Hillcrest Country Club

Worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Played with a Groupon that was supposed to come with range balls and the range had no balls at all. I told the staff they were out and his reply was «yeh I know» and he did nothing about it. Therefore, I picked my own balls from the range so I could hit some… Then they were way overbooked and my 12:32 tee time didn’t go off until after 1. Course was so congested it took over 6 hours to play. Don’t waste your time or money on Hillcrest

Location is not the best but this club must have been happening in its day. We played there for $ 25 which included range balls. The club was in pretty good condition. Greens were nice and so were the fairways. The design was tight but slightly open to the point that your way ward shit could be rescued if it landed on the adjacent hole.
Our cart GPS did not work but it’s a pretty straight forward course. I would defiantly play here again.
Extremely worth it when the rates are so low. If they raise to around $ 35 area then I would probably play elsewhere.

Hillcrest is a golf course in transition, and little by little it seems to be turning itself around. I played this last year and it was in terrible shape. This year the course looks better managed, greens and tee boxes are in a lot better shape, and the experience was much better.
The track has a lot of fine holes, mature trees put shot placement at a premium, but give opportunities for a few errant shots. Better bring your A game out of the shoot, as the first hole, is 235 yd par 3.
What I ultimately see happening is, Cerner will buy the course in 3 years and make it into their company track, at that point it will become a stellar track that everyone in KC will want to play.

I’ll add a star because Rachel seemed to like it. If the Bride likes it, its a good wedding place.
School for me.

I am the bride of the wedding reception Paul M. attended on Sept 21. The catering was NOT done by Hillcrest Country Club, but instead of Kansas City Catering. I was also upset that the twice-​baked potatoes weren’t there (but it’s not Hillcrest’s fault — KC Catering forgot to bring them) — anyway, that’s for a later post on KC Catering.
We chose to go with plastic — but Hillcrest offers beautiful formal dining sets. Some of us are on a budget.
You can bring in your own caterer, but no outside alcohol was allowed.
HILLCREST WAS AMAZING! April was the Event Coordinator. They had a lot of decorations on hand — including many, many types of vases & table number card holders. The view from the room was of the green where we took a lot of pictures with my husband. We kept decorations to a minimum with just a large candle as the centerpice on each table with a few votive candles around it. The room was glowing with the over-​head lights dimmed!
They have a set of stairs by the dance floor and we used them for our grand entrance.
I had a blast — and yes, I remember all of it. If you’d like to see our wedding video to see what it can look like it will soon be posted at
I gave 4 stars as all the times I visited prior to the wedding day it smelled like bad air freshener. I mentioned it to April and they changed the freshener they were using. During the reception I couldn’t smell the odor, so I was happy.

i took my son who has a tournament this weekend to get in a practice round in. i made a tee time and the guy told me it was 15 dollars for a junior to play nine holes. when we got there the guy charged me 25 and told me the guy made a mistake. i was not going to argue with him i was just going to Unilocal.i got the imprecision that one is rude while the other is incompetent. this may be the first that they have been Unilocaled but golfnow has given the customer service a below average rating. the coarse is a nice older coarse a little hilly for my taste but has some scenic holes. playing it in the early spring after we got some snow and rain i really can’t comment on the condition. i will say this, the putting green was terrible. after this tournament it will be the last time we will go to this coarse. lots of other places to play in the city that are close by to this coarse that you don’t have to deal with staff’s poor attitude.
