First Time Gem

Very nice course, wide fairways and fast greens. The whole course is very well maintained. Will definitely play this course again. Only negatives are the fairway bunkers are very hard (don’t expect fluffy sand) and the “hot tee time” did not include a cart. Expect an additional $16 per seat if you want a cart.

Good fairways, bumpy greens

Course in pretty good shape, fairways are green but some brown spots which are typical this time of year. Rough is, well, rough, mostly clumpy grass but playable. Sand traps are not fluffy sand (I was actually able to putt out of the left bunker on hole 14), mostly hard pan but had some give to them. Some greens were hard and bumpy, not as smooth as they are in the winter months. Overall the course is in good shape, enjoyed the round and had a good time with the other members of the foursome.

Excellent Greens

Course is in great shape but the greens were in perfect shape(sand traps were not as fluffy as they usually are). Had to wait on threesome for the first nine holes but they let us play through on second nine which sped up our play. Three and a half hour round which could have been three if they would have let us play through earlier in the round. Weather was great in the 80’s throughout our round.

Just like the rest of the Sun City courses, they’re in great shape

I’ve been playing a lot of courses in the NW valley lately and this course as well as the other Sun City courses are in great shape compared to others in the area that are not part of the Sun City group. Green Fairways, soft bunkers and smooth greens. As hot as it has been lately you would expect some course burnout but not here and the cost for a round is very reasonable.

Getting back to normal

Greens are getting back to normal, still a little bumpy but the sand is almost non-existent. Fairways are in good shape so overall the play was better than three weeks ago when I last played here. Sand traps still need a lot of work. Did run into a group that was looking over the course making notes of standing water and overall condition of the course so maybe there’s a chance they’ll do something with the sand bunkers as well. I would say that the price I paid for the round was a good deal.

It’s Hillcrest

I always enjoy this course as long as I stay in the fairways. There are some brown spots but mostly green grass and in some spots wet grass. The greens are almost fully recovered from the aeration process, a little bumpy and slow but better than some other courses in the area. Overall a good place to play for the price of the round.

Always a fun round

Considering the time of year, the fairways and greens were in great shape. Some brown spots in the fairway but that’s to be expected. Greens were mostly in good shape, a few had some brown areas but overall they were smooth. Tee boxes could use some work, most were in bad shape, If you don’t tee the ball up good luck finding grass to hit off of. Good price for this time of year. If you stay between the trees you’ll have a fun round.

Better but still needs care

Played this course about a month ago and it was in rough shape due to lack of water (pump went out). Today the fairways were in a lot better shape as it looks like they have been getting water. Kudos to the maintenance team to get the fairways back in playing (but not perfect) shape. The greens however had recently been aerated and topped with sand so very bumpy and slow which made putting very difficult (must add that when I reserved my tee time I was warned about the aeration). Give it another month and the course should be in great shape. Fortunately the price was fair given the condition of the course.

Always A Fun Round

Well manicured fairways, true rolling greens (some were a little brown but still roll true) even in this heat. Little over a three hour round with nobody pushing us nor us waiting for group in front.

Crowded Weekend

Not bad for the price. It was a little crowded so had to wait on most holes for a little over four hour round. There are some brown spots in the fairway and most greens were pretty good but a little bumpy. Typical for this time of year. Still a fun round.

Needs water

Can’t believe how much this course has deteriorated over the last month. Last time I played here the fairways were green and the greens were in pretty good condition. Today it looks like they have shut off the water, fairways are getting brown and the greens are brown and bumpy. Reminds me of when the pump house stopped working two years ago. Hope they do something to get it back in shape before the whole course dies. Would not recommend this course to anybody right now.

Good challenging course but slow pace of play

Playing from the back tees made this a fun challenging course. Fairways were in good shape (some dry spots but not many) but greens were a little bumpy. Pace of play was very slow as we had to wait on every hole which contributed to a 4-1/2 hour round, however, that was offset by the price of the round.

Sticking with Blue or Gold course

The Red course is nothing like the Blue or Gold course, the fairways were brown and seemed to be lacking water. The sand traps were thin and hard, nothing like the Blue or Gold course. Greens were hard and brown in spots. Really enjoyed playing the Blue course and decided to try the Red course but after this round I’ll stick with Blue or Gold.

Stay Between The Trees

Course is in good condition as long as you stay in the fairway. There are some brown spots in the fairway but that’s typical for this time of year. Some brown spots on the greens but still rolls true (and fast). Played mid-morning and got around in three hours with no waiting on every hole. Great hot deal price made it worthwhile.

Awesome Shape in September

The course is in tremendous shape, lush green fairways and the greens are spotless and smooth. Even the sand traps are fluffy with real sand ... and we’re talking about a golf course in early September with the temperatures still near 110. Definitely worth a visit if you want to play golf on a nice course for little $$$.

Course Recovered Nicely

Played this course when they had a watering problem and everything looked dead or dying. Decided to wait a couple of months before going back and glad to say that the course is in great shape, fairways have very little dry areas and other than hole 1 and 10, the greens are in better shape than they were before the watering problem. They roll true and are not “bumpy” as they were in the past. Played on a “Hot Deal” $10 price which was a bonus. Definitely going back to play it soon.

Sun City gem

Fairways and greens are the nicest I've seen in awhile. Interesting course layout with five par threes and five par fives. Wide open course as most Sun City courses are. Best surprise was that the sand traps are fluffy sand not the hard dirt pan that you see on most Sun City courses. Played in 3-1/2 hours. Will definitely play this again.

Fastest greens in town

First time playing since they reopened, lots of great upgrades. Pro shop now looks like a pro shop, fairways are new and in great condition, sand traps have real sand (not hard and crusty like most Sun City courses), and swapped front and back nine holes. Biggest change at the moment is that the greens are lightning fast. If you want to know what the pros putt on, check these greens out before they completely grow in. Was fun to play but be ready for a lot of 3-putts.
