Hillcrest Golf Club at Sun City West

With snowbirds having left area course was almost empty so our twosome played in some 3 to 31/2 hours. Fairways and greens are in Ok shape especially considering price to play.

The course was in reasonable condition and the greens were rolling true. Pace of play was good with no real complaints with minor wait times on some holes.

I have been playing Hillcrest for 5+ years. It was the first course I played when I moved to Arizona in 2019. It has always be in average shape. It has been let go to the point I stopped playing for about 18 months but heard they were improving conditions so I came back to play again. I love the layout of the course and how close it is to where I live so started coming back to play. The playing conditions have improved tremendously in the last 6 months and will continue to keep it as a part of my regular rotation of courses I play. The greens are in very good shape. They still need to work on improving the fairways. If you hit off of fairway you will find lots of dirt which needs to be improved. Overall this is a great value and a good course, I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun day and not trying to spend a lot money to golf.

The group I was paired with was a no show. Went out as single. Paired up on 3rd hole with 2 some. The group ahead of them dropped out on 10 and we paired up with single left. Management worked to keep groups playing quickly.and no gaps. Greens were rough grainy grass. No putts rolling smoothly.

I had a great time play this track. Everything about this golf course is good except driving range. They have you hitting off of mats instead of real grass and when you hit your golf ball on these mats, the mats move and you can’t really swing well. My only thing is if you’re playing on real grass you should be hitting off of real grass in the driving range or at least have the mats pinned down to where they won’t move.

Parts of the course are greatly improved. Pace is not one of those things. Having 3 groups waiting on the par 3's is just painful. We waited on every shot and every hole every time. The greens are hard and unreceptive. The ball just rolls to the back of the green regardless of where it lands. Some of the fairways are in good shape, but others not so much. Any of the fairways which are sloped will give you a bad bounce towards the hazards and there is mostly hard packed dirt all the way to the hazard so nothing will stop the ball from entering.

The course was not in good condition at all. The cart paths were basically non-existent, and if there was one it was gravel or very bumpy cement.

Fairways rough in some places liked the layout pace of play was slow on back round was 4 hours and 45 minutes

It was a good day - the course was nice and the staff were very friendly. It didn't play well for me but it was nice course in good shape.

Really enjoyed this course, great layout and some challenging greens. Good pace of play and friendly staff, I’ll be back!

Little rough around the edges but tee boxes, fairways and green were great
