Pace of play is terrible, marchall is useless

Took 3 hours to play the front 9. the 2 groups in front of us were playing at a snails pace. One of our foursome got fed up and quit after 9. The marshal had the never to say "instead of the 2 groups in front of you, it's wide open" we told him to go motivate those groups as this was getting insane. He smiled and drove off, never saw him again. After 2 more holes, another left our group in frustration. Took us, a two some now, 5 hours to play this course.
SAD
Will not be coming back any time soon.

Very much improved!

Usually Hillcrest is like any other mid range course. The over seed doesn't come in great and the grass is a little thin. WOW, the grass was very nice, could get a club under the ball. Green rolled well also. We will definitely come back. Bunkers still need some care, but most courses have that issue.

Always Great

GCU is a great course, the staff is awesome. They make you feel like you are truly wanted to play there. They greet you and send a ranger out to keep pace going and are ALL friendly. Course is in great shape, greens very fast, but fair. Stay out of the bunkers as they are deep and have very soft sand.

Zero sand in any bunkers and greens a mess

Usually when we play here in summer, fairways are parched and greens are awesome. Not so now. No sand in ANY bunker on the whole course. No water buckets either, only 1 fountain per 9 holes. No drink cart, makes it tough when it's this hot. Greens were dead in parts and bumpy and bad in others. We used to love this course due to set up. Now it seems that they just don't care anymore. Will be a while till we come back.

Overbooked and slowest round ever

I guess when you book a tourney, you should NOT over book the whole course, and then just make the public wait. I was 45 mins before tee time and told they were behind 45 minutes to an hour due to a tourney. Wasn't offered free range balls fro their over sight, or a bottle of water, nothing. They only care about how many they can pack in here. Once we finally teed off, 9 holes took 3 hours due to constant slow play. We got do fed up, we quit after 9, but not before our cart died half way up 9 fairway. Sad, because we like the course, but not a potential 6 hour round due to constant over booking. fairways average, traps terrible, greens good over all.

Vast Improvement

We played here in October when they re-opened for the winter.. Course was rough. They have obviously been hard at work getting the greens to come back and doing a lot of fixing. Greens still a little bumpy, but overall.... kudos to the staff. We will definitely be coming back. Pace of play was good and the course was in very good shape overall.

Great Greens

We play here many times a year. The winter greens are excellent. Best I have ever seen here. Fairways are green, rough, is the rough. We enjoyed our round and the extra we were paired up with was fun as well. Great day!

Disappointed

We play here about 20 times a year due to price and pace of play. This course was closed for a full month in October to re-seed and prep for winter. The course looked like they just seeded last week. The practice green was 60% sand and bumps. Ranger said "don't worry, course greens in better shape"....NOT The greens were patchy and bumpy and looked like the seed washed off and they left it in clumps on the green. Clumps of grass , worn spots and bumps. Rough was 4 inches and not mowed and muddy. Fairways were muddy. Every time you tee'd off, you had mud on your ball for the 2nd shot; didn't matter if you hit fairway or rough...MUD. Chipping near the greens was a joke due to the soft mud. I was shocked to see it like this as it is usually is good shape. We will not be back for a few months to see if they can get their act together.

Slow play again and no ranger in site

I just have to write this as it has n=been MANY rounds here coming. The GOOD: course is in good condition even though the are working on the greens, happens, so no big deal. The pace of play is just sad. Since it has such a good location, you get a lot of hackers that think they are tour pros here. PLAY FROM THE CORRECT TEES!! We had a foursome of hackers playing tips in front of us. Made a 3.5 hour round 4.5 to 5 hours. Ranger not in sight and the one time we saw him, he just drove by. Unfortunate.

WIndy day, but greens in bad shape

The overall course was average as the fairways were green and had good grass in them. The greens however...hmmmm From a distance they look like well mowed grass. When you get up close, you can see there it very little grass on them and you are basically putting on dirt. It is smooth< I will sat that, but super fast due to lack of grass to slow ball. Beware that your shots will not hold and most run through the green. Was a windy, rainy day, but even wet conditions did slow our balls on the green..lol

Please water something!

Greens were scalped and bone dry. On #9 they put the pin between two grass-less, repair areas... REALLY?!?

And the whole front of that green had "grass". Rest of course was super dry and rock hard, great for long drives, but not for anything else.

Fun day.. but one thing

The course was in good shape, greens good as well. The only issue we had is they have 3, 9-hole courses and they funneled everyone onto the same back 9 instead of spreading us out. Made the back nine a slow march versus the front (king) that was fun. Other than that, good day overall.

Good Conditions for the middle of summer

Greens rolled well and the fairways had a little spring to them. Still some hard-pan in spots, but overall good.

Have they heard of water here?

I get that it is summer in AZ, but wow. Fairways were parched, seriously. I hit the middle of the fairway on a par 5 that was tremendously slanted towards the "junk". The fairway had no grass so my ball rolled 40 yards off the fairway into the "junk". I find that in-excusable as this was a nice course prior. Even the "cheapy" courses can afford water. Greens were "iffy" as well, with a lot of bare spots. Spend 5 or 10 more and play somewhere nicer.

Course in good shape, grrens a little rough

BUT.. they had been aerated a few weeks ago. It is just a little frustrating when you throw a dart at the flag and the putt bounces like a pinball to the hole... lol Overall course in good shape and we had a good time.

Good Course...Very good condition

We all enjoyed our round. Pace of play was good, course was in good shape. MY only complaint was the beverage cart was only by on the 4th hole and the 12th. It was 95 degrees out and we could have used a little more service from the "cart lady". You really do not need anything on the 4th and not seeing anybody till the 12th on a hot day, was a bit long.

Good Executive Course

It has a few par 4s and one par 5, so it is long enough to get in most of your clubs. Tees and greens in good shape. Some of the fairways need work. Overall a good course and we enjoy playing it.
