Hillcrest Golf Club at Sun City West
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.

First time playing Hillcrest
The staff friendliness was outstanding. Bill ( the guy who loaded the carts) was absolutely great. He helped make my day from the start. This is the first time I've played here so I did not know what to expect. The course has an interesting layout. There is water on a few holes but nothing too drastic. A bad tee shot will find the water. To me the hardest part was the greens. LOTS of slopes and curves. The course was in reasonable condition. There are some rough areas that they are working on. I was told that they are putting a lot of money in restoring it. You can see that it is coming along. The geese and coots had their way with a few fairways. Stupid filthy birds. But, what can you do about that?! Anywhere there are ponds you will have these stupid poopers.
The pace of play was really good. I think we played on a Saturday in under 4 hours. I think that this course (with continued time and effort) can get back into its prime.
Sun City Golf
Course was ok…wide fairways so pretty forgiving if you are a little errant. Greens were good and rolled nicely. Not sure about the yard markers as I didn’t have my range finder and I thought they were a little off. No beverage cart so pack lots of water. Pace of play was good..4 hours to play. Fairways were in good shape. Tee blocks were pretty rough on a few holes (par 3’s). Would play again.
Course conditions were not great
The employees were great. But the conditions even with rain a few days before were not good.
Potential
I liked the layout of this course and fairways and greens were mostly fine but it definitely needs some TLC. Has the potential to be a really nice course.
Hillcrest GC
Very good overall - pace of play a bit slow but enjoyable round!
Beautiful BUT
The Fairway is amazing - greens were wonderful ….. BUT anything not on fairways is in muddy tracks - large unkempt areas …. pace of play was slow - and it was a twosome in front of our foursome . The Bar closed promptly at 4 pm …. However the Pro Shop and the cart fellas were amazing and FRIENDLY !’n
Great course value
Fairways and greens in awesome shape. Traps were awful. I don’t understand why people do not fix ball marks on the greens anymore. Selfish I guess. Good track for the money.
