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.

Sand traps

Sand traps are not maintained well. They are all really hard to play, it's almost impossible to grab any sand with your club.

Good pace. Greens were long?

I’ve played here numerous times and pace of play is typically a little slow but today it was great. 4 hours. Grass on the greens was a bit long, but the greens were in good shape. Little windy but with summer temps it’s nice

Bunker is terrible

Terrible bunkers for many holes. There were so many rocks that you could hurt yourself and club. I wouldn’t recommend this course until all the bunker has been fixed.

Super slow golf carts but great course

I love playing at Hidden Valley but now just about every 40 yards there’s a caution section for the golf carts which slow them down to 5 mph and 2 mph. Some of these caution sections are even when you’re going up hill? Great course but the slow carts causes your game to be much longer.

First Time Playing

Never heard of this place a friend referred me to it and I can’t believe the views and the views of this golf course so much land course itself is tricky but overall had a great time. It’s a great course for challenging holes and shots. A lot of blind shots be aware you’re gonna lose some balls so bring some with you, I’ll definitely come back

Hidden Valley

First of all, this is a beautiful course. If you're not careful, the views can definitely distract you from your game. It's been a while since I last played here, but for a hot deal of $56 I couldn't pass it up. The course conditions were fine except the greens were a little bumpy and some bunkers lacked sand in them. Pace of play was slow because we had someone new to the game in our foursome. It's a great experience and I highly recommend this course.

Fun Course to Play

This is a challenging, interesting, fun course to play.. Lots of ups and downs to adjust for distance. Esthetically very pleasing. If you do not hit your drives straight, be prepared to lose a few balls.. Some folks do not like the layout, but I definitely do..

One last comment about the speed of golf carts mentioned by previous reviewer:: I agree cart could be faster going uphill, but very steep declines due to elevation changes. You definitely want a governor on the cart. Could easily lose control of the cart going down hill. Yes a little slow and frustrating but very necessary for safety.

I walk faster than their golf carts

Course layout is awesome and surely not easy but the golf carts have a speed safety setting g that is just ridiculous. 2-5 mph up hill? The rides at Toontown go twice as fast. I honestly think the speed of the carts added at least 20-30 min more to our round. I love this course but won’t be going back till I hear they’ve sped up these caution slow speed areas which are basically 70 % of the course.

A true golf course

It was awesome! The course was in perfect shape – super green fairways and smooth, fast greens. The layout is a fun challenge without being too tough. The scenery was beautiful, with rolling hills and mature trees – really added to the experience.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, making sure we had a great time. Plus, the green fees were pretty reasonable for what you get.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend Hidden Valley if you're looking for a great round of golf. Can’t wait to play there again!

Great course

Very nice course with some tough elevations but fun all around. Course is very well maintained but pace of play was a bit slow, would like to see a marshal help speed people along but other wise, a great course I would play again with the hope of faster pace.

Slow Pace

Every other review is correct. Nice course with an interesting layout, just takes forever to finish.

5:40 minute round. Not sure why. They pace out tee-times 10 minutes apart, which is great. Front 9 pace was OK, back 9 was crazy slow.

Kept pulling up to tee box and group in front was still waiting to tee off on almost every hole on back 9.

If you have time to waste, it is a nice course with good views. Worth it if you can get a deal, but I wouldn’t pay full price just because golf should never take that long.
