Hillcrest is a classic Donald Ross design from the 1920's on the southeast side of KC, off either US 71 or I-435 at 87th Street on the south side of Swope Park. It's a typical Ross type layout, apparently the only one in Missouri that's left, however I haven't confirmed that. Parkland style of design over rolling hills with trees lining the fairways, and small perched greens, well guarded by bunkers. It's 6,763 yards 72.8/132 from the tips, the Blue tees are 6,301 yards, 70.8/127 and all the challenge you need. If you spray the ball here, it will be a long day in the trees. The club had been private for many years, but due to the economy has opened for public play, and is a treat to play if you like the older layouts.
