A Warm Day at Hillcrest

Got a great Hotdeal and played this challenging course. Greens were a bit rough and had not been mowed...so putting was not great. Fairways were like summer AZ fairways, had some bare spots and were on the longish side. Pace of play was very good because I was about the only one playing. Could have used more water stations on the course...hot days require water. Overall not a bad day golfing...will be back and hoping the greens are more up-to-speed.

Disappointing Day For Sure

Had not played here for quite some time. Course conditions were not too great...greens had not been mowed and it was a weekend, fairways were spotty and long and the tee boxes were spotty also. Pace of play was not good on a hot day. Got to 3 tee box and there were three groups already on the hole! On a super hot day having to wait that long is not a good thing and pace didn't get much better all round. Will give course another shot later this year, but was disappointed today.

Disappointing Day on the Course

My second time playing this course. It was a hot day so not many playing which allowed for a three hour round...much appreciated. The course itself was in average shape...fairways with some burnt out spots and the greens were not in good shape. They had punched the greens some time ago and they had not recovered...very dry and lots of punch marks, bare spots and in need of water. It was pretty much get on the green and take your two putts and move on...would have been nice to have know this before paying to play. There were water/restrooms on both 9s and the water was cold. Will give this another try later this year and hope the conditions have improved, but for now can't recommend this course for playing.

A Cottonwood Fun Time

First time playing this course and it was a good time. Played this nine hole layout twice. Not a lot of room to hit it sideways...straight is a must...course not long but no room on the sides. Some very interesting holes and some large greens to test ones putting skills. Greens were not super fast but were decent putting speed and held well with a good approach shot. The second time around was nice...learned where not to hit it on the first time. Will definitely play this course again when in the Cottomwood area...a real fun time.

A Real Hidden Gem

This was a great day on this golf course. Not a lot of players so pace was excellent on this hot day. Lots of different types of holes requiring some shot making. Really enjoyed figuring out how to play the holes. Very scenic course with some awesome views. Greens were quick and required concentration, depending on where you were on the huge greens. Fairways were good and playing the ball down was not a problem. They were working on the tee boxes when we played, so the tees were not in the best of shape, but will be when renovation is done. Loved this course and will play it again if in the area. Clubhouse folks were great as was the pro...loved chatting with them.

A Fun Day at A Fun Course

First time playing this course and it did not disappoint. Course has a nice mixture of holes...some dog legs left, dog legs right and some just straight away holes. Course conditions were very good. Fairways were nice, greens were fast and held shots, rough was not super long. We played on a cloudy day, so not a lot of golfers on the course, so we got around in about 3 1/2 hours. Would love to play this course again in the future. Well worth the money.

A Nice Play Away From the City

First time playing this course and had a great time. Course was in good shape except for a couple of areas where the river had exceeded it's banks. Fairways were great and the greeens putted true. Lots of different types of shots requiring all the clubs in the bag. The weather was perfect and pace of play was great...got around in under 4 hours. Golf shope gentleman was very helpful and made sure all our wants were met. Would definitely recommend this course.

A Day Well Spent

Had a Sunday morning tee time and pace of play was not an issue. We finished in just over 3 hours. This is a wonderful course with lots of character. There are a variety of holes that will test even the best golfer. Greens were excellent...putted smooth, quick and true. Fairways were nicely cut which made for good fairway shots. Rough was long, not a place to go! We had a great time golfing in perfect weather. Will definitely play this course again. A gem of a course.

What A Fun Day On A Fun Course

A perfect course for every level of golfer. Your just need to pick the correct set of tees for your skill level. Conditions were nice...fairways cut nicely, greens were fast and true and the "black sand" bunkers were something new...black sand, not your usual tan colored sand...but it played just like tan sand. There are a variety of holes that will challenge you...doglegs, layups and tight holes. It is a great test of golf. Pace of play was good...finished right at 4 hours. Will play this course again...because it was FUN!

Worth Playing for Sure!

