About
Hillcrest Golf Club possesses a championship length course that offers a great variety of game options with five sets of tees. The course has a traditional design that features open fairways lined with trees, which put a premium on straight shots. The greens vary greatly with some that are relatively flat and medium sized and others that are quite large and dramatically sloped or multi-tiered. In addition to several sand bunkers, water hazards in the forms of lakes and ponds come into play. The signature hole is the par-5 13th, which has been touted by the Phoenix Gazette as being on of the best holes in the state. Hillcrest Golf Club not only has a dogleg around a lake, the hole requires an approach shot uphill to a green that is guarded by eight bunkers.

Staff
The staff that work this course are the friendliest guys ever! Absolutely makes it one of our favorite courses!
Greens were clocked at 12.5!
The name HILLcrest is not a play on words! Every pin is on a hill and the greens are extremely fast. My Arccos caddie didn't record most putts because I could barely touch the ball or go way past on every single green!
They were so overbooked we had to wait for carts for our 11:15 tee time. There was 3 groups waiting on the first tee at our start time. The Ranger was continuously coming around, sitting on us while we teed off, and directing us to speed up even though we were waiting on the group ahead of us to get out of shot range. We finished our round right at 4 hours 39 minutes so the rate of play was not slow by any mean on a course of this length. It is disruptive enough to the flow of play to hit and wait and hit and wait but to have the ranger also pressing us to hurry up more to wait longer only served to aggravate the play..
The course was challenging and fun but the overbooking and the ranger's inappropriate assertions into our game had an impact on our ability to play our best round. During the week is probably a better time to try this course.
great for the price
best course around for the price, but ill warn you greens are like lightning
Fast flipping greens
Had a fun day at Hillcrest today. Folks were friendly & pace of play was good. LOTS of water hazards including lakes & streams. My God the greens are easily the fastest I’ve ever played on... holy crap.... be ready for a little frustration. I’ll definitely be back... refusing to let this place get the best of me !!
Best shape I’ve seen it in a while...
But still needs plenty of work on the periphery. Tees, fairways, greens and even some of their traps were in pretty good shape. That being said the greens were slicker than dog snot!! If you chipped to above the hole your next putt was definitely a challenge.....

The individual in the pro shop was rude and uncaring
