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.

Bad Course Conditions
Bunkers were like cement bowls, hard ugly sand. Greens were very inconsistent, some were like shaved sidewalks.
Fun Track
Fast greens. Good fairways. Not so good if you miss the fairway. Very dry and hard. 5 hr Saturday round.
2/17/23 Round
Tee boxes - fair
Fairways - good, grass a bit long
Greens - very good, a tad on slow side
Bunkers - some good but most are not
Cart paths - fair
Pace play - very good
Other - layout is great, staff great (especially Bill)
More food options in the clubhouse. The Ruff was just dead grass. Should maybe change to a desert landscape if the grass was up kept
Terrible upkeep
They advertise that there have been 5 Senior Tour events as well as 2 LPGA events played here. That must’ve been a long time ago. The course was in terrible shape! Dry everywhere! We paid $80 for a course that shouldn’t have been more than$30.
Great layout
I've played this course numerous times and I've always found the layout fun yet challenging at the same time especially holes 16,17,18. The only issue I have is the green fees have increased from the $40-$50 range to last Sunday's $85 plus tax. That is a bit much for this course in my opinion. I definitely will not play here as often as I used to at this price point.
Fairway bunkers
Decent course, but the fairway bunkers need a lot of work. No sand in the bunkers and grass has started to over take them. Need to repair or get rid of them.
