Rating 74.0

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.

Cut the greens

The greens were very long but still rolled somewhat quickly, they were super bumpy though. They either cut at .175 inch or haven’t been cut all week

FANTASTIC TWILIGHT VIEWS

Had a 1230pm tee time for a Sunday in December. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

It's worth noting to not check in until 30 minutes before tee-time.

They have a driving range which is functional but is more of a hill with Yardage markers than a traditional driving range.

The practice putting green and chipping green/area is massive and gets you ready for the tricky greens on the course.

The greens this day were running slower than usual (around a 5 or 6, usually closer to a 10) and could've been cut truer but we're consistent across all 18

The course itself has no shortage of elevation changes with hardly any flat portions. The fairways are well-kept, undulating, and challenging, so newer or less experienced golfers may want to hone their skills.

While the views on this course are always breath-taking, this course at sunset is awe-inspiring!

Crab grass in the rough is pretty bad

Course layout is challenging. Crab grass in the rough by the greens and fairways makes it very hard to use irons. Front staff could be a bit more friendly. It's terrible that they don't have any ball cleaning units anywhere on the course. Course was very wet on top of that.

We were 40 minutes behind pace when we decided to call it quits after 14 holes. Slowest round in a long time.

Good time, great foursome

We play Hidden Valley about once a month. Always enjoy ourselves and feel it is a good value. Wish something could be done with the programming of the carts doesn't make a lot of sense. Highly recommend the bar and restaurant at the course.

A fine course in good condition

Mid week this course is fine to play, but getting stuck behind beginners is frustrating. This is not a course for beginners!!

Extremely windy and on top of that almost a six hour round!

Slow play just added to our frustration with the 30 to 50 mile an hour gusts of wind. Wind can be excused but slow play with no marshall is not good.

One of My Favorite Courses

This is a great course, beautiful scenery, and is very well maintained. Many holes are wide open which will help accommodate beginners like myself. For the price, I think this course is definitely a steal.
