Took advantage of a Donovan Daily special on 7/31/17 and hit first tee at approximately 11:00 as a single (Blues/6708/72.6/131). I really enjoy the layout at Western Hills as no two holes are the same. They have dog leg right & left, uphill & downhill approaches to greens, and some fairways are tighter than others. I also like the fact that there aren't any houses right on the course. It was maintenance day Monday and there were a ton of workers buzzing around, but all were aware and would stop what they were doing as you hit you're shot. I also liked the fact that the course did not seem to "stuffy" as with most CC's. I even had 3 groups of walking members wave me through. Course conditions were pretty good overall even considering the heat that always takes its toll this time of year. As others have mentioned, the greens are truly the highlight at Western Hills, I'd even go out on a limb and say top one or two in the IE. They held all shots even a hybrid that rolled out approx 5'-6' and are quick (maybe 11-12 on the stimp). There is some course knowledge that comes into play regarding reading the greens. They offer free range balls, real nice practice putting green, and a nice chipping area that even has a couple sand traps. If you ever have the chance to play Western Hills CC, jump on it as you wont be disappointed.
