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.

Great Value from Golf Pass / Tee Off

The Course was in very good shape including the greens. Pace of play was not a problem. Enjoyed the round.

Resort course scenery at municipality course pricing

My “new” favorite Phoenix course. Most of the Sun City courses I have played in Peoria have been short enough that I could reach the greens in regulation from the tips. I am glad I teed off from the whites on this course because The blues would have been outside my class. I loved everything about this course. The scenery, the layout,the elevation changes, the conditions, you name it. I did not try the bar or the food, but I came to play golf.

Declining Overall Course Conditions

I’ve been playing this course intermittently over the past three decades. The fairways were in some of the best condition ever, primarily due to the heavy rainfall this year. The greens were also in good shape. Most golf courses in Arizona have benefited from the winter rains. However, the problem lies outside the fairways, sand traps, and tee boxes. The excessive dirt areas, rocky sand traps, and divoted tee boxes require attention. Maintenance is the issue. It seems they’ve been spending money recklessly at the course for years, reinvesting only to improve the appearance. It’s disheartening to witness. Additionally, there’s no beverage cart on the course during play.

Good

Been playing the course for years. Overall, the general condition is very good, but there were a lot of broken water pipes making a fair amount of the course drenched in water and muddy.

so much potential

beautiful day, paired up with 3 other great guys. first time playing hillcrest-tee boxes, fairways and greens were really decent. many of the fairways and areas around the greens were pure dirt. need to shut down and churn up bare dirt areas, re-seed and re-establish designated cart paths as i believe it is the errant carts that beat up the areas aforementioned. yes, easy for me to say, but...a nice challenging course that was 3/4's there but a very important 1/4 made a lot of difference. go play it so they hopefully spend the extra money on those improvements and it could become a hidden gem

Tina - Iowa

Course was easy to get on. Was pretty full front nine then cleared up so we could play faster. A lot of geese on this course so not very clean. Over all it is a 45.00 course

Awesome outing

Everything for the course is awesome, the only issue is this being my second time playing here is start times are just an idea, I was talking to the pro shop and said I may need to start a few minutes late but before the next tee time. He said ok but he sent the 6 couples out 9 minutes early. My prior time had the 3 o’clock tee time he sent me out at 242.

Fun track

Being the only course we could get on before 3:00 on The Open weekend our expectations weren't overly high. But the course was fun. Greens were rolling. Beer was cold. Scenery was good. Price was right. Glad we played.
