Hillcrest Golf Club at Sun City West

Course is challenging, but course has been neglected a lot of dry spots and greens are in rough shape.

Got a great Hotdeal and played this challenging course. Greens were a bit rough and had not been mowed...so putting was not great. Fairways were like summer AZ fairways, had some bare spots and were on the longish side. Pace of play was very good because I was about the only one playing. Could have used more water stations on the course...hot days require water. Overall not a bad day golfing...will be back and hoping the greens are more up-to-speed.

I attempted to excuse the poor condition of the fairways and greens because of the hot weather conditions but was not able to after considering the other golf courses, that have been subjected to the same weather conditions, that I have played recently. The ground crew was watering to the point of soggy fairways in their efforts to regrow grass to no avail. The fairways and greens were not only soggy but were bare and brown making it difficult to determine the where the fairways were. The course layout is confusing due to the dead fairways making it a challenge to determine which green and fairway you were playing. You were better off playing from the rough, which was also brown and spotty, but better that playing off the dirt in the dead fairways. This was by far this course was in the absolute worst shape of any course that I have experienced. I have played this course in the past, it was in fair shape then but in much worse shape now, I doubt that I will play this course again.

The greens were in good condition but there were numerous bare spots in the fairways

Course conditions were a bit rough probably due to the extreme heat we are having. Hoping it gets better once it gets cooler.

Staff is awesome. Very laid back and enjoyable to play.

Really good layout, fairways in rough shape- greens well maintained and smooth, traps in good shape

We started playing Hillcrest back in the late 80's. It was once a majestic course that hosted both Senior PGA Tour and LPGA golf tournaments. Over the last decade the course has fallen into more of a dog track with fairways exhibiting bald spots and bunkers more like rock pits. A creek that ran through several holes on the course was dry.

The course is located in the middle of Sun City West, a retirement community that has it own private Country Club, four regulation and three executive courses. This once fine golf course is now been reduced to sad golfing experience.

Recently coming from the midwest, this course is the closest thing I've found so far in terms of the condition of the greens and how they receive the ball. Instead of being rock hard and extremely fast, you can actually stick and spin the ball on your approaches. For that to happen though, there must be major watering going on, which shortens some of the rolls you get in the fairways and on bump and run shots.

If you keep the ball where you are supposed to - the condition is great. Anything off the beaten path or fairway -- there is some improvements to be done for sure. But you can't expect pristine when you don't hit the shot where you want it. The course played well, the staff was friendly, the range was in good shape, and the experience was great for the money. Will definitely go back!

Tee boxes were a bit rough, but a challenging layout with great greens. Good overall value.

I enjoy this course. Enough challenging holes to use all your clubs. It’s fair for all levels and I can see the improvements being made. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely playing this again.

Nice greens and tee boxes. Fairways are wide and open. Rest of course is in pretty rough shape. Standing water in bunkers, rocks/pan dirt for rough.

Go literally anywhere else lol. Terrible condition all around. Terrible layout. At one point on a par 5 had 4 other carts in our fairways from other holes. So should tell you something. First Course I’ve ever been to that you can’t take alcohol on the course. Extremely backed up after 9. Got the back nine done in over 3 hours with the front 9 only taking 1.5 hours. Not worth 40$ anytime during the year. Play literally anywhere else
