The Hillcrest Golf and Country Club was a 92-acre golf course and private country club located off of Oxmoor Road in Homewood, on the present site of the Palisades shopping center.
The country club was founded in 1883, serving Birmingham's German Jewish community. It merged in 1969 with the newer East European-Jewish Fairmont Country Club to become the Pinetree Country Club.
The land was also the former site of the Zamora Shrine Temple before it became the present day shopping center.
