First Time Playing

I'm glad I made the trek from East Bay

The course was wide open on the front 9 - both pace and layout. Both tightened up on the back, but that is where you see the unique layout of the course. Greens and fairways were in nice condition. The vibes are chill. It was a good time and I will make the trek again with friends in tow.

In great shape!!

Played in the afternoon as a local tournament was wrapping up. I didn’t know about the tournament. Pro shop staff was absolutely awesome. Because I checked in early and said I was going to warm up, he told me to hit some balls and check in with him before my scheduled tee time. I did and he started me on the back early as it was clearing up due to the shotgun start. He was very nice and was all about me getting a good experience in. Course was in great condition, smooth greens and plush fairways. 5 stars.

I thought I paid when I got there, the staff said I reserved my foursome and being a senior charged me 50:00 instead of 64: wondering if this is right

Not sure if you charged my card. Let me know

Don’t want to pay twice!!

An absolute hidden gem of a golf course!

Settled in the quaint town of Hidden Valley Lake lies an awesome course with even nicer employees and locals. The front 9 meanders through the course’s surrounding neighborhood before sending you out the back 9 with its elevation changes and dramatic views of the surrounding valleys. The back & front 9’a couldn’t be any different, but I mean that in a nice way. The Head pro Richard and Austin the assistant pro there are very pleasant to deal with should you need anything during the round. Played it in a somewhat wet January but the course was still very playable. Can’t Waite to play this this spring!
