This course has two dissimilar nines where the front nine is flat, the back nine is a veritable rollercoaster ride with shades of Ballybunion. Glorious dunes and panoramic views of the coast make it a spectacular experience.
Hillside links shares the very same turf as Royal Birkdale and in both cases its extremely difficult to put one above the other.
Greg Norman has said “as great a respect I have for Royal Birkdale, I actually think Hillside is better. You are totally surrounded by beauty when you begin playing on those enormous dunes. Hillside can be breathtaking”. If you’re unsure, play both.
