The phrase “golf & so much more” perfectly describes what you’ll experience at Terrace Hills Golf Course. After all, it’s definitely not just a golf course. It’s…well…so much more than that.
In some ways, Terrace Hills is similar to Altoona’s many public parks. It’s fun, relaxing, and brings people together in the outdoors. But at times, it also feels like a community center, a restaurant, or maybe even a banquet hall.
It’s so many things at once.
Terrace Hills is Altoona’s “little-bit-of-everything”, “do-it-all” recreation amenity. It’s affordable, inclusive, and built to provide year-round entertainment for our entire community. (Yup, that means indoors AND outdoors.) No matter who you are or what you’re into—excitement awaits you here. Explore the fun!
