Club at Hidden Creek, The
About
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.

Worth the drive
Even though it’s a few miles off the highway you will be pleased. Good value. Very interesting course. Enjoyable, yet challenging and fun to play. A lot of sand around the greens but the greens are big. There is water, but if you play smart you should be ok. Everyone was friendly and helpful. For a colder than normal Jan. the course was in good shape. Have played here several times and always a good experience.
Good value and very friendly and helpful staff
Weather for December was very good, need light jacket only. Course in good shape and especially the greens. Great value at this price and very enjoyable day.
Super again!
As usual this course does not disappoint. We play here a few times a year while on vacation in Navarre. This is by far the nicest course in the area. Greens in fantastic shape and fairways are spot on.
As usual my only complaint is the Ladies Tee boxes. They are just awful, nowhere near level at all. The mens were better but not by much.
Excessive charge for rental clubs. ($40.00+tax)
I was told that they would be brand new calaways.
They were old dirty demos. ,
Sand
Challenging course. Lots of sand traps. Fun to play.
Worth the drive
This course is removed from commerce and situated in an upscale housing addition. A bit out of the way, but well worth the effort.
Highly recommended...
Great course layout
Great lay out, great greens, great staff. Ladies tee boxes need to have some serious attention.
Snack bar inadequate
A couple weeks ago at snack, girl flat out lied and said they don’t allow her to have onions out there, even though we have had them in our hot dogs several times before, this week at 12:40pm no hot dogs available. We had to go inside and it took 30 minutes for us to make the turn! Totally unacceptable! Obviously need need new F&B management!
Excellent greens
75 degree day in December. Greens were perfect. No wear or burn. Absolutely beautiful condition. Lots of sand traps. A few water holes. I played with a friend and both of our carts were in rough shape mechanically. They were clean but had squeaks and bad brakes. Other than that little issue the experience was great!
poor bar
bar and food closed when we finished golf
even though the posted hours said it should still be opened not very professionally run
Beautiful course
Nice course with some difficult holes for our level. Fast greens and fairly forgiving rough. A couple areas were a little soggy.
Overall had a good round and would golf here again. Staff very nice.
Great course layout
Friendly staff, great fairways and greens. If they could redo some of the forward tee boxes,(ladies) especially tee box #3.
A bucket list must
Have played this course about 6 times over the past two years and it is consistently well groomed, with a friendly staff, and very reasonably priced.
If I had any apprehension about recommending this course it would be that the greens are very difficult to read.....but that could just be me. I would be grateful to have feedback from others about this....
Always a good experience and worth the drive.
A tune up
Having not played this course in over 25 years, I didn't remember much, but it was in excellent shape, greens were a nice speed. A little wet on some fairways due to some earlier in the week rain. Overall course in great shape. I was using it as a tune up for a tourney later in the week. Booked thru Golfnow and met some nice people from Kentucky...made me play harder. Lot's of sand, so accuracy off the tee is a must.
