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.

Course in pretty good shape. Greens have been aerated, but rolled pretty well. Pace of play was painful. Many holes had one group on green, one on fairway, and two at tee box. Tee times may be spaced too close together here? Of course, that’s the way they can get more in course.$$. Overall still an ok round. We always enjoy the people at this course.

Nice course

After 3-4 inches of rain they allowed us to start at noon. Course was really in great shape with a few pools. Nice layout. Just keep it in the fairways.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Great fairways and bumpy greens

Fairways are in overall great shape. The tee boxes are hurting. The greens are fast but receptive as expected at Hidden Creek. However, the greens are the bumpiest I can recall over the past few years and putts don't roll true. I recommend giving this course a few weeks to a month for the greens to fully come in. The course condition is regularly among the top courses in the Panhandle and a great value, and I'm sure it won't be long before it returns to tip top shape again.

A Friendly Place

This is a shot makers course. Not too long, but accuracy is a must. Greens running fast and true. I had the pleasure of being paired with two ladies that are members of the course. They were very helpful and patient with an out of towner. When you get to the pro shop, Give a shout out to Sandra, she's the best. You'll enjoy this round.

Ok layout. Zero water on back nine. Front nine is better than back. But still only a three star course

Hidden Creek Navarre, FL

Other than a few spots that are currently being repaired, the course is in great condition! The greens are so fast and the fairways are very nice!

Pace of play wasn't very fun as we were waiting a long time on every hole and had people right behind us as well. I guess that's understandable though when so many people are trying to play a very nice course.

What Happened?

Have played here for 25 years. The greens were renovated from scratch about 8 years ago and were the best in the region. But when I played yesterday, they were pretty bad, extremely bumpy, spots of Poa Annua grass in the greens. The tee boxes and fairways are even worse with Poa taking over everywhere. I can't believe they are letting this happen. Did the course superintendent leave for another job?

What happened?

Poa anna everywhere , tee boxes are uneven, bunkers are not maintained or small lakes, greens need aerated and watered. Disappointing because in years past this course has been pristine. Hope things come together soon ...
