Great Value; Well-Maintained, Straight forward
Very nice public track. The greens and fairways are well maintained and it is set up nicely for the average golfer.
The back 9 is definitely more interesting and picturesque than the front, but the front is more open and forgiving.
Worth 1 hr drive from Santa Rosa
Tee boxes, fairways and greens are all well maintained. Played from white tees and not a boring, flat track. Some greens well elevated and most have bunkers right and left, 15th tee box waaayy above the fairway. Creeks and ponds come into play on several holes. Very fair course with wide fairways on most holes. Pace was about 3-12 hrs, but probably due to 11:15 tee time since it can get hot here. This day was nice though, mid 80s with a breeze. Will play here again.
The 15th is one of the greatest views of any course anywhere.
I had a great time playing. Although I was a single as it was late in the day and everyone was mostly a foursome or two that asked me to play through, the course was not crowded and it was a very enjoyable day, warmer than I would expect late in the afternoon. The greens were challenging and in good shape and the fairways were in good shape as well. I will be back. You probably don't want to walk this course because of the back nine; unless you really want a hike. The terrain reminds me of the Texas Hill country with some really great vistas.
Great Bargain, Friendly, Low Stress
Great course. Relaxed atmosphere. Great to be on an 18 hole championship course and not be pressured by high strung golfers on ego trips. All very mellow and very friendly. Other golfers were very nice and talkative. Love that type of vibe.
#15 hole worth the money alone!!
I'd pay the green fees again just to play the 15th hole again. What a view! And then theres the tee shot! The sign says it all, "Good luck"!! Lol. Beautiful course. Greens were a little slow but still rather true. All in all, very pleased with my experience.
awesome
Great course from the blues. Challenging holes...first hole is a beast of a par 4..course flows well..great staff..highly reco!!!
This course is fun, scenic & challenging
The course is in great shape and the greens are in excellent condition. Paired up with 2 other singles and had a fun round. It makes you think about your next shot and is a great value.
good course
Tee time was bunched behind us wasn't off 1st green and had someone hitting into us. Other than that great course beautiful landscape staff was great.
Hidden Valley
The course played tough. Rough was LONG. Greens were to slow for my liking. Let slot of putts short. Besides those 2 things...A great deal and beautiful place.
very nice
We went when they were working on the greens and only played back nine but loved it, cant wait to go back and get full course. #15 is awsome! Easy birdie with nice fade shot.
Great day
Even though the greens had just been plugged, the overall course was in great shape.
Awesome course, great views, plenty of space for some errors, and great price on golfnow.com
I have played many Courses all over the state of California, and this is easily one of my favorites. With all the long holes, and the cliff shot on the back which is right after a hole-in-one par 3, this is a great course of many different ranges of challenge.
First time
The course is in average shape, but has some interesting holes. Some of the homes around it are pretty run down. Overall for the "hot rate", it was a deal. It ranks one below Ukiah, which is also more money.
Bang for the buck
Great value and a quality layout! Cant wait to play again!
In great condition!
Hidden Valley is in outstanding condition! 90 degree cart rule and the fairways are in mid season form. While it was very windy, the greens are rolling well and the rough while lush, is mowed and also in mid season form.
I picked up a $17 hot deal and this course is well worth the drive (if you don't live locally) and plays long and fair from the tips at over 6700 yards, one of the longest around. Most par 4's are 400 plus yards, the longest at 461 yards. The par 3's on the front at 189 and 210. The par 5's are a great place to make up ground on your score and are reachable or easily have a short club in your hands for a third. Make it through the front 9 at over 3500 yards and then play the back 3100 plus to make up some ground. A great course with some great scenery and a challenge from the back at 72.5/125.
Good course and plenty of challenges with lots of elevation changes
They had a frost delay the day we played but the course management did a good job getting us out on time and working with the weather. Course had been mowed and all the greens were in good shape.
Very accommidating staff
My friend and I were running late for our Saturday morning tee time so I called the Pro Shop to let them know and see if they could push our time back. I spoke to Rick at the Pro Shop, he was understanding and accommidating. Overall, I thought the course conditions were above average and will be back.
Great course
Aside from one hole where the tee-off is elevated high above - and out-of-sight of - the fairway (you will lose your ball on the drive so just whack it as hard as you can) it's a great course with a lot of variety.
Nice and easy course.
Enjoyed playing. Nice and easy course. First nine flat wide open fairways. Second nine more calling and fun.
