I have not played this course since Highschool back in Mid 80's. Due to drought(not fault of course crew) the fairways were rough. However, the Greens were of highest quality I have ever played on. Kind of Greens you would see on $200.00 course back in Texas. I just wish I could take some of those Greens with me to putt on at every course. The Greenskeeper has exceeded himself with those greens.

A fun local track! Greens were in great condition and rolled very true. The blue tees for the second nine were a hoot!

We went here to eat at the Grub’n Monkey. It was decent. The menu options were pretty limited but the prices were reasonable, the serving sizes were generous and the flavor was excellent. I would consider this to be more like bar food rather than a family restaurant. The facility was a bit run down. There were several fruit flies buzzing around us while we were eating which is always a turn off for me at restaurants.

I do not like to give 1 star reviews unless it is very much warranted, and I feel like it is in this case. I honestly couldn't care less about the condition of the course. Sure, it's pretty rough. The tee boxes are wrecked and the fairways are all but nonexistent, but I go out golfing to have fun, not to rant about the course conditions. Today my brother and I decided to take a friend out for his first time golfing. The three of us made it through our first 9 holes and yes, it took a good long while. We let several groups play through in front of us because we knew we were taking a long time with a new golfer.
However, when the staff hunted us down, accused us of being drunk and lying about how many times we've played through, that's simply a shameful display of abysmal customer service. I do not care if you've "never in your years seen people take that long to play through a course". If you have an issue, stop and ask. Last I checked, you don't have a time limit on the course and we were teaching someone new the play of the game. We did nothing to damage the course, disrupt anyone else's play, and we did all we could to ensure folks behind us played through so we didn't hold them up.
Way to push the stereotype about golfers being stuck up pissants. Great job insulting someone who's never played golf before to their face. You should feel absolutely ashamed of the way you approached the situation. Yall did just a bang-up job to introduce a new golfer to the sport.

I played it on a beautiful fall Friday and just happened to have the entire course to myself. I love old school golf courses and Hillsboro Elks certainly fits the bill. It's a fun little track with some elevation changes.
