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
ok
fairways in good shape, greens real good, off the fairway pretty rough lots of bare dirt spots, no cart path just bumpy dirt , no beverage cart on a weekend
ive always liked the layout, and for what was charged in summer its ok . but definitely a budget course, you get what you pay for
Still Playable
Greens in good condition. Good rates brings out less skilled and golfers with no golf etiquette.
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.
Staff
The staff was awesome. Drink lady was great I wish she worked later in the afternoon played 18 holes in 3.5 hours. Great time
Nice, could use some work other than watering the crap out of
Nice course, I like the lay out but they need to water the course and not all the bare dirt.
