Club at Hidden Creek, The
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great Course
Would play this course a lot if I lived closer. great great great.
Course drying out
Low humidity and wind have dried the course nicely. Greens fairly fast.
Fun Course.
Great course with friendly staff. They have cart service and a snack bar. The lounge serves drinks but no food. Still nice sitting on the deck, after golf, sipping a cocktail.
Fun day
Course layout is tough and need to play more than once to figure out. Course could have been in better condition, but most courses are suffering this spring. All in all a good day
Improving
They have finished their excavation/reclamation work on one hole in particular, and that in addition to the arrival of spring, have improved overall conditions.
Great day for golf
That's a very nice day playing golf in hiddencreek met some nice people Mike and Betty they were delightful always enjoying myself at Hidden Creek. I do wish the restaurant would reopen hopefully they'll find someone to bring in there soon!
Fun day with friends.
Course was in good condition with a few bare spots in the fairways compared to Summer golf when pretty lush and full. Pace of play was good and course was busy. All the staff very friendly. Every hole seemed to have challenges!
Great golf course
Course in great shape, greens are very fast and roll true, highly recommend. Thanks
HIDDEN CREEK IS HIDDEN GEM
FIRST TIME AT THIS COURSE AND FOUND IT TO BE A VERY PLAYABLE TRACT. GREENS WERE FIRM BUT TRUE. FAIRWAYS WERE WET( ON SOME HOLES) DUE TO THEIR UNUSUAL PRACTICE OF WATERING. PACE WAS SLOW DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND NO MARSHALLS ON THE COURSE TO ENCOURAGE SLOWER GROUPS. OVERALL WE LIKED THE COURSE, THE STAFF AND WILL BE BACK.
Slow slow and slow
This is a good course but the pace of play is painful
Looking for balls unready golf and uncaring about the groups behind you that are being held up is a big problem on this course
They have Marshall’s but they are ineffective
When there are multiple open holes in front of a group, you know the Marshall isn’t doing his job
Hello, and thank you for reviewing our course, The Club at Hidden Creek. We strive to provide the best possible customer experience to our golfers, and we apologize if we missed the mark due to the slow pace of play on the day of your round. We hope you will see improvements the next time you are with us. Thank you for choosing to play our course, and we hope to earn your business again soon.
Fun Friendly
We have played here before and it was a pleasure to come back
Slow as molasses
I brought a friend to play it was his first time at hidden creek. The course was in decent shape for mid winter. Soggy in areas due to recent rain but overall good. The issue was the people in front of us or a couple groups ahead we’re playing exceptionally slow and we’re never approached by a marshal to speed them up subsequently we weren’t able to finish our round. Got too dark to finish the last couple holes. Very disappointing and a waste of money. I really like this course and will play again but maybe they can move things along in the future
Lastly we came in at the turn about 330 and was told the restaurant moved out and the snack bar was closed get it together people
Great friendly course
Really enjoyed the playability of course challenging yet fun.
Pace of play dropped the ball
Slow play by members backed up the course and Marshall was too chickenshit to urge them on
I'll play Marcus point next time
Good Morning Sir,
Thank you for your feedback and we apologize if the pace of play was too slow for you. We were very busy in the morning and had a small member Valentine's Day event in the afternoon. I noticed you left us a great 5 star review a few weeks ago with all "Excellent's and Good's" and we appreciate that. Next time you have an issue, please contact the Pro Shop during your round to give us a chance to rectify the situation before writing a bad review. Please feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions or want to discuss this matter further.
Very Respectfully,
Jamie O'Connor
