7/14/04 - At first appearance it seems innocent enough. There is not too much water or sand to contend with and it's relatively flat. However, my scores on this course are never much better than when I play a Bear Slide or Prairie View. The reason it simple: it's tight and extremely well manicured. Old trees line almost every hole and will effect your score more than any sand trap would. The fairways are near perfect. Extremely short and much different to hit from than your average public fairways. And then there are the greens. Always fast and in immaculate shape. This is a great course that, if you can pipe it straight consistently, is easy to score on. Start spraying, however, and you're in for a long day. Great club, great staff and an excellent golf experience. - Jeff Robinson

The greens at Hillcrest are some of the fastest I have ever played, and where in top condition. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The new club house is one of the finest in the area. All in all, a tremendous course and an outstanding facility that caters to the golfer as well as the family.

4/11/01 - Despite the fact this course is only around 6600 yards from the back tees, you'd better bring your straight ball, or you will post a big number. Greens are A-400 bent and are known to be among the best in the state. Keeping the ball under the hole is advisable. Course condition is always great, however, the fairways have been a little moist. Terrific new clubhouse. Great family club with out the snob-factor found at many private clubs.
