Surprising
This course is very understated in both location and marketing but is a great value. Well kept. Challenging enough and in very good shape.
Amazing
Amazing course! The best greens, beautiful course, quiet, wildlife all around, staff is great and helpful, and the best part is the layback atmosphere, very enjoyable I’m 550 miles from home and I’ve been here three separate times in two months and I will be back in a few more weeks, it is that Amazing!!!
Fun golf day
Course was in great shape, love to play there when I am in town
Hidden Valley Lake Golf Course
The only thing keeping this course from being excellent is the bunkers. They suck. Especially the bunkers with red sand. I have to rate the course conditions as good at best. Fix those bunkers, especially the red sand bunkers and then I can rate the course conditions as excellent! I hope they keep on eye on these ratings. Fix the bunkers, its not that expensive to replace the red sand with white sand.
Great Day at HV
The course was in very good shape, greens were fast but not dry. Love Hidden Valley, by far the best Lake County golf course.
Find Hidden Valkey
Always fun, staff great, been lucky with pace of play.
Hidden Gem
Beautiful track. Front 9 is fairly flat but deceivingly long if wind is up. Back 9 winds through surrounding hills. Beautiful views from 12th green and the 15th tee box. Will be back to play again soon.
Fun
No waiting, helpful marshals even helped us find our ball
The best
It started to rain so we just stopped for a wile had a drink at the 19th hole .. back out we went . I love the corse I live at this place ..
HVL Golf Course
This is Lake County's only 18 hole golf course and the best one in the county. The course is maintained well for the most part. Sometimes they can't mow the rough because of rain and it sometimes gets very thick to where you have a hard time finding your ball in it. The white bunkers are average but are much better than the red sand bunkers which are horrible. Sometimes when your ball goes into a red bunker it skips out from lack of sand. There was talk of them removing the red sand and putting in white river sand but to date it has not happened. Stay out of the red bunkers at all costs. The front nine is flat, pretty much wide open and has a few holes that are hard to par consistently. The back nine has a lot more character with elevation changes and more interesting holes. You would think it would be easier to score on the front nine but for some reason I score much better on the back nine. Generally speaking the golf course is well maintained with the exception of the red bunkers and the greens are always in good shape. In the summer the course can play very fast with a lot of roll, which I like. The staff is helpful and friendly and the food and bar are very nice as well. I play here a couple times a month or more, weather permitting.
Great place to play
Greens are in great shape and the staff are the best around
Great Course
I live in Calistoga. We play at many corses from Mare Island to Napa to Oakmont to Petaluma and beyond. HVLGC is the best course in the area. Greens are challenging and always in great conditions; the course drains well the fairways are long and challenging and the staff is welcoming and friendly- Love to play at Hidden Valley!
Winter
This is a great course year round. But especially great in the winter. Just got 3 plus inches of rain 3 days ago and only a few holes were cart path only. Greens in great shape and totally receptive. Fairways had some bounce and roll out. All and all great golf, food and beverages.
very nice golf course
Very enjoyable course. front nine is walkable but cart needed for back nine. However views on back nine are fantastic. All in all a great course.
Favorite Golf Course
Course conditions , Tee boxes, fairways and greens , are great!
Staff are helpful and friendly.
HVL has become my favorite course to play.
Great layout and excellent conditions
teed off at 10:30 on Sunday morning and played the round in 4 hours. Greens were flawless Clubhouse was very friendly and had one of the best Bloody Marys at the turn i've ever had . Overall excellent course great layout very friendly staff
Great course ... tough but fun
Played here many times . In good shape don't like red sand traps . I think one of the harder courses to score well on . Will play again . S
