Chalet Hills Golf Course
Known for its demanding layout, Chalet Hills Golf Club offers a par-73 experience that makes full use of rolling terrain, natural hazards, and thoughtful course design. This public course stretches from just under 5,000 yards to nearly 6,900 yards, with three par 5 holes on the back nine that add both challenge and variety. Since opening in 1995, the course—designed by Ken Killian and Michael J. Benkusky—has seen ongoing enhancements, including a major bunker upgrade completed in 2020. Players enjoy bentgrass fairways and greens, winding doglegs, scenic ponds, and stands of mature trees throughout the course. Chalet Hills also features comprehensive practice options, including a driving range and dedicated short-game and chipping areas. When the weather turns cold, golfers can continue to play or practice indoors using on-site simulators. The clubhouse rounds out the experience with a pro shop and a full-service restaurant and bar, open for lunch and dinner and offering expansive views of the course and surrounding landscape.
