Hillcrest Golf Club at Sun City West

Being the only course we could get on before 3:00 on The Open weekend our expectations weren't overly high. But the course was fun. Greens were rolling. Beer was cold. Scenery was good. Price was right. Glad we played.

Exceptional course layout. Unfortunately, some rough edges on some tee boxes, fairways, cart paths and surroundings.

Greens are generally quite good and have challenging contours.

Decent value for the price.

This was once a premiere course in Phoenix which is evident when you experience it.

Decent fairways and greens. Cart paths are the worst

I’ve always enjoyed playing this course bang for your bucket. It’s hard to beat. The greens are super fun and undulating and usually they got them rolling at at least a 10 or 11 love the dog leg par fives high risk reward to cut corners. There’s some dirt spots in the bunker a few of them could use a little bit of work, but overall really good value for what you pay to play and the people are great out there.

I have not played Hillcrest in several years because the course conditions were so poor..

It was much improved this time. The greens were in good shape and very fast.

Fairways were cut too close but also in good shape.

I wish there were paved cart paths. The dirt/gravel was not well maintained.

I will be going back.

Course was in decent shape although some of the rough areas were just dirt. Interesting layout... a lot of variety of hole designs. Club house attendant lacked a welcoming personality.

Hole 4 and beyond beware of the water hazards. If you keep out of the water you can put together a nice score for a 20 or higher handicap player.

I like playing this course.

course needs work, as usual. Would be a very nice course if they would take care of it. Greens are tough.

We had a 7:10 AM teatime and expected a good pace. The group in front of us was at least three holes behind. And the course Marshall is nothing. Way too slow for the third group out. Otherwise, the course is fine.
