Hillcrest Golf Club at Sun City West
About
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.

Loved these palms behind one of the greens. Photo submitted by gailmaher on 03/18/2013
Could be amazing..
This course would be so much better if it was maintained better. The course layout and the challenging holes are so much fun, unfortunately it doesn’t look that great. The fairways are the best part, the greens were close to being good but there was some patchy parts. I understand courses bump up the price for the weekend warriors but 80 dollars for this sun city course is not the price it should be at the moment. The staff is very friendly, I was just a little disappointed on how the course looked at 75-80 bucks. I’d play again if it was 30 bucks or under. Again I loved the challenging holes but if you’re not hitting fairway, you’re playing on thin dead grass or dirt. The sand traps were very rocky and hard too.
Good Round of Golf
Our foursome hadn't played this course before, so playing a new layout was fun. It's mostly wide open with lots of forgiveness for novice golfers, but the holes and putting we're more than challenging. Greens, tees and fairways were in good shape but everything perimeter was pretty left to minimal care. I focus on the overall value + course rather than everything being perfect. All in all I would play there again and note it's a pretty decent place to play for all levels of golfers.
Hillcrest has come a long way from 4 years ago fairways and greens were nice only complaint is the pace of Play could be better but still played in 4 1/2 Definitely recommed
Great course
Fairways on great. Greens are rolling nice. The rough is a little "rough" but a great lay out. Great value for your mobey
Terrible Experience
Been golfing here for 4 plus years and Friday was the only terrible experience I’ve had and I’ll never go back. Very rude lady checking in, absolutely horrible and unprofessional starter and was constantly bugged by marshal while the entire course was backed up. Driving range all fully grown in new grads but was forced to hit off astro turf on uphill angle for $84. Never once in 4 years have I ever had an encounter with any of the 3 unprofessional employees and I will never return.
Solid bang for your buck
For the price, can’t be beat! Course was in solid shape. Tee boxes were solid, greens were fair, fairways were lush. No beverage cart or ice in the cooler, but besides that pretty solid day. With Scottsdale and Phoenix courses charging hundreds, this is a great option for the price.
Great Value from Golf Pass / Tee Off
The Course was in very good shape including the greens. Pace of play was not a problem. Enjoyed the round.
Resort course scenery at municipality course pricing
My “new” favorite Phoenix course. Most of the Sun City courses I have played in Peoria have been short enough that I could reach the greens in regulation from the tips. I am glad I teed off from the whites on this course because The blues would have been outside my class. I loved everything about this course. The scenery, the layout,the elevation changes, the conditions, you name it. I did not try the bar or the food, but I came to play golf.
