Nice track ...

I had heard that Hidden Lakes was a nice course and I was not disappointed. The vistas are great. The course is pretty well maintained and a great test for all ranges of golfers. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Decent course to play

Although it turned out alright, the place was just chaos from the get go. To many people booked for that Sunday. had to wait to get a cart. The play turned out okay. It took just over 4.5 hrs. Course was in good shape, played the new course. Overall experience was okay. Course you would play once or twice a year.

Ready to Play "Ready Golf" at First Tee??? ... Very Unreasonable.

Unsatisfactory course management and customer service.

We all know playing golf and teeing off in the early morning is one of the best feeling, and that is why there is a premium price on those tee times. We don't mind paying it because there is something money can't buy ...

That said, what money should buy and what we expected for our premium price would have included friendly and competent staff rather than rude and inconsiderate marshalls demanding golfers to play "ready golf" at the first tee because management has over booked the course and the schedule is tight.

Even though the request seems unreasonable and not fair ... we still obliged, as did all the other groups. It didn't bother us too much since we decided to just play it through knowing very well that we will never return again.

We must say that the course layout is very nice and the greens are well maintained. It is a beautiful course that is not too challenging unless you are teeing off from the blacks, which we did after waiting to tee off on every holes.

Nice course but they seem to neglect the salient things that can make a great course become the worst. There are so many better courses out there for the premium price.

A decent course that is well maintained and a bit open.

I actually really enjoyed my round at this course. Its been 15 years since I last played it and not much has changed. Greens were in great shape with good speed and fairways in pretty good shape. The course isn't the toughest, that's for sure, but quite enjoyable and has that casual golf club feel with a nice patio outside and many people enjoying themselves.

Hidden Customer Service

Me and a few buddies decided to try this course out. We usually play 3-4times a week and looking for a course to make our regular course.

Won't be this one.

Greens are nice and fast...but diseased.
Beer cart girl came around for the first time as we were putting out on 17.
The twosome in front of us didn't have anyone in front of them for 3 holes but took about 20+ mins on each hole.

As for the pro shop...We booked through golfnow...only to pay for the cart on top - when it was supposed to be included.
Then when we tried to re-round they wanted to charge us MORE for the re-round then they did for the initial round!
Just because we booked through Golfnow.
I don't like being treated differently because I'm a golfnow customer.

Funny thing is someone else had the same feelings about the course but we dismissed it.

We and the dozens of other golfers I golf with will NOT be returning.

This course has good potential to be a top rated course.

I have played Hidden Lake for many years, both Old & New course. I find the service has deteriorated slightly in regards to amenities. The halfway house was not fully stocked with food (hot dogs, sausages, sandwiches, etc and only had a selection of chips and chocolate bars. The food cart was not seen on the front nine and only saw it once throughout the round. Many of the ball washers were without water and in ill repair. Despite these issues, the course is still a good trek and challenges most average golfers.

value OK

booked 2 people on golf now but last minute 3rd person joined us. Course would not allow me to add 1 more to golf now which made 3rd person pay $25 extra. Greens, and fairways all maintained. Tee boxes not cut in few days. Traps not all raked. Overall an acceptable day for the price paid.

The Patio

Move the back tees from the patio. It's ridiculous that you have to sit there and cut your conversation short every time someone is about to hit. I like to have a drink after my round and enjoy the company of the people I played with.....

Nice 18

The New Course at Hidden Lake is an excellent track. The layout is both eye appealing and fair. I think that any golfer would enjoy playing here, regardless of skill or experience. The course was in excellent shape, even though I was playing in the middle of a week of high humidity. I'll be checking for more deals here in the future.

US Open Set Up?

The course was in good shape, however the rough was higher and ticker then usual. It took a few minutes to find each ball that was hit even a little into the first cut. It felt like a US Open set up.

The staff were good, it was a Monday and as it turns out that's Lady's Night, The staff worked to help us get out so we wouldn't be affected by the potential for slow play.

Course in great shape

For this time of year the fairways were excellent, the greens had been top dressed but still ran true with a little variance in pace. Overall a great day.
