Originally established in 1911, the course was transformed by renowned architect Fred Hawtree in the 1960s before receiving thoughtful enhancements from Mackenzie & Ebert. The result is a beautifully balanced layout, featuring a classic links-style opening nine and a dramatic, dune-filled closing stretch that has earned worldwide acclaim.

Often described as one of the greatest finishing stretches in British golf, Hillside's inward nine climbs into towering dunes with elevated tee shots, secluded valleys, and breathtaking views across the Irish Sea. Legendary golfers, including Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus, have praised the back nine as among the very best in the game.
