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.

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)

Windy So Cal

Santa Ana winds blowing around 15 made the day tricky. Enjoyable, challenging a bit frustrating but very essentially needed. The staff is always friendly and accommodating here. Thanks .

Great Value.

Always priced right, great track. A gem of the IE. BUT… whats going on with the greens?? They’ve been shaggier than the 70’s the last few months. Back 9 greens seem to better than front 9, but still. Other than that, the course is perfect.

Fabulous Time

My sister and friend came in from Florida and we decided to tee off at Hidden Valley. My sisters friend was thoroughly impressed with the course and was taken by how scenic the course is. We capped the round of by eating lunch in the cafe, what a fantastic experience. The food was wonderful, service was outstanding and the price was fair.

Had a great day on and off the course.

Hidden Valley Golf Review

Excellent course. Love the design. Only complaint is there is no Marshall. The pace was extremely slow. Needed Marshall’s to speed it up.

Scenic Canyon Golf: Hits and Misses

Clubhouse & Catering

The course was easy to locate, with clear signage and directions throughout the facility, making navigation straightforward. The clubhouse had a classic feel, reflecting the club's older history and established nature. The staff in the clubhouse and pro shop were serviceable but not particularly welcoming or engaging.

Quality of the Course

The course layout was unique, winding through canyon terrain, offering a distinctive golfing experience. The tee boxes showed noticeable wear, with multiple divots and uneven surfaces. In contrast, the greens were in excellent condition, featuring consistent maintenance and multi-level designs that added to the challenge. Clear and helpful signage between holes ensured smooth navigation, and many holes stood out due to their unique and memorable layouts.

Practice Facilities

The practice areas included well-maintained spaces for chipping and putting, but the driving range was disappointing. Its uphill layout hindered practice effectiveness, and the overall quality felt subpar.

Value for Money

The round cost $65, with an additional $10 for a large bucket of balls. Considering I only had time to play nine holes, the experience was good for the price, though the driving range's condition and the lack of a particularly welcoming atmosphere could be improved.

Customer Service

When your computer system goes down learn how to deal with customers better. Don’t tell them you will come out and get them and then forget about them. If I’m not in the pro shop I’m missing my tee time. We waited for them to come get us and when I went back inside your sending out the tee time in front of us.

Holiday Rates

Holiday rates the last two weeks of the year, really! Play this course frequently, regular pricing is a great value for the course, will not play again until next year when pricing returns to normal rates. should also offer military and first responder discounts.

Cant play hard courses fast. So buckle up!

Great track. Not for beginners.

Elevations are spectacular.

Courses like this cannot be played fast.

Greens were not super fast today which helped us. Lost 1 ball and shot 85. 12HC played ok.

Count on 4 and half hours if you dont get stuck behind some horrible players.

Hot dogs were excellent.

Not over priced like other nearby courses.

Good luck, enjoy, well worth it.

Great track

Is pace slow...of course it won't be fast if you consider the elevations and slope.

Play a cheap exec course for fast.

Are greens bumpy...well greens were OK but if people don't fix divots good luck trying to get a private course roll.

I've played here when they were super fast and for most players too frustrating.

I'm a 12, shot 85, lost 1 ball, 4hr 40min,

Included a 10min tasty hotdog stop at the turn. Drove over an hr to get here and worth it. Comparable course if you can find one, anywhere close, in season is much more expensive.

89.00 today booking with GolfNow.

Views are priceless if you like that stuff.

Great track never perfect but worth it.

ALWAYS beats working. Enjoy.
