elitist activity in my opinion. Then the course is poorly maintained, lots of dead spots and the greens are worse than opening week. I was stuck behind a group of five ladies who nobody would break up because they were members, Wasted around one hour following them hack around. Spend your money elsewhere, no diversity or junior players at this place, it will die with it's aging membership.

Stay away, not a golf course

Horrible cow pasture that is filled with weeds and holes. The greens are nothing but grass mowed really short. You putt and the ball jumps all over the place. Any true golfer will not play here. This is not a golf course.

Nice course, good views and layout

I really enjoyed the layout of the course. The greens were EXTREMELY tough to putt, you touch the ball and it travels 20 feet. I don't like PGA style greens as an amateur golfer. The staff were nice enough and the free hotdog was really good. While I was checking in, one staff member walked up to the staff member assisting me and starting to talk to him then asked him to ring up a chocolate bar. All while I was trying to be helped. I thought that a little rude but it really didn't affect me or my attitude of the course. It was slow, but it was also a busy course. The amount of people playing shows the calibre of the course.

Great place for a round worth the drive

Challenging course with a nice layout. Enough water to challenge you but keep it fair. It is about an hour from Kissimmee (traffic) but I would recommend trying it out.

Nice little course

It is a well laid out, challenging course. I am lucky as I play in the afternoon and the crowd is quite light so I am usually down in two hours (solo). Not a lot of damage after Hurricane Irma, in good shape beside a few damaged bridges. I would recommend playing it.

Tough course, not for amateurs like me

It is a very long course from the whites with a lot of water on the front. You need to be very accurate. There are also a large of large trees close to tee off boxes on the ninth which again, you have to be accurate. One of the holes on the front, you have to carry a large swamp around two hundred yards and land it in a very small area. Way too tough for a par four. And you can't lay up short, it is very deep and rough. Overall, the amount of water on the course wasn't the fault of the course, but the front of most greens was super wet and I usually hit in the front and like to roll up. I tried to adjust and hit the greens but the greens were hard and my ball headed over usually. I was very frustrated as an amateur but I think a seasoned player would enjoy the challenge. The check-in person was very friendly and helpful.

Great Course

Worth the drive since it is a little distance from Kissimmee and Orlando. I love the layout of the course and it always seems to be in very good condition. I can only say play and see for yourself, I really enjoy it, in great shape with enough water and white sand bunkers to challenge you.

Way too wet

The course shouldn't have even opened. I lost balls in the middle of the fairway as they dug deep into the ground due to the wetness. And where it was really wet they didn't mow so I lost balls just off the fairway as well.

Shut it down when it is that wet.

Slow tournament

I showed up and watched a group of four hit the ball around 20 yards each. I was told there was a restaurant tournament going on. There were also two girls just stopped about half way down the first fairway, just sitting there. Two guys came out of the restaurant with beers and then headed out to meet them. So a ridiculous delay. Then the next group (first guy hit 10 yards) and there were still two groups in front of me, I was playing solo. I looked at the tenth hole, not a person around. I asked if I could play the back nine first. The starter said talk to the guy inside. The guy inside said no. I said there is nobody there, he still wouldn't let me play in reverse. I left as it would have taken around five or six hours at that pace. I did get a rain check but would have preferred to play. Poor staff decisions. Not sure if I will go back if this is how they run the course.

Nice layout with some winter kill

I think once the rains come and the grass has a chance to recover, it will be a good summer opportunity. Nice layout with challenging holes for the average golfer.

Great Place to go

Very friendly staff, I played in the afternoon and was finished in just over two hours. The ground was a little rough in spots, but for the money and the timing, it was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to play there again.

No issues

If you want to play close to Kissimmee on a maintained course, I would recommend Kissimmee Golf Club. I was paired up into a foursome which made the game better for me as I had someone to chat with during the game. Good location and good value for the dollar.
