Description

Rochester's north-side municipal 18 features broad fairways framed by native rough and gentle elevation. Water and bunkering guard several doglegs, but the layout remains welcoming for a wide range of abilities. City programming keeps the tee sheet active with leagues, lessons, and junior golf. The greens are medium-sized with enough contour to reward smart positioning. Northern Hills is a classic, well-kept muni with ample practice space.

I play here all the time; for a muni course, it's very well kept. The price is reasonable, the pace of play is brisk and the pro-shop staff is always professional and friendly. The tree positions relative to the tee boxes make playing from different tees a genuinely different experience! Fun design elements like the large mound near the dog-leg on Hole 6 and the wall of trees lining the dogleg on Hole 14 make for interesting risk-reward scenarios. Great course.

Course was in amazing shape. Great staff. Tee boxes were great. Some holes don't have cart paths to the next hole, follow the map and you're good. It's a challenging course for my scratch golf a**. Had a blast.

Pleasant, not super busy golf course in NW Rochester. I didn't even know there was a course here prior to this round. The fairways and greens were well kept and the prices were very reasonable - $12 for my kid and $22 for me.

Well priced and well kept with good greens. No problems with this course at all - just prefer a course like Eastwood out of personal preference because of the style and aesthetics of the course. However, I prefer hitting out of the grass at this course as compared to Eastwood. Not quite as coarse. UPDATED TO 5 STARS: this has become my go to courses in Rochester. Other than some occasional puddles on the 1st, 2nd, and 6th holes - the course is arguably the most well maintained in the area. I really enjoy the front 9. Only complaint is having to walk around the new clubhouse construction and having to get back in my car to go to the driving range. The practice putting greens also don’t have any physical holes, just the sticks - something I really wish they would change. It’s hard to get a good feel for putting when there aren’t holes - I usually go to Eastwood to practice putting. Be sure to call ahead of time (even if you are a single), because the course can get booked up pretty easily at peak times when the weather is nice

This is a great public course. It's very well kept. My only complaint for first timers to the course is the that directions to tee boxes isn't obvious especially since some of the holes don't have cart paths.
