What the club says: From the white tees the course at Hillside measures just over 7,000 yards meandering through majestic sandhills and tranquil pinewoods. From the blue tees the course is a more manageable 6,558 yards. Many of the holes have elevated tees with fantastic views over the Irish Sea.

Of all the top quality courses in and around Southport, Hillside is top of the tree for me.

From the welcoming members, the staff and the golf course it’s a joy to play and return time and time again.

The course was in excellent condition, with lush greens, well maintained tees, and pristine fairways. The layout is challenging, but rewarding. The facilities are excellent, and the course is truly a pleasure to the eye. It's the most prestigious course I've ever played and I would highly recommend it.

As Good As It Gets

Visited here a few years ago for the British Masters and fell in love with it straight away.
An absolutely stunning layout from start to finish and they've even made a few improvements since then.
Every shot has you thinking. Bunkers well positioned and of the highest quality you're likely to see, thankfully I only visited one. Greens were amazing and very very tricky. The views when playing the course are at times simply breathtaking??I could have taken so many pictures?.
Great facilities including a grass range. Food was gorgeous and the drinks were very well priced.
It's one ticked off on my bucket list of courses but also one I will endeavour to play again.
Definitely worth the visit for any golfer. Easy to get to by road or rail too.

Love this course -a touch of class

Read so many of the reviews Birkdale v Hillside and all 3 of us agreed.....Hillside pips its neighbour, and yo can see wh DP World is bringing the European tour here. It is more attractive, more trees to frame the holes (just love that on 7,8,10,11) -it is such a feature of the area (like at Formby too). The way the flower beds around the opening hole, and gorse bushes (esp on 15th) are used has you reaching for your camera.

We squeezed in on the last day of the winter rate at £130....well worth it having played Birkdale the day before for £185.

The wind was up on this our 2nd day which made a tighter course than Birkdale all the more challenging. None of us are bad players but we all had some big misses off the tee with balls lost on the wind.

There are so many stand out holes at Hillside. I judge a course by the number of unique holes and Hillside has so many and so varied too. Everyone raves about the back 9 and I agree there are no weak/ordinary holes but even the front nine is right up there. I think 8 is my favourite hole on the course.

I played in January off temp tees, but we decided to take on the blue this time. I'd recommend it as some of the the tee shots are just stunning being that little bit further back.

Again the practice area is well worth a use for 30 mins before your round with free balls.

We used the catering and recommend the sausages....and full breakfast (£10) so good value for a beautiful club house. It can't be bad as Alan Hansen was sat at the table beside us tucking into a club sandwich before his round. Alan did the voice over for the course video. And the fact he is a regular says it all..........and testament to the friendliness he even said 'hello' to our party as we got our gear ready in the car park recognising that we were visitors!

A touch of class - like the golf club. We're defo coming back!!

Finally, on the Hillside v Birkdale. Hillside course wins for us but the hospitality/friendliness of Birkdale wins. The Hillside pros are very nice guys (9 out of 10), but the Birkdale welcome is exceptional and they even get one of the marshals to guide us to the practice facility (11/10!)

Brilliant course next to Royal Birkdale. Beautiful fairways to hit off but rough very penal. Lucky 40mph winds had dropped to 20mph when we teed off but still testing, greens can catch you out too.

Played the course many times, always in fabulous conditions, the layout is exceptional with no weaker holes on the entire course. The back 9 is unbelievable.
The club oooozes quality and class, friendly welcome, immaculate facilities what a place.

Having played over 650 courses now worldwide this is at the top of the list, without doubt for me above any other course ion the area
