Hillcrest Golf Club at Sun City West

Fairways and greens in good shape, greens maybe a little slow. Everything off the fairways is mud and dirt — pretty rough. Cart paths are TERRIBLE. Hard to get into much trouble, easy enough course to score well.

All staff we had contact with were friendly. Were paired up with two guys who never shut their mouths (mostly to each other, rarely to us) so that got tedious.

Greens - 10
Fairways - 9.
Rough - 5
The woman's tee (RED) were moved extremely forward - hopefully a temp situation?
Limited drinking water on course?

I was out of town staying in Surprise and was looking for a well-maintained golf course, close by. It was the most reasonable of the 3 other rounds I played. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were outstanding. I will definitely be back for a round when back in AZ.

I had to give this course another try for the money. The layout is unlike anything else you will find in the price range. I prefer this courses to some resort courses in Scottsdale. I like the greens as well. The pins can be very challenging depending on placement. I wish they had the GPS monitors on the carts but I understand that this is old school golf club. The course layout maps are hard to come by as well. You need course knowledge because some of the holes are hidden as far as turns and directions. You need to know how far you can hit on some par 4s and you need to know what is over the hill on some par 3s. The water comes into play a few times as well. The tips aren't marked even though it is on the scorecard, but the Blue tees will give you all you want the first time you play it. Good luck with club selection off the tee.

Slow play after 1.00 5 hour round. Otherwise great time

Haven’t played this course for at least 7 years. Last time I played it was in a terrible condition, so I didn’t come back. Several people told me that it’s been improved a lot, so I took a chance. The tees, fairways and greens are in great condition but the rest of the golf course is absolutely run down and hasn’t been taken care of at all. There is no rough to speak of, mostly packed dirt. Some sand traps have decent sand in them, some don’t. This course needs a major overhaul of everything except the fairways and greens. Won’t be playing here again.

The greens and fairways are in much better shape than they were in previous years, especially considering the record temperature summer we had. The only complaints I have are rough cart paths and unacceptable ball cleaning stations.

First time playing Hillcrest this year. Fairways were in very nice condition, greens rolled true with a few exceptions but the off fairways areas are very rough. Layout of this course is super nice and the value through Golf Now was solid. Will definitely be back.

If you want 7 minute tee times and start 20 minutes after your appointed tee time. And play 9 holes in 3 hours this is the course for you, if not, I would stay far away from this place I will never be back again. Rude staff

Had a fun time playing. Fairways are nice and wide, but don’t miss them because the rough and fairway bunkers have been a little neglected. Tee boxes need some help too. That being said the staff was really friendly and the experience was nice.
