Hillcrest Golf & Country Club Tee Times

I don't care for the golf course. While it's similar to Swope park golf course in the terrain and slanting fairways, playing the course well requires a lot of playing and shot strategy that makes playing golf less fun for me. For example, most par 4/5’s require hitting shorter tee shots and longer approach shots... That is unless you hit long tee shots and can make ridiculous second shots where the ball is below your feet and you're hitting up to an elevated green and you're just awesome at that shot. Greens seemed soft but fast, and there was a lot of turn in every put, which made putting a real challenge. They either fertilized and/or colored their greens, because there was a real blue tint to the dew on the green and it stained our hands. See pics. Course is ok but it's paying the price for being a Great Life course for a few years where they just took the money and didn't invest at all in the course. The golf range has been closed and that's a real negative. Walking rate was $59 which is a joke and so over priced. It's going to be a long time before I return to this course. Please like my review if you find it useful!

Fun course but the fairways are unplayable on numerous holes to the point I moved to the rough so I could hit off grass instead of dirt. The greens were rolling quickly and it was tough to hold any approach shot so it was almost links style course. The picture is of hole 14 which is a 155 yard par 3 with water in front and left of the green, sand behind green, and very difficult terrain if you go right. Easily the best looking hole on the course but also notice there isn't a fairway which is the primary issue at Hillcrest.

We got married here and I can't say enough good things about this place. The wedding was flawless and the people who helped us were so knowledgeable that the wedding went perfectly. I wish I could go back and do it all again.

Greens and bunkers in great shape but the fairways like others have said are unplayable. Just a bunch of dirt and weeds. Better off hitting in the rough and for the prices they charge I’d go somewhere else. If the fairways get fixed then it’s a very good challenging course.

On my visit to KC Missouri my cousin toke me to Hillcrest Golf Course. I'm a beginner so I only participated in the driving range. Beautiful course and driving range. The cost for driving range was cheap.
