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.

Challenging greens but fun
Just a few areas around the course that could use some TLC Fairways and greens are in great shape
Slow
They book to many t tees together. Had 3 cart back up at times.
Has to be a hot deal
Pricing is getting pretty high for this course. If you can get a hot deal it’s doable.
Not worth the price slow play lots of mud and dirt areas
The lay out is fine
Pace of pace was poor at over 4 1/2 hours a nd still didn't finish due to darkness.
Hill rest
Reasonable course but nothing special. Could be a bit more maintained
Hillcrest
The course is in pretty good shape. Green grass tee to green. The pace of play is often slow with lits pf waiting. It moved pretty well yesterday.
There were some tucked pins. They should consider easier pins for weekend plays to keep the pace moving. No golfer complains about too many birdies.
Course conditions
This course continues to be in terrible shape. Tee boxes were so hard you couldn't put a tee in the ground in spots. Large areas were just bare dirt. Traps were crusty dirt.
Nice layout greens are great some dirt areas but playing area is nice would recommend
Better than reviews
The negatives are that the off the fairway or greens is in rough condition. Your basically hitting from dirt. And the bunkers are typically rock hard.
But the layout is good, fairways and greens in good to great condition. Pace of play on a Tuesday afternoon was just over four hours.
So for the price very decent, I'd go back for a discount rate for sure
