Golf in September

Love the course, but with the new constructions and the difficulty getting staff the course wasn't in the condition we were used to. They are temporarily without the normal facilities. By November, this will be the greatest course in the North Bay area.

Ehhh..

So we drove about 1 hour and 30 mins to get to the place. Which was not bad because we knew obviously how far it was from us. But I don’t think I’ll return to it unless the conditions of it get better. It was wet in many places, also lack of maintenance. The back 9 were actually pretty nice. But overall I wouldn’t drive that far again to play at hidden valley. It was a nice experience just not worth the drive.

Great Director of Golf. Welcoming and friendly. Fun course!

The Director had great hospitality and treated newcomers with open arms. Very helpful. Played with another twosome, Locals John and Patrick, who were really fun to play with. Course is lush and green for being in dry area if NorCal. Can’t wait to play again on our next visit to area. Sure the new clubhouse will be done by then as a bonus.

Club house

They are in construction new club house which they did not informed. I spend 7-10 minutes to find pro shop because of poor sign. Parked car on dusty,dirt road and cross street and walk through construction area. I would not recommend untill finished construction. I rated 5 stars cause I see almost nobody playing.

Incredible greens, average course

Credit where credit is due, the greens at HVL are fantastic, some of the most consistent and smooth I've played in a long time. I was making putts from everywhere. They aren't knock your socks off fast but they roll remarkably true.

Unfortunately the greens could only take this course so far... The fairways/rough was dry, and the layout is an odd mix of interesting holes (4,9, 12,13,14,16), bizzare holes (15) and basic straight away fairways with bunkers by the green (the rest). I did like the place but for the hour I had to drive to get there it just wasn't quiite there for me.

They are building a new clubhouse which looks like it will be pretty neat when done. If the rest of the course were as well kept as the greens, (ie country club level) I'd go back quickly, but otherwise it's just not worth the drive from the Bay Area

Walked

Great value

The pro shop and clubhouse are being rebuilt so facilities are temporary. I prefer to walk but 3 holes on the back 9 were very steep so you better ride unless you’re in good shape. Conditions were excellent compared to what we’ve been seeing in the area. We drove up from Napa due to poor reviews nearby. GolfNow price was excellent. Bunkers were outstanding, greens were perfect. Only complaint is it was very hot when we played and it would have been nice if there was a beverage cart, or water coolers. The drinking fountains were not working so we had to return for more water. Will definitely play again.
