This course has great tee boxes, fairways and the greens were perfect. Sand traps are decent. If you get off line then you have a mix of bare spots and hardpan that isn't really rocky so you won't ruin your clubs. There are a few water holes and it's a challenging layout with undulating green complexes that test your putting game. There are some really good views here too. I would definitely recommend.B+

IGNORE the negative reviews, as a picky golfer, this place was amazing. Me and my father came in the offseason (January) since we are snowbirds. The course was in AMAZING shape, it had luscious fairways and amazing greens. I work at a high end country club during the summer and this course rivaled it to a tee. The course is perfect for high single digit handicappers like myself, but the back 9 is definitely more challenging than the front. I still only lost one ball the whole round and enjoyed every second. The gentleman in the pro shop was super accommodating and gave us the whole rundown about everything. The pricing is more than fair, even for range balls and club rentals. I recommend booking on Golfnow because we got a discounted afternoon rate on top of the already great pricing. I may have bias since I shot the best round of my life here, but the atmosphere, course play, and people were all wonderful and I plan on coming back.

I'm from SC and this was my first time in AZ. I booked my round through a 3rd party because I wasn't sure on where to play for a reasonable price. Thank you for choosing Hillcrest! I had a tee time for 11:07am and I thought it was at 10:30, so I was a bit early. My encounter with Ms. Michelle and the counter was absolutely amazing! Her spirit was very beautiful! Thank you, Ms Michelle! I was paired up with a threesome which included Mr. Glenn (who actually works there) and his son and daughter in law. He was an absolute joy to play with. The course, the greens and the people were awesome. If you are not sure on where to play and you want the bang for your buck, this is the place. I'm a 12-13 handicap and I shot an 87 (with rented clubs)
