Hillcrest Golf & Country Club occupies a rolling site northeast of Eau Claire, its fairways running through a mix of open meadow and stands of oak and pine. The course follows the terrain rather than fighting it: several holes climb short rises, others drop into shallow valleys where wind moves differently. Fairways are bentgrass, kept firm enough that shots tend to release rather than plug, while the greens are cut tight and roll true. Water comes into play on four holes, mostly as small ponds that guard approach shots rather than dominate the landscape. The layout rewards placement over distance; several doglegs and angled greens force players to consider angles instead of simply aiming at the flag. Bunkers are modest in size but strategically placed, usually catching shots that miss the proper side of the fairway or green. The clubhouse, a low brick building with a modest porch, sits near the first tee and offers a clear view of the opening holes and practice green.
Hillcrest Golf & Country Club currently has (within 1 mile) no homes for sale. The average annual property tax for Hillcrest Golf & Country Club is $2,813.80.
