Track your handicap and enjoy golf in Sidney, Nebraska. Download now! Hillside Golf Course winds over and around the bluffs of south Sidney. The hillside holes have narrow rolling fairways full of dips and undulations. The holes that lie between the bluffs have long, narrow fairways that are bound by the bases of the bluffs. The creatively designed front nine was added in ’93. It uses the lay of the land to create some wonderfully challenging and scenic holes. You tee off from the side of a bluff to the fairway 30 feet below on the first. You can secure your tee time by calling the Hillside Golf Shop at (308)254-2311. Located right next to the Hillside Golf Course is the Hillside Bar and Grill. It is there for a quick snack or your favorite alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hillside Golf at none against Swing Coach's 2. Hillside Golf also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Swing Coach's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 31). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
