Opened in 1992, Songbird Hills Golf Club began as the dream of longtime Hartland resident, Hal Hoffman. He started designing the course more than 20 years before construction began in 1990, before he even owned the land. Hoffman persevered and eventually established the course that exists today. There have been some improvements over the years, including redesigning the 17th green and putting in an additional water hazard on the 13th, but overall, Hoffman's classic layout hasn't changed much. The golf course's design takes advantage of the rolling terrain and sparkling ponds. The undulating nature of the terrain gives each hole a unique look and different set of challenges. Songbird Hills Golf Club will give you a fair test, but beginners can still feel confident when approaching the course. As its name would imply, numerous songbirds call the area home. Bluebird houses even serve as the 150-yard markers.

Nice course, terrible layout

Course layout is the worst I think I’ve ever played. Crammed a 18 hole course in a relatively small area. Constantly in jeopardy of getting blasted by another tee shot. Greens butted up right next to another green. Good course for a casual golfer. Very forgiving straight fairways. Nice greens with moderate difficulty. Was kept up well especially with it being late September golf. Only downside is the layout.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful layout. Fun, challenging if not very long. Course was in fantastic shape. Fairways were green and short, greens were fast but very receptive. Only real drawback to the day was they really packed 'em in. Pace of play was slow. Our foursome wasn't rushing and we kept having to wait for the foursome in front of us. Several holes have fairways that slope down and make it tough to know where the group in front of you is. People don't always ring the bell to let you know it's clear. Need to space groups out more. Otherwise it was a highly enjoyable round of golf on a beautiful early-fall day.

Worth a visit

Songbird is a great course to play in the fall. It's in great shape and will challenge all levels of play. Looking forward to playing it again before the snow comes.

Let's go again

First time ever at Songbird Hills and have to say both myself and my playing partner were very pleased. Lots of twists and turns as well as some bunkers and rolling greens to keep you thinking. Condition was great and this is a very scenic and nicely decorated course, really impressed with that part of it.
It was a little weird at the "turn" as we had some difficulty finding the 10th tee, not the standard or "usual" change over from front to back that I have become used to. Maybe some additional or different signage might help someone new to the course.
All said and done, we both agreed that we will definitely go back and have already booked that round.
