What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Tot Hill Farm Golf Club is widely praised for its stunning Mike Strantz design, dramatic elevation changes, and pristine course conditions post-renovation. Golfers rave about the unique, artistic layout and the memorable playing experience, with many calling it a bucket-list destination. However, the elevated green fees are a point of contention for some, with a few finding the greens 'furry' despite the overall high quality.
"Tot Hill Magic. Im a Strantz fan and this place lived up to the hype for me. Great conditions, correct green speed, kudos to grounds crew. Had my first eagle 2 on my 40th birthday on the 17th hole from 94 yards out. Played the following day and groups around us were banging hole in ones. A crew from FSU holed out on 15 while we were on 13 tee, hearing and seeing them celebrate gave me chills. Then 30min later as I walked up to 16 green a dude with his girlfriend has his first hole in one on 13. It was surreal experiencing that kind of magic. The 8th green ate my lunch over the 2 days. Have to go back for redemption. Keep it up Tot Hill!"

"Played at Tot's Farm 25OCT25 with 9 of my buddies. All of us were flabbergasted at how beautiful this course is. Three of us played Pebble and other courses in Monterey this past April. Two of us stated that Tot's was better (as well as Tobacco Road) than Pebble/Spyglass/Spanish Bay. The other one is just stubborn. I felt like this course was designed as an art gallery that had golf as a side attraction. I can't tell you how many times I looked at a tee shot and said, "What the hell am I going to do here?". I loved every second of it. Greens, fairways, waste areas, bunkers, and tee boxes were in pristine shape. I have not one thing to say bad about this course. Not one. Staff were friendly and the hot dog at the turn was really good as well (not better than spicy dog at Tobacco). I highly recommend this course. I can't decide between it and Tobacco. But thankfully, I live close enough where I can take a weekend and play both. Which I plan to do. This course was just amazing. Wish I took more pictures."

"A fun, challenging, and scenic golf experience. I never played the course prior to the renovations when it was more affordable, but the price seemed fair given the extraordinary layout even if the conditions and upkeep weren’t on par with what I might expect if I paid the same to play a more “typical” course. Conditions were good, but certainly not pristine. I walked, which was a heck of schlep in the heat, but it is doable if that’s your thing. Staff were welcoming and friendly and thanked me for coming out. All in all an awesome day on the course!"
