Can we play it?
Yes. Hillside publishes midweek and weekend visitor rates for 2027. The course is closed for maintenance from 19 October 2026 to mid-March 2027. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.
Access
Midweek and Saturday/Sunday visitor rates published for March–October 2027. Closed to visitors for winter maintenance 19 October 2026 to mid-March 2027.
The catch
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures the booking (it can move to another date), with the balance due one month before play.
Our tip
Pair it with Royal Birkdale next door. Request caddies ahead of time, and don't tee off when a train is approaching.
