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.

The course needs immediate care. The greens are dirt.

Played the course with my son this past weekend. The pro shop had very little merchandise, including balls. It looked as though they were going out of business? The last time I played the course, it was well kept, course was very nice, but now it's in very bad shape.

nice layout, needs work

Nice course with generous landing areas on most holes, not too much water. I understand it is under new management, and the greenskeeper neglected the greens. They are in bad shape, which is a shame, because other than that, the course is in really good "florida winter" condition.

nice layout but greens were very slow and bumpy, fairways cut to the nub

the course is under going a management change according to the golf shop. this course could be very nice with serious investment into the ground keeping.

Poorly Maintained

Was in great shape this summer but has not been maintained since. Pace of play is awful; groups of 3 or 4 walking will not let singles driving, play through. I do not recommend this course.

Good course.

I have played this course regularly for the past four years. It is usually in pretty good shape. The greens are in less than good shape right now. They look like they are recovering from aeration and are somewhat bumpy. The bunkers could also use some work, a lot of grass and not raked very well. Still, it is a pretty good course for this area considering the price.

Greens Rebuilt excellent condition

Hidden Creek under new owners and as such money invested in course. Use to play this course but quit because of poor maintenance, however, course is now back to its outstanding and challenging self and have played it 4 times since new investments. You will not be disappointed in playing this beautiful course.
