The Championship Hilltop course is one for the true golfing enthusiast.

Featuring 18 holes amongst vast bushland beauty, this premier course is situated so that you can still hear the waves rolling in on the pristine Mollymook Beach. Hilltop is affectionately known as “The Ultimate Challenge” and is ranked 3rd in Australia’s Favourite Golf Courses for 2020, as voted by the public, in Golf Australia Magazine.

With meandering tree-lined fairways and undulating greens, Hilltop provides a stern test for any golfer, however, regardless of how your game is going, you’ll always enjoy the walk and serenity with an abundance of native flora and fauna.

At 6,225 metres from the championship tees, Hilltop is a challenge in terms of accuracy and distance on the fairways. The greens too pose a dramatic test being both large and undulating. Once on the putting surface there may still be a good deal of golf left. Designed in 1977 the course features water challenges from creeks and dams and moderate bunkering.

Paul Stevens

Paul Stevens is a speaker about Golf as the world,s longest serving caddie (53 years) to ALL the Legends and will talk about his experience on tour as well as answer impromptu questions.

Paul has toured around the world, met and worked for many top golfing legends. Even in retirement is still the longest serving tour caddie to date, amassing 35 years on the tour. There's two things Paul loves, Entertaining and Caddying.

Although he retired from the Tour as a caddie, he can look back on his career with pride, and historically say 'I was there!' when certain golfing feats were recorded, an example of many was, during the Ryder Cup at Muirfield 1973, against Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus Paul correctly overruled his player to select the club for the very first hole in one in Ryder Cup history. Paul has spent several years since retiring from the tour, entertaining and After-Dinner speaking at many functions at golf clubs and events. Giving interesting facts and funny situations from his experiences on the Golf Tour.

Paul began caddying at the age 12, at Rochdale Golf Club in, primarily as a weekend and summer holiday job to earn some spending money. Paul's talent as a singer soon took priority in his late teens, and the caddying would have to wait to re-emerge some years later when he was accompanying his cousin at a professional tournament.

One of the professionals had been let down by his caddie not showing for the events, and Paul was asked if he could accommodate the young professional. Paul informed the professional that he hadn't caddied for some time, but was willing to help. After the round the professional commented on how impressed he was with his ability as a caddie and asked ''when was the last time you caddied'', Paul replied ''twelve years ago'', that's where it all took off, the following year he was standing on the 18th green at royal Lytham St Anne’s, on the final round of the Open with the top two professionals in the field, Gary Player and Peter Oosterhuis.

Since then Paul has 15 tournament wins, and has 10 finishes in the top 15 of The Open Championship, including twice being runner-up, and has caddied in the Dunhill Cup, Kirin Cup and World Cup, as well as the Ryder Cup, in matches against the legendary Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer

He has caddied for such famous players as the legendary Sam Snead, Christy 0' Connor Snr., Ben Crenshaw U.S. Masters' Champion 1984 and 1995; Hubert Green U.S. Open Champion 1977; Bill Rogers Open Champion 1981, Curtis Strange U.S. Open Champion 1988 and 1989, Sandy Lyle Open Champion 1985 and U.S. Masters Champion 1988 and has won the Australian Open in 1984 with Tom Watson (3 times Open Champion, Masters and U.S. Open Champion at Royal Melbourne, one of the finest courses in the world.

He has been the regular caddy for Peter Oosterhuis in 1974, leading money winner and 2nd. in Open Championship; Greg Norman in 1979/80; Nick Faldo in 1986, and also for Mark McNulty,2nd. in the Open Championship 1990. with whom he has won 3 German Opens and the 1987 British Masters, which he also won again with Christy O'Connor Junior in 1992.
