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.

Home course

I have always enjoyed Hillcrest golf course. I was shocked at what great shape it was in at this time of year… Tea boxes, and greens were both in fantastic shape. Fairways were under repair but overall also in great shape. I will take friends here anytime!

Perfect weather
Used cart

Run down

This used to be a very nice course but now the grass is dead or dying, cart paths are indistinguishable, no course layout on tee box and I could go on. I was surprised that we were about the only ones playing until I got a first hand look of the property.

Getting Better

Hillcrest is improving. They still need to put in a cart path for each hole from tee box to green. A lot of the damage that has been done on the course is due to not having a cart path. People drive wherever they want.

Good course

We've played Hillcrest several times, but it has been awhile due to poor conditions, so decided to play it again. The course is in much better condition, but very wet and still needs cart paths. The greens were slow with no fringe making putts tricky. The grass on the tee boxes was longer than normal as well. It's a good course if you want to get out and you're a mid to high handicapper. If you want consistency and nice rolling greens, go elsewhere.

Amazing improvements!!

Been golfing here for several years and consider this my “home course”. I have never seen it in better condition from the T-box, to the fairway and greens.

Awesome work Team Hillcrest - well done!
