 Green Hills Golf Course is owned and
operated by the City of
Chillicothe. Joe Gilliland is our
Director of Golf. Joe and his family came to us
from nearby Ludlow, Missouri, and now reside in Chillicothe. The course superintendent, Gerry
Gabel, is a Chillicothe native.

GHGC has six full-time employees and
a number of seasonal
workers.
The profits from
each year's Improvement Tournament
help pay for
continued improvements to the course. Tournaments in recent years helped pay for the concrete
cart paths which now serve the entire course, on-course restroom facilities,
a vinyl fence around the perimeter of the course, and many other
improvements and course additions.
 The
entrance to the Green Hills Golf Course has been refurbished with new
gates, a new sign, a landscaping island, and approximately 1200 feet
of perimeter fencing after $15,000 was raised by the annual Course
Improvement Tournament held in June. The city contributed an
additional $3,000 for the project. The brick pillars that hold the
gates were built by Wayne Seifert, an area bricklayer who donated his
time; and his son, Toby, who works part-time at the golf course.

Through hotel packages with Chillicothe hotels and the short driving
distance from areas such as Kansas City, St. Joseph, Columbia, and Des Moines, Green Hills
Golf Course attracts approximately 5,000 visitors to Chillicothe annually.
Large groups from Iowa and Minnesota make annual trips
each spring to add a few extra weeks to their golf season.
Over the past four years,
the course has averaged over 5,000 out-of-county rounds per year. Over 2,000 of those
rounds come from out-of-state. During a normal winter, the Green Hills Golf Course
averages 20-40 golfers per weekend from the Des Moines, Iowa, area alone.Ken Lauhoff of the Friends of the Golf Course organization advises "We see
Green Hills Golf Course as not only a valuable asset to the recreational environment of
Chillicothe, but also a valuable tourism tool and a tremendous boost to the business
community."
