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.

Any Day Golfing is Great!
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.
Fun course!
Really enjoyed this course, great layout and some challenging greens. Good pace of play and friendly staff, I’ll be back!
Good value golf course.
Little rough around the edges but tee boxes, fairways and green were great
Good overall
Greens in good shape. Fairways a bit furry. Pace of play was awesome
Improved fairways
The fairways and tee boxes have improved. There is still a lot of hardpan out there, but the fairways are improving. You will still get these weird hardpan bounces towards the hazards for no apparent reason and there is no transition from fairway to dirt. The fairway just stops randomly and hardpan dirt takes over. The greens are still hard as a rock and the ball will bounce off or roll to the back. The putting surface was pretty smooth, but very fast. There are a LOT of dead trees throughout the property. These along with the overgrown trees need to be cleaned up or removed. The cart paths have huge pot holes, There are ruts crisscrossing the fairways. It looks like maybe they were putting in drainage or irrigation but poorly filled in the trenches afterwards. Pace of play was slow, very slow at first. We were on track for a 5 hour round. After the turn it Yo-Yo'd for awhile but finally sped up a bit. We finished at a little over 4 1/2 hours. The was no ranger/marshal to keep pace.
The course has seen better days
We had a good time playing this course, but it’s definitely not in the best shape. Anything off the fairway is dry, hard dirt and rocks. The sand traps aren’t really sand, but just dirt. The course is a decent layout, but the course conditions are a bit rough. Too expensive for the state it’s in.
Slow!!!
We were trapped behind four older guys that started 30 minutes ahead of us. A normal four hour round was almost five. We waited 5 to ten minutes on 11 holes. No marshal. Saw him but he was parked on his phone. The group had at least three open holes ahead by the end of the day. Disappointed. 🤮
Fun course
Great value for the money. A little crowded took over 5 hours to finish. Course was in decent shape..
