This wooded course is framed by spruce and birch trees lining its fairways, providing a picturesque setting. Although water hazards come into play on only two holes, the Hill Course presents a challenging yet forgiving round for golfers of all skill levels, including a "woman friendly" design with only one forced carry on the par-3 fourth hole.

It has been recognized by Golf Digest as the 4th "Best in State" course, solidifying its reputation as a premier Alaskan golf destination.
