Hillingdon is a nice 9 hole members club, the course is certainly not flat but it is not too hilly either. Undulating tree-lined fairway's and greens with some blind approaches make this course quite interesting to play.
The third hole is an interesting one at Hillingdon, not a long par 4 by any means, the green is very thin so if you are going to smack your tee shot to try and reach it then you will have to be very accurate, because you do not want to miss this green on either side. The fairway is also very thin so even an iron off the tee means it needs to be a straight one.
Why do you not want to miss the green?
Well, it is a raised green and very thin so if you miss it on either side you could find yourself chipping on, rolling straight across it and off the other side, something I managed to do twice in a row.
The only criticism of the course I can think of is that it is a bit short, you can easily get round without using your woods.
