Good for practice

The setting for the course is lovely. It’s inexpensive. The staff is exceptionally friendly. The greens were in decent condition, though there are a few that need some serious TLC. Some of the fairways are washed out, with giant trenches encroaching on the field of play. The 7th hole was virtually unplayable because of those trenches. On the whole, this is a decent place if you’re just looking to practice mid-iron shots and chipping/pitching, or if you’re trying to teach a new player how to play. It’s fine for a laid back day with some friends. If you’re looking for a serious test of golf, though, there are many courses in the area that are superior to this.

Tight course, weird conditions

First time playing those course. Entire staff was very friendly. Conditions were weird... some holes were in great shape and others were wiped out. One fairway in particular, #7 I think, was a minefield. But good value for the money. It wasn’t my favorite course layout but I’d play again for the value.

Short but challenging

Hidden Valley is a course that needs a lot of TLC, and it appears the owner is striving to provide that. Lots of potential to be a really fun course. Most of the greens are in good shape. Some of the fairways need work, but seem to be under repair. So, maybe down the road, this will be a course worthy of a $30-$35 fee. Right now, though, it is a $20 course, and no more. For that price, I’m willing to return here on occasion as a part of my rotation.

Some of the views are fantastic and the layout is ideal for someone who doesn’t drive it a mile but still enjoys a fun challenge. Again, great potential. I hope they reach it.

The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. But the reason for my low rating is the course itself was in pretty rough shape. The greens were OK, but everything else was disappointing. Fairways are not well maintained and clearly had not been cut in several days maybe weeks, and even the first cut of rough had a lot of out of control growth that made it very difficult if you missed the fairway. Tee boxes were also in bad shape, and cart paths are really rough. I guess you get what you pay for and for the money it's a good value and like I said the staff was great and make it worthwhile to come back, and the course conditions improve I'd give it another shot.

Oldie but goodie

Good course to just get out and work on game. It has come a long way and is improving. Greens are nice except for one or two that have some spots. Fairways are growing grass except for #7 which is an ongoing project. Bunkers are well kept and like having your own rake in the new carts. Nice touch. A good value with golfnow or without. Love the deal $19 for round and 3 beers. Go check them out.

Course looking good.

Course has come in well. Bunkers need some work. Senior tees still need more grass and to be leveled. Had a fun round and will be back.

Fairways look better than they have in a while. Tee boxes too. Some of the greens needs some work. Always enjoy playing HV!

Looking much better.

The course is looking the best it has in a long time. Not perfect but certainly playable. Hoping one day they will level the tee boxes (yellow tees). No. 7 still needs a redesign. I will be back.

Excellent value, kind staff

First time playing Hidden Valley. Out of our way to get to but worth the drive. Welcomed by extremely kind staff. Course was in fairly good shape for December. Not perfect with rugged cart paths but value for sure. Will definitely play again. Also love that junior golfers are encouraged to play along complimentary with paid adult.

Improving

I’ve been going to this course for a while before I’ve written this review. It is always improving. The course itself is forgiving and a bit challenging. The greens still need work but the owners have really stepped up their maintenance. I have really noticed a marked improvement on the greens and the course in general. Love the new carts. The concession area is still very lacking. Not sure what can be done but maybe an agreement with a microwaveable sandwich company. The kinda warm hot dogs and so so chili has been a deterrent for eating at the clubhouse.

Getting Better

Although not quite there, the course has soon good improvement from a few months ago. A majority of the greens where in good shape and were a little quick. No. 7 just needs a redesign if it is to get better. I'll be back and hope the improvements continue.
