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.

The course was in winter condition. Good value for the money. Greens were all in excellent shape as were the fairways. Does need some upkeep on ball washers on the tee box.
A fun layout, great fairways and greens
One of my favorite layouts in the NW valley, great fairways and greens, traps and ‘rough’ leave a lot to be desired, but worth time to play it (be prepared though, can be a slow).
I like this course
Played this course last year and it is in the same condition. Great layout, nice greens, some bare spots on the edges of the fairways. Staff are top notch and pace of play is good. It is getting rundown a little so could use some money being spent. But this would increase the price above what people can afford to play. This is a great course.
Great layout
The front nine is pretty straight forward and love the challenge on the back nine. Fairways in good shape and greens were a little slower than normal. All in all, really enjoy playing the course.
Long time
For a decent deal on green fees. Course in good shape. Bunkers were a bit hard and could use better sand. They are replacing ball washers and getting more bathroom facilities. Still a fun track!
Fun course
We enjoyed playing Hillcrest. Pace of play is great given course tee setups. If you miss fairway the course is more like a pasture, ha. But fairways and greens were in excellent shape.
Great Layout, Maintenance??
Hillcrest is a gem that has sadly lost its former glory. This course used to host a Champions Tour event. Though the fairways and greens are playable, the rough is usually barren hardpan or whispy grass. The cart path is often laden with deep holes, tire tracks or mud puddles. I assume the course simply doesn’t have the resources to upgrade the rough areas. It certainly has a following as the course was full on a Friday afternoon. Maybe an investor will come along and throw some money at this course someday.
Good shape
Fairways were good. Greens were rolling good. Fun coarse to play.
Would Consider Replay
I am a senior golfer that plays whites, not super long off the ters but not ready for golds. That being said i found the back 9 to be longer to the flag than typical. Made pars a real challenge for me.
The course maintained very well. Course is forgiving in the fact that there really is not a rough. If you can't keep it on the fairway but close, the 2nd shot is not a problem off the short dry grass.
Overall a very nice outing for the cost on my golfnow app.
This course is the best value in the area.
The fairways and greens were in perfect shape. The course layout is challenging for all levels of play. I will bring friends out to play here.
