Hillcrest Golf & Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Hillcrest Golf & Country Club?

We really recommend hitting Hillcrest in late spring, around May, or early fall, like September. You'll find the course in prime condition then, with the greens running true and the fairways lush, plus you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and humidity. It's truly the sweet spot for an enjoyable round.

What's the signature challenge or 'must-play' hole at Hillcrest?

The 18th hole, a par-4, is definitely Hillcrest's signature challenge and a fantastic finish. You'll need a precise tee shot to avoid the creek on the left, followed by an approach to a well-guarded green that slopes deceptively. It's a real test of nerve and accuracy that will stick with you.

Is Hillcrest a good value for the money, or should I expect a premium price tag?

Absolutely, Hillcrest offers fantastic value, especially considering the course's consistent upkeep. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the greens and fairways for the price point, often feeling like a private club experience without the hefty tag. Look for their twilight rates - they're a steal.

What should I know about the greens at Hillcrest before my round?

Be prepared for some seriously quick greens at Hillcrest - they're known for their speed and subtle undulations. We always advise spending extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their pace; putting downhill can be particularly treacherous here. Don't be afraid to play a little break, even when it looks flat.

Beyond the golf, is there a local highlight or eatery near Hillcrest we should check out?

After your round, we highly recommend a quick drive to 'The Putter's Pantry' just a few minutes from the course. It's a local diner famous for its 'Birdie Burger' and homemade pies - perfect for recounting your best shots. It's a genuine taste of local flavor that you won't want to miss.
