Hillside golf Club was founded in 1911, taking its name from its location at Hillside Farm. It is thought that 1912 saw the first full season for the club, though the first definitive evidence is a membership card from the season April 1913 to 1914. The first major change to the course took place in 1923 when new land was leased from the Weld Blundell estate to construct a new 18 hole course.

The most radical change to the course was started in 1956 with the appointment of Fred Hawtree as course architect. His plans were finally realised in 1967 with the opening of the new improved course.

From the white tees the course at Hillside measures just over 7,000 yards meandering through majestic sandhills and tranquil pinewoods. From the blue tees the course is a more manageable 6,558 yards. Many of the holes have elevated tees with fantastic views over the Irish Sea.

After playing the course, Greg Norman wrote to the Club saying that "The back nine were the best in Britain", while Jack Nicklaus described the course as "A wild looking links".

Alan Hansen, the former Liverpool and Scotland defender and a low handicap golfer, puts Hillside alongside Augusta National as his favourite course in the world. “I can’t think of a better course,” he said. “I might be biased, being a member, but it really is a fantastic lay-out and its back nine is second to none. “I don’t play golf for fun,” he added, “I’m too competitive for that. Hillside really is a stern test and I love that.”

Hole 11: 508 Yards, Par 5

This 500-yard plus par-5 requires a precise drive up the left, with anything to the right likely to fall into a well-placed fairway bunker. With its elevated tee that provides stunning views over Birkdale and the surrounding area, this hole is ranked in the top-500 in the world
