Hidden Valley Lake Golf Course

So, my dad came up for a relaxing weekend, and a round of golf with me. It's been 20+ yrs since he played this course. Our scores definitely did not impress, but the experience did. Course is in fantastic condition. Friendly staff ( getting more rare), pastoral setting, and almost driving the green on the signature hole made the day unforgettable! Happy Birthday Dad!!!

No clue who's rating this place 4+ stars. Good supervision from the marshalls, Greens were perfect, bunkers needed to be edged badly, inconsistent sand in all the bunkers (some had a strange red gravel in them and others with traditional sand) fairways decent but had lots of weeds, dead spots and swampy areas, tee boxes good condition. Front nine was a total bore, flat and really basic. Signage, ball washers and tee markers all beat up and old. Tons of houses on every hole, all trashy looking with junk all over the yards. Back nine was better with some really nice holes. I'd say there's about 4 decent holes out there out of the entire 18. The rest are completely unremarkable. This is not a course for advanced players. Lots of pony tails, tank tops and blue jeans on the course too. Clubhouse was a dump. Gas golf carts annoying. One of the locals told me it's the only course in the valley area. Maybe that's why it's getting such great reviews, zero competition? Whatever the reason was, I'm seriously not seeing what all the fuss is about. First and last time playing there.

Even after the long summer of heat the course continues to play a great very Lush fairways and greens are flawless staff is friendly finished my round in 2 hours and 20 minutes excellent restaurant onsite. Definitely worth the drive to play

Course is in great condition with the nicest group of people running it. Would recommend it anyone

Wonderful staff! The front 9 is just an introduction to the back 9. The two couldn't be more different! This course is fun, challenging and rewards good shot placement. Greens, tees and fairways are in excellent condition!

What a great experience!

The course is fair. The staff is friendly and the pace of play was not an issue. I'd play here again.

We took off at 2 and we were done at 435 .. no one in front of us and no one behind us .. the corse is in great condition for this time of the year.. nice staff as well ...

This was the second time playing the course. While there were many wet spots still remaining on the fairways, the course was in very good condition considering the huge amount of rainfall that occured the prior week. Greens were in great condition. A very pretty , challenging and playable course.

COld cloudy rainy and I still enjoy this course. I love the solitude of winter game of here.

The staff is great and. Very helpful. Nice bar and clubhouse too.

One of my favorite Northern California courses for the money.

I'm excited to play again.

This course is about an hour drive from my home, but well worth the drive. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape, but the rough was a little long and caused some delay due to looking for golf balls.

The summer has passed,but this course's condition was like it was spring. I never had a bad lie. The greens were great. They rolled true. There were three in our group, and we never caught the group in front of us. We paid little, but I believe it was worth far more. I definitely will play this course again. Hidden Valley Lake is a real gem.

Good course, always enjoy it. In good shape, but unfortunately we caught it the day after the greens had been punched. It'll be fine in a couple of weeks I'm sure.

Had a great time. Interesting course

The staff at Hidden Valley are courteous and helpful. The course is always well maintained.

Beautiful place to play golf, clean air fresh cut grass birds chirping. This course is rewarding yet daunting. A place to see where you stand.

I have played this course every time I come to the Clearlake area and normally it's in tip top shape but not up to there standers due to management having issues with the greens keepers but they are back on and they the greens and tee boxes are coming back. Leave the workers to do what they know what to do.
