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.

Tee boxes need some work. Fairways OK. Greens - most were punched. All needed to be mowed. The carts had speed restriction between holes on the downhills that were at a walking pace - frustrating. Overall, a fun course to play - nice layout, interesting unique holes. Carts had a very nice GPS system.

Amazing Course

Great course for the price conditions were good one of the greener courses around. Tee boxes were a little beat up but could still find some grass. Went out right after a tournament Sunday afternoon….sigh another 5+ hour round of golf. Best round of my life however!!

Punch holes and Sand on green

There's no green to putt due to maintenance. Only 4 out of 18 green were not covered by thick sand. But overall the course is very interesting. A lot of blind spots make the drive need to be more conservative.

Needs work

The system to pay was down and the older staff is a bit slow. Needs maintenance on course. Pace is not fun. Would not play again.

Pace of play, omfg

Play this course a million times, slight dog delay of 30-40mins for an 845 tee time. No biggie, you're there, where you going? However, there were 0 marshalls on the course. Par 3 5th had 4 groups waiting, plus the 4sum on the green. There were hacks hitting 2 and 3 balls every shot. Pick up or skip a hole. 6hrs from 1st tee shot til putt out on 18. No joke. Conditions great otherwise

Good Course

Greens were slow due to probably waiting to punched and air rated! Fairways were in good shape, played from the tips, Must keep ball in play. expect a 5 hour round unless you are the first out or if there is no one on the course. I had to call it out after 17 because I had to leave for class, Other than that, still a great course and decent for values! I would like some of the slow down zones on the course to be adjusted.

Pace of Play

Worse time I have ever had golfing. 3 sets of 4 players that all knew each other and were holding hands on every tee box. This is some BS, I left after 11 holes that took almost took 6 hours to complete

Beautifully designed course and amazing views

I haven't played here since 2021 and I'm so glad I came back! The course is in amazing condition thanks to the recent rains. The course is very challenging as there are tons of hills/mountains as the golf course is built on the sides of mountains. The extra slope makes it extremely challenging (at least to me) and for me, it is a yardstick. If I play decent here, I can expect more from generally flat courses. I had a lot of fun, hit some crisp shots and it was very memorable. So much green!
