Copper Hills Golf Club - Hill Course

Course is odd. Poor layout. Too many blind tee shots and blind approaches, sometimes both on the same hole. Two of par 5's are strange. Too many forced carries. Confusing cart traffic, some holes over 300 yards green to next tee box. Poor driving range over 500 yards from clubhouse. Crummy clubhouse. Not worth playing regardless of price. Well maintained but no fun to play, especially for seniors and anyone above a 10 handicap. Course has no identity, tries be be links, parkland and resort all at the sam time.

Nice people, tee boxes are so so, fairways and greens are nicely kept. NOT a course a woman wants to play. bO Bathrooms other than at the clubhouse!!! My wife was busting a gut! Also, the Marsh was absolutely terribly marked. The book they give you says to aim for or stay left of the 150 marker, nor a 100 yard one. NO 150 pole to see. Found a small white block about 8”x8”. Can’t see that from a tee! No GPS available on the Marsh! Played by blind. The Hills course had GPS and markers but had th play the Marsh basically blind. First time there and when we complained to the starters they said there was ports potties last year but none this year and that they’ve heard of gps problems with garmin but I have a new bushnell watch and it showed but the yardages were not even close. A 570 yard par 3??? I don’t think so. Won’t be back under these conditions.

It would of been nice to see a beverage cart out there.
Sand traps need work.

Challenging but fun. Beautiful course and a decent amount of shade on the hot days.

The course is very challenging with a lot of forest and water hazards but that’s what makes it great.

I'll start with the good:
Beautiful
Staff is very welcoming

The main problems come from the course design and conditions. It has no idea what it is trying to be. Imagine everything that brings a challenge to a golf course and infuse them all together. This place has tiny fairways, long rough, weird lies, elevation, long forced carries, blind tee shots and finally atrociously bad greens/tee boxes. Oh and if you head into the trees your ball is gone (unless you want to get hurt going after it). This isn't a US open qualifier. This is a course that always has tee times open because people are probably trying to avoid losing tons of balls. My suggestion is that it become a little bit more playable for a high handicapper by losing some of the things mentioned above. Maybe the lawn mowers are broken I don't know......

Tee boxes need some help. Not cut down. Worst part was greens were left quite long. Not sure if it was because of heat. Usually much better. Big line up trying to get checked in. I think some overslept.
Nice new carts..
