Too narrow.

Too many blind landing areas with no idea where the hole is. No rough at sides of fairways, just swamp. Too much target golf. If you play, you're better off hitting irons to the 150 pole, unless your drives are dead straight. Oh and after the turn a "member" threesome squeezed in ahead of us making for a slower back nine.

Slower than average play for Friday Morning

Nice layout. Could water less and spend the money saved on improving the condition of the greens. 75% of the greens were dried out and seemed diseased. Played slow and never saw a course ranger.

Just wondering, was it wet or dry...you mentioned both.?.? And, are you a superintendent of grounds somewhere? Not many people know how to identify diseased greens. But we appreciate you telling the world you think so.

Super wet, but good deal

Played early morning and the course was super wet. Puddles around all sprinkler heads or low spots in the course. Felt like I was playing during a rain storm. Slow playing, even early morning. I think due to some tight holes with blind shots over hills. Even in the fairway, not sure which hill you went over. Might benefit by switching to 10 minute tee times instead of 8 minutes.

A little slow for a Monday morning

Nice course. Played here a few times in the past, as recent as 3 days ago. Played pretty slow this morning. Front nine went OK. Started waiting on hole # 7. Back nine was a lot slower than usual. Looked to be a foursome two groups ahead of us. They seemed to get slower as the round went on and the temp rose. I know Hilldale has had the rap of slow play in the past by a certain type of golfer and that appeared to be the case today. Slower than expected for 9:00 on a Monday morning. Also was surprised that they let non playing young children ride along with their Mothers.

Great municipal course

Would have given it higher ranking if they weren't currently aerating the greens. Price break because of it. Had I known, I probably would have booked elsewhere on a 80 degree October day. Notice on GolfNow would have been helpful.

Challenging, yet fair layout.

Fun course to play. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens were hard and fast though. Multiple tee box options. The only negative were the "regulars", or members I suppose, who jumped in on the back nine in front and behind our group on and we're pushing us even though we had slow play ahead of us. Played the front nine in 1:45 and the back nine in 2:30. Big disparity. Saw Ranger periodically on the front, didn't see him on the back. The course also didn't have any lunch options at the turn other than chips and candy bars.

Frustrated

Booked a 9:12 tee time. Didn't get off until 9:30 because of slow play of the outing scheduled before us. Took over 4 hours to play 13 holes before we were overtaken by a shotgun start by another outing. Never had a chance to finish the round. Demanded and got a full refund. Suggestion: Don't sell the tee times if a massive outing is taking over the course in the afternoon or have the rangers speed up pace of play.

Must play early morning

If you play this challenging course, play it early in the day before the "regulars" (members), come out. I played at 7:15 - 7:30 on Monday and Thursday mornings and finished in 31/2 - 4 hours. On Tuesday, I played at 8:30 behind members and it took nearly 5 hours. Every hole was a wait, with no offer at any time to play though. We were even told at one time to sit back and relax there was no reason to rush. One or two in group ahead of us were even playing two balls on almost every hole. Another member of the same group seemed to be more interested in finding balls in the water than keeping pace. The course was fun, just frustratingly slow behind the members.
