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.

2nd day in Phoenix

This was our second course on our vacation in the Phoenix area. The coursed played well, still need a little TLC in some areas. Greens were firm. Fairways where forgiving if you have a hook or slice.

enjoyed the course and the beautiful weather.

The course was in great shape. The fairways were cut at a descent length. The rough was as expected to be penal. The bunkers seemed to be lacking in sand. It seemed they were just roughed up hard pan dirt. The greens were great, there were a few that needed to be cut/rolled but overall were pretty good. The tee boxes were pretty good also most of them (4s @ 5s) could be cut a little shorter but if you ball is on a tee who cares. Yes play this course it was pretty good.

Great time great pace of play

Had an early morning tee time. The green were in good condition and so were the fairways. Some spots may have been a little over watered but it wasn’t too bad. the roughs weren’t great but they were not terrible. for the most part it was a fun course to play on and would play there again. Very forgiving fairways as well if you are new to golf. The staff was also very friendly.

Well kept, forgiving course.

Fairways and greens are well kept. Visually nice, but simple. A few annooyingly well-placed bunkers. Fortunatly for me, the one I ended up in was hard pack (see, forgiving).

Course has a lot of leeway for mistakes. Even the rough is usually playable. Other players and staff were inviting and friendly to our first time visit.

We will play again!

Slow golfers playing from the blue tees that didn’t have the distance. It took me 2:30 minutes to play 9 holes and that tired me out for waiting forever for the golfers around me.

Nice course

Overall a nice course greens were good fairways good except for standing water in places some of the sand traps were more like waste bunkers

We played in under 3 hours 18 holes can’t beat that only issue we had was when we were finishing the 12 th hole 2 guys that had been behind us decided to jump ahead of us ? I asked what they were doing and they said we were too slow Played the front in a hour and a half had a group in front of us ? Not a problem letting someone through but they didn’t say anything

Really bad golf etiquette

Tee to green the course is in much better condition than it has been. However, it is still rough around the edges.
