The aptly named Hidden Valley Golf Club feels secluded set between two large hillsides, amongst carefully preserved boulder outcroppings, ravines, and an abundance of native flora and fauna. The challenging layout demands accuracy and it will also test your shot-making skills. Golfers should expect to utilize every club in their bag. The golf course features tight fairways lined with mature trees, tricky doglegs, and multi-tiered greens that can be difficult to read. The rolling terrain also promises difficult uphill and downhill lies. Bunkers are strategically placed throughout and there is water on a few holes. A windy day adds yet another formidable element to the challenging design. The diverse layout has a mix of difficult par 3s, reachable par 5s, and a few birdie opportunities. Hidden Valley Golf Club will definitely test your skills, but five sets of tees make the course more approachable to a wide range of skill levels.

Worst Condition

Worst condition I’ve seen from HV. The tee boxes were muddy, dirt, uneven. The fairways torn up. The greens were fluffy and not kept. Bunkers were full of water and mud. Just all around terrible. Not to mention, had ground keepers getting in the way. Definitely not worth what I paid for. Im staying away from HV for awhile until they can figure it out over there.

Overrated

Green are slower than any municipal course. Check in staff is slow and rude. They over book tee spots and don’t spread their tee times out.

Only positive about the course is the layout.

Course is absolutely embarrassing

The shape of the course is awful. The greens are in good shape but the fairways are completely dead. What happened to this course. I used to play here all the time years ago. The worst part is I called prior and asked the pro shop how’s the shape of the course and I was told it’s in decent shape right now. If you are going to charge $90 a person you should at least be honest of the conditions. I would be embarrassed to invite anyone tk this course.

Pace was HORRID with no marshals in sight

Pace was HORRID with no marshals in sight. Finally figured out that four groups in front of us were a couple of newbies who were sha**ing shots and just dropping and trying again. Saw the foursome do that 3x on 11 and realized that’s why it took 3 hours to play 9 holes. Called the pro shop to figure out and they said they’d send someone out but still had to wait 20 minutes to tee off on 10. Couldn’t finish 11 and had to leave early, because it took so long. A marshal would seriously help with this sort of thing.

Otherwise, my favorite course in the IE. Sucks that pace of play is a regular problem there.

Always a challange

Very nice course and not for the faint at heart.

Lots of up and down and lots of blind shots.

It was wet that day, so most holes were cart path only, making it very difficult.

A Good Challenge

The course overall was incredible. The views from every hole were amazing. The difficulty was through the roof. Because most of the holes are on a hill, it made it very difficult on the stance. However, the most challenging of all was the wind - upwards of 50mph gusts. It was not the ideal day to play, but still beautiful. The pace of play was also slow, but that could've been due to the wind (5h20m)