This is a beautiful golf course with lots of holes that will test your golf skills. There are dogleg holes, layup holes and blind tee shot holes. The greens were good...putted smoothly and were reasonably quick. The greens also held a shot. My only concern as a first timer was that some of the holes were hard to figure out as to just where to hit the tee ball...but with a quick drive up the fairway (not able to do when course is busy) I was able to figure out where to go. The 12th island green is a great hole...hit it straight and the correct distance or you will find yourself in the water...fun hole. I would play this course again.

A Nice Nine Hole Layout

Had a great day to play this course. Weather was perfect...warm and sunny. Course has some interesting holes, but is pretty much a "north-south" type course...like many midwestern courses. The fairways were a bit long...needed mowing as did the rough. Greens were soft but the ball rolled well. Cups could have been changed for the weekend golfers. Overall it was a good deal for the money we spent. Clubhouse gentleman was super nice and accomodating...a big asset to the course. A fun day golfing.

Just Nice Day On A Nice Course

Have played this course before but this was the best condition I've ever seen this course. Fairways were great and the greens were outstanding. Greens putted very true and had good pace. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny. Clubhouse people were perfect and very nice. Had a good chat with the afternoon lady! Will always have this course on my list to play because it is a real treat to golf here.

A Very Busy Place

Was looking for a place to play some golf in the east Valley and this was the choice. Course was packed with golfers and the first tee was not manned by anyone...so you just got up there at your approximate time and went. Pace was slow, even though they did have a marshall out on the course. Greens were nice and puttable and on the fast side...firm also. The fairways were average at best, not in the best condition. Overall it was a nice day on the golf course. Will play it again to see if the conditions have improved.

An Interesting Executive Course

Enjoyed a fun afternoon golfing this executive course...par 60. Each nine started and ended with a par 4. The greens were average speed to a bit on the slow side and firm. Local knowledge would have made for better scoring. Some of the greens are very big and have lots of roll to them. Pace of play was great and we did see the marshal out and about. Bev cart had good cold drinks. This was a course will worth the money.

A Good Play

Enjoyed playing as a single and moving right along. The course was a good test of all my clubs. Local knowledge would have helped on a lot of the holes...was hard to figure out just where to hit the tee ball. Fairways were nice as were the greens. The greens held well and putted smoothly. A nice variety of holes made for a good day on the course.

Not a Bad Day on the Course

First time playing this course. Has some interesting holes. A drainage ditch runs through most of the course and a wayward shot will end up under water. The course had been painted with a green, I believe, fertilzer that made it very green, except for the dormant roughs. The roughs could have used some mowing.,..very had to find your ball if you veered off he fairways. Greens were firm and putted nicely. The greens were large and rolly...made for an interesting day putting. I enjoyed this course and would like to come back and play it again when it was all natural green. Pace of play was good, as there were not many golfers playing.

The Course by the Interstate!

Have driven by this course many a time on the way to Las Vegas and wanted to play it. Got a windy and chilly day, but the course was pretty vacant so we zipped around in about 3 1/2 hours. Course was in winter condition, so some bare spots on the fairways. Greens were nice...firm so they putted fast. Layout gives a chance to use all the clubs in your bag and tests your shot making ability on a lot of the holes. Good value for the money.

Disappointing For Sure

Played this course 11 days before overseed. Course was in terrible shape…and not because of the upcoming overseed. Evidently they have not a watering system because the “fairways” were nothing but brown grass and dirt…the same could be said of the tees…mostly dirt! Greens were barely adequate…didn’t have to worry about fixing divots because you couldn’t make…very firm! No water stations on the course, desperately needed!! Not sure how they can advertise this course as beautiful experience. Really disappointed and won’t be back any time soon. I love golf but this tested my patience!

A Cold Round of Golf

First time playing this layout. Some interesting holes on this cold and windy day. Golf shop and snack bar folks were great. The course was in average condition for the winter season. The greens are large and held shots very well. They putted smoothly and with above average speed. A wide variety of holes keep you focused on your tee ball. Fun time will be back.

Lots of Water!

First time playing this course, so not much local knowledge. Fairways were nice and just off the fairways was the rough that needed to be cut…tough to find your ball. The greens were average speed but did hold an approach shot. Played as a single so got around the course in 3 1/2 hours. Golf shop and player service folks were great.
