Rating 72.7

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.

HILLVREST FALL FROM GRACE

As short as 5 Seasons ago this challenging but fair course was thrilling to play with rolling green fairways and lush tress.

Fast forward to today the fairways are brown and spotted, the forward tee boxes only have markers without a tee box and a lot trees are dead or dying.

At one time the Senior PGA visited this course now it would embarrassing and torture to hold a company best ball tournament.

I hope this course can return to greatness one day. Today I would stay away.

We show up for our tee time, we check in, and staff tells us we will be playing the back 9 holes twice, as they’re punching the front 9. He however did not tell us the tee boxes were also not in play, and they had “tee boxes” in the middle of the rough. Awful conditions overall, 4 of the 9 holes on the back were WAYY overwatered and had big mud pits in the fairways, “tee boxes” and on the fringes of the greens. Greens were overall brown, dead and muddy. Nowhere did it mention on the GolfNow that any of the “accommodations” were made, and overall disappointing round of golf.
