The Club at Hidden Creek is one of northwest Florida's most treasured courses. Opened in 1988, it is still relatively young but it has built its reputation on it its well manicured greens and lush landscaping. A few years after opening, a local newspaper ranked it the best golf course in northwest Florida. The course features tree-lined fairways that tumble across scenic rolling terrain. The challenging golf course once served as a host site for the US Open Qualifying Rounds. Water hazards come into play as well as several strategically placed bunkers. Although seasoned golfers are kept on their toes, the layout is more still approachable thank to four different sets of tees. The Club at Hidden Creek has a longstanding reputation amongst the local community and many would consider a visit to the Emerald Coast incomplete without it.

Great day of golf

Today was a very hot but very good day of golf at the Hidden Creek Golf Club. The course was in really great shape including the greens. Although the greens were hard and very challenging it was a very enjoyable round of golf. For the money it is in a standing value. If you get a chance play the course. The only issue we had was the snack bar closed at 3 and was not available for grabbing a mid-round snack and drink.

Great round

Good weather for golf. I played with my golf buddy and we were able to move at our pace the whole round. No waiting no pushing. The fairways were good as well as the greens. My buddy got his first birdy. Good day all around.

Awesome!

Finally! The Red Tee Boxes are decent! Thank you for fixing them! This course has the best greens, fairways and layout of all courses in a 75 mile radius. The course marshal was seen frequently to keep pace of play moving. The cart lady as well was seen frequently and was very courteous. Im so glad that this course is part of golf now!

Terrific course; odd setting

If you only come here for golf, you'll be thrilled. While there seemed something odd about the neighborhood, the probably too big and bizarrely designed clubhouse, the course is first rate. Someone else here said this would be well over $100 if it was on the coast and that's correct. The greens rolled beautifully and fast just a couple of weeks after getting punched; fairways were excellent. The layout - especially 7 through 18 - was outstanding. The holes on the back 9 have a beautiful flow, the trees are cool, etc. Put simply, the golf course is absolutely first class and deserves to be played. Staff was very friendly and courteous.

Great day golfing

Not my first time at Hidden Creek. The course is in good shape, Having a cart included in the green fees balance out the warm weather. In August in the S. East it will always be warm, so no worried there. Check in is easy, The staff is very friendly. The hot dogs at the snack shack are a great treat as you turn the front 9. Enjoy

Hidden Creek

We were able to play the club at hidden creek this morning. The fairways are in the best shape I have seen and the greens were fast and in great shape.

If ever in the Pensacola area I highly recommend finding time to play this course.

Awesome course!

This course is the bomb! Amazing greens, great fairways! Great price!! The conditions of this course are as good as courses you would pay $100 to play.

The reason it is cheaper is because it is not on the water.

Amazing course

I played this course on Sunday July 22, 2018 while I was on vacation. This course is in amazing shape. They are owned by the water company and it really shows. Hardly any dead grass. Green roll very true and aren't bumpy. Fairways are lush and green. Tons of sand on the course. The course itself isn't super challenging but it is very fun to play. The sand makes it different from other course since there is so much. I would highly recommend this course. Very good price for the quality of golf you get.

Bad Management

We had a group of 5, and the course was empty. However, for some off the wall reason, the manager has now forbidden groups of 5 to play. I could understand if it's high season, but give me a break. It was 90 plus and the course was empty. You need a class in customer service.

The head Pro has been under a lot of pressure to stop allowing 5somes. Regardless of your contention that there was no reason to enforce the no 5some rule, 5somes always play slow and back up the course for the rest of us. 5somes are seldom curtiouse enough to pick up their pace or invite groups to play through.

Course in fantastic shape!

Hidden Creek is a must play if you are in the Gulf Coast area. All tees, greens, and fairways are in excellent shape. Carts are always clean and the staff is friendly.

Fantastic golf course while on vacay

While planning a vacation for Navarre Beach my father-in-law and I started to look at various courses in the area where we could squeeze in a quick 18. This became quite the task since there are so many great courses in the Pensacola/Destin area, but then I found The Club at Hidden Creek. This course was thrown to the top of our list based on proximity to our condo (14 mins.) and price ($42 for weekday). After doing more research on the club’s website, which is layed our quite nicely, we were set with tee time. I was more than satisfied with this fantastic course. From the layout of the course to the friendly staff, this course is a must play while in the Navarre Beach area. Great course, great price, great times! I will be playing this course again the next time I am in Navarre!
