By Hillcrest Country Club, June 24 - Bartlesville, Oklahoma

Club History Led by Frank Phillips in the 1920’s, a group of Bartlesville businessmen agreed to create a new country club.  The businessmen would later be known as the “Committee of 15” with a mission for the club to “foster and promote athletic sports, games, contests, tournaments, and wholesome and healthful outdoor sports for its members, and to provide opportunities for their social fellowship and enjoyment.”  Bartlesville really does mean business, and Hillcrest Country Club has always been an irreplaceable pillar of community development.  For the task of building the golf course, the men recruited golf course architect Perry Maxwell.  Maxwell was quoted “The new grounds are ideal for a golf course.  It will make one of the best eighteen-hole courses in the state.” (The Bartlesville Enterprise, January 12, 1926) The course opened in the spring of 1927, and the final cost was approximately $25,000.  Maxwell remains one of the most renowned golf course architects in the United States, and Hillcrest is one of the last solo designs before he partnered with Alister McKenzie.  Maxwell also designed Prairie Dunes, Southern Hills, Dornick Hills, Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, and Crystal Downs Country Club with Alister McKenzie. In the spring of 2011, the Club set out to restore and renovate all our greens with the intention to protect the Perry Maxwell design and characteristics.  Using black and white photographs from the 1920’s, we succeeded in our goal and now have some of the most beautiful greens in the state.  In the fall of 2018, the Club started our Caney River Water Project and in the spring of 2019 the club was finally able to get off City Water and is now able to irrigate the entire golf course utilizing the Caney River water.  Beginning in January 2025 the Club will be installing a brand new double row Rain Bird irrigation system for the entire golf course.
