Hidden Valley Golf Club

We had another humbling round at Hidden Valley, and it never gets old. The views are amazing and the course is still pretty well kept, considering the greens were punched. One of my favs for sure.

On this day, due to green maintenance, the play fee was about half. This high discount is very thanksfull

I went to the golf course with my friend and his wife on 10/01. When we entered the lobby, we did not receive any welcome greeting. My friend came to California from Chicago to see me, but I was ashamed because of them. I told them to this golf course is pretty good. I was disappointed. Other than the staffs, everything was good.

Course in fair shape. Greens recently aeriated so tough conditions.

Had not played here in a while and after playing, realized why. Most tee boxes were in bad shape and the greens were like putting on broccoli. Pace of play was slow and we waited on most tee boxes and shots for at least several minutes. If there was one positive, the fairways were in decent shape. For $84, it's not much of a value and won't be back anytime soon.

Enjoyed the course and would come back again. Nice condition for price.

I play here many times,but this time I was not satisfied . Fairway requires maintenance, the green so terrible!

Always fun to ply here … even though it was oddly windy the day I played I still managed to shoot a 74 …

Let me start with this. The course layout is awesome fore the price. Lots of elevation change and bends to make for tough club selection throughout 18. Also not a bad holiday price for $60.

That is about where the fun ended. The greeting staff was cold and couldn’t hold a casual conversation. The driving range is up in a hill and is max 175 yards. The putting green was soaking wet and so hairy I wish I had a sledge hammer as a putter. Some of the greens were so bad that we had to move putts to other parts of the green so we didn’t have to putt through damage. Lost but not least were the cart governors. It is a hilly course and I understand speed bumps and governors for the most extreme parts. However, The course had constant and over the top speed control with speed bumps all around. Made for a frustrating driving and yardage gathering experience. They must have a hardcore insurance plan for cart crashes.

Going to find other courses from now on.

Play this course frequently during daylight savings time Mon-Fri for $30 but like so many other courses from the COVID golf boom they've decided to COVID gouge those of us who have supported their course for years and are now charging $94 on Sat & Sun vs. the $70 they used to charge on the weekends. I get to the course 15 minutes before my 8:15 am Saturday tee time this past weekend so running a little late. They now have a cart guy managing who gets what cart which is completely new to me. I'm throwing my bag, etc. on a cart so I can run into the pro shop, check in and head to the putting green to at least putt a little before the round. The "Cart Dictator" tells me, sir you're putting your clubs on the wrong cart. I explain I'm just throwing my clubs on so I can run in, check in and pay but somehow now they care about which cart you take with 30+ lined up in from of the Pro shop. I'm taking the first cart at the end of the line, not trying to take one halfway back, or at the end. I check in, get assigned a specific cart #, sign for it and head down to the first tee. Now there's a starter at the first tee, ok great. Let's keep things paced correctly and know who's up next, etc. I park the cart next to the putting green on the cart path and this guy is telling me I can't park where I have and need to park my cart at a specific spot on the cart path. Are you kidding me.... we finally tee off and I'm expecting the course to be in immaculate shape since I'm paying nearly $100 now to play there. Get to the first green and find the greens haven't been cut in a week, ball marks everywhere, slow and bumpy, etc. Guys, drop the gestapo to get a golf cart, what's the need. You had 30 carts parked to choose from all lined up. AND don't try and tell us where to park the cart at the putting green just before the first tee. I was way behind the first tee, behind the cart that was next on the tee as I was up next so why this guy felt he needed to tell me a specific place to park my cart which was no more than 20 feet away is beyond me. I haven't been there 10 minutes, just paid $100 to pay and I've got two guys bossing me around for no reason whatsoever....AND if you expect people to come to your course, pay your COVID gouging $94 to play and expect them to come back, make sure those of us playing on the weekends for that kind of money walk onto a course in $100 shape.

Surprised at the overall condition of this course. Patchy grass in fairways and some funky grass taking over on numerous greens. Greens were long (could be due to heat) and rolled slow.

It's all playable, but this course has looked better.

Tee boxes were really bad. Sand traps are with no sands. Greens were bumpy & super slow. Fairways grasses were long & need to be cut.
