Hillcrest Country Club

Hillcrest Country Club is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Kansas City, Missouri, on the south side of Swope Park.

Hillcrest Country Club first opened for play May 27, 1916. The course was designed by Donald Ross. Marvin Ferguson redesigned four holes in 1975, followed by Bill Amick, who redesigned the entire course in 1984.

Hillcrest is the only remaining Donald Ross course in Missouri. From the opening hole, which Raymond Floyd once said was the toughest No. 1 he had ever played, to the 620 yard No. 10, still the longest hole in the city, Hillcrest provids continual challenging play in a nonresidential setting of rolling hills, mature trees and lush turf. Why, even Arnold Palmer played Hillcrest back in the 60's and posted an 83.

The Hillcrest Country Club Golf Course is full of hills, so expect many lies to be above or below your feet. The fairways are plush, and the greens are easy to read and some are elevated. The signature hole is #1, a 243-yard, par 3, requiring everything the average player has to reach this green in regulation.

The club had been private for many years, but recently has opened for public play.
