The Hills began its journey organically when Sir Michael and Christine Hill fell in love with the Arrowtown area during a holiday in the 80’s. They purchased a few acres of farmland on McEntryes Hill to establish their home. Over the next three decades, they gradually acquired surrounding farmland. Sir Michael was always drawn to the perpetual challenge of golf, so he built a putting green in his front garden and then expanded it with tees and bunkers to form several par three holes.

Over the years, The Hills grew to 18 holes, including a clubhouse and membership. Not stopping there, the Hill family purchased large-scale sculptures, transforming the property into an open-air gallery. From its humble beginnings as a small par three course, The Hills has evolved into a renowned championship golf course with a thriving membership in the beautiful Arrowtown, Queenstown, New Zealand.
