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.

As expected

We played a week before the scheduled aerification, as result, the greens were bumpy and super slow. Some of the tee boxes were being worked but in a month or so the course should be tip top. Looking forward to playing it in May.

I have played this course many times.

Arrived 12:10 for a 12:20 tee time to find three foursomes waiting to tee off. We teed off at 12:50. Waited on the first sixteen holes. The fairways are good, the greens are very slow and bumpy. We finished our round at 6:15 a 5 hr. 25 min. found.

For the price, worth it...

Efficient check in process, friendly employee.

Had to wait for carts, they were busy.

Ordered food to take on the course, very good.

Pace of play., brutal, 5+ hrs, jeez...not a Marshall in sight.

Fairways were good, greens a little shaggy but very playable. Bunkers had hardly any sand, hard pan and pebbles and mud...really ?!?

I won't be in a hurry to return but the price was right.

A+++ for the employees, every interaction I had was very positive, knowledgeable and curteous. You made a long day somewhat tolerable.

Have played this course many times.

First time for this.

Had a 12:20 tee time, arrived at the first tee ten minutes prior. There were three foursomes waiting to tee off ahead of us. Finally, teed off at 12:50. Pace of play very slow, for the first sixteen holes. Finished 18 at 6:10, 5 hour and 20-minute round. The course is in very good condition, the greens were very slow and bumpy. The brake lock on the cart we were given did not work.

Pace of play

Played course for first time since before C19. Was excited to play, but found out at time of check-in that there were multiple tournaments playing the course that day.

Let me first say staff was pleasant to engage with, but

there wasn’t any instructions given to the tournament players as to what holes to start on, etc. we were NOT part of tournament.

We had 3 tee times in our group as well, so our rounds ended up being 6 hours instead of 4-4.5.

Still really like layout of course. Conditions were okay based on time of year.

Hope to have better experience if play in future.

Nice course good value

Had a wonderful day here. Pace was a bit slow but we all know how that goes. Greens were slow and felt like they needed a mow, but otherwise really nice conditions. Only critique was they seemed understaffed. Only one woman working the bar who seemed stretched thin. Didn’t answer the phone to take our food order at the turn so we had to settle for hotdogs which was exceptional with plenty of toppings/condiments. Overall a great value and I would come back more if they let me book as a single, but they don’t.

pace of play

The course is highly recommended to play. The greens were a bit slow and sneaky to read it. Generally, it is a good course but the only problem was the pace of play. I played on Wed, probably it should not be but it took so long time and had to wait for minutes at every holes. I hope it will be improved on my next visit.

Good, but the greens are currently rough.

Always a good round here, but currently the greens are rough and "bobbly" and the grass is too long. The restaurant was excellent!

Fantastic for the most part.

This was my first time playing this course. Even on the drive in you could see how beautiful this course is and it only got better playing around the course. The fairways and greens were some of if not the best I’ve played in the area. The greens were sneaky hard to read and broke more than they looked. I can’t say enough good things about the course itself. The only gripe I had with the course was the pace of play. An average round of golf should be 4-4.5 hours for a longer round. The round here took over 5 hours and 45 minutes of it were spent sitting in a cart waiting to hit. No martial was out speeding people up. Tee times are stacked 10 minutes apart causing slower groups the hold up every group behind them. The corse could do with an extra few minutes In between rounds especially on a weekend when it’s at its peak. Other than pace of play I loved everything about it. Will definitely play again.

Stunning

What an amazing experience, the course is one of the best I have played in the USA. The views and course layout is exceptional. Each hole gives you something different! The stand out experience was the staff greeting when I checked in at the pro shop!

I was paired up with Rick a great gentleman that works as a course marshall. He made the round even better! Thanks Rick and the team at Hidden Valley!!

Great course as usual, pace of play poor.

My dad and I played a 1:30 tee time here. Great course as usual and has enough time to hit the range and get a drink before the round. Supposed to tee off at 1:30 and tee’d off at 1:45ish. Two twosomes paired together. Only thing fast that day was the consumption of said drinks. Pace of play was terribly slow. We followed a foursome group who had 3 from the whites and one from the red. Didn’t matter their pace, three groups ahead holding the pack.

Always love playing here but clearly they’re stacking the tee times too close together without anticipating slower groups.

Unprofessional Customer service

For the first time I have ever been told I can’t play golf as a single because the other 3 golfers did not show up. 4 sum behind me, I would of never held them up but they would not allow me to play. They told me to come to pro shop for a refund. Unacceptable after I just drove 70 miles to golf and paid for my green fee. The GM was an absolute joke. Made no sense on his reasoning why I couldn’t not play.

Great course

Course was in great shape. The greens were clean, some slower than others. I’ve played this course many times and pace of play there is one of the worst. This last time was average for a nice, public course. We were out in about 5 hrs.
