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.

Nice course needs work

First time playing here. Course is a fun course some good holes. Just needs work. Fairways were ok, greens good for most part some were patchy. Rough area not in good shape. Staff friendly and good as well. I would play here again, just because the holes were enjoyable.

Great value

Course is in better shape than normal for this time of year. Still has the usual dead spots in some fairways and rough, but most fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were the best condition I’ve seen them in. I play this course 5-10 times per year and found it to be a great bang for the buck. Not the nicest course, but it was fairly empty due to the heat and we finished 18 in 3.5 hours not rushing.

Great design needs maintenance

The layout is great and it’s nice and long. Some challenging greens with tough pin positions. The pace of play was great last 2 days went out around noon. However, the course needs a TON of work. Fortunately the fairways and greens are getting water and are very playable but the rough and cart paths are a disaster. There is no signage or hole number / yardage which you would expect for a course that used to host tournaments in the past. Played the Hot Deal and it was well worth it.

Fantastic Condition for the $$$$$$

We were pleasantly surprised by the maintenance. The fairways were green, and putting surfaces were running smooth.

Sand traps could use more rakes, but other than that, we will put on our list to play, again, and again.

Surprised!

This was the first time playing this course since 2017. It has really improved. The last time I said I would not play it again due to the conditions. However, I chose to play it again based on current reviews of it. The fairways and greens are in pretty good shape. Pace of play was good. I would recommend it today, with the understanding that the coming hot weather might change the conditions.
