Hillside did not disappoint one bit. After a couple of failed attempts last year, I finally got the chance to get up to the North West and have a spin on Hillside GC in a 4 man team event. 

The anticipation was at fever pitch with many people dubbing Hillside as their elected favourite in the area. And with the richness in quality Liverpool has to offer, that is a huge statement. 

And I was happy to be able to play both venues back to back and form a pretty accurate comparison. And the result is…… I don’t really know! They are both exceptional in their own right and are must plays for anyone if you’re in the area. 

Hillside is a very apt name. The land movement and routing around it is incredible. One of the most easy on the eye venues I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It has everything; great driving holes, some incredible par threes, and one of the best par 5 you’ll play anywhere in the world!

On the day we didn’t score the best due to our putters being freezing cold, but it’s hard to complain about anything when playing these sort of courses. So much so, I’m exploring country member options in the area and already planning another trip for later in the year, whose coming with me? 

Northwest England is the best golfing location in England hands down, and you can’t change my mind. Mecca in fact!
