Hillcrest Country Club is a private 9-hole golf club near Adel, Iowa that overlooks the scenic Raccoon River Valley. The golf course is a par 70 with 4 alternate tee boxes which provides you the feel of playing an 18-hole layout. The course is fully irrigated and has a large pond that comes into play on holes 7/16 and 8/17. Another unique feature of Hillcrest is that tee times aren't required, so you and your friends or families can walk on and play at your convenience.
