Too busy

Nice old school corse with lots of trees and great greens. Too many high handicap players though keeping the pace slow with no marshalls to push them. Glad I did not pay full price.

Par tee on

Excellent course with challenging holes and wonderful scenery. Had a great round with no waiting whatsoever. All around a very beautiful course. The greens were a bit challenging with undulations which made for an interesting round.

Decent course, unorganized staff and entitled members.

I have played this course 3 times and every time it has been the same thing. The Marshalls are unorganized and are barely a presence on the course, the staff are slow and it seems from the cast waitress to the halfway house they never have all the products they sell in the club house. The course is in decent shape, however, the sand is very hard and barely groomed, the greens are not equally cut and dressed from 1 hole to the next and there is alot of burnt fringes and tee boxes. The worst part of this course is the fact it is ClubLink, even though it is a public course the members feel they are entitled to do as they wish. I will not be returning to this course or any ClubLink course for that matter.

Except for the unreasonable starters, we had a great day!

Thank you to the pro shop staff! Thank you for a smooth and friendly check in and also for all your help with finding new golf shoes (on sale! whoo hoo!) for my wife and me. Thank you to the maintenance staff for the excellent golf course conditions and for being so friendly during our round. We are also happy that the weather was perfect!

My wife and I play Hidden Lake several times a year, both courses so I trust that you will find our complaint reasonable.

That is, our sole complaint that day is with your 2 starters .We booked a 7:30 tee time and arrived at our golf cart 10 minutes ahead but your starters angrily told us that we were late and had to tee off at 7:21. They didn't tell us when we checked in with them around 7 am when we had lots of time to spare (so we went back in and bought shoes and balls). Even after our shopping, we were still ahead of time. The starters were griping that it was a busy day and that they needed to keep things moving and that WE needed to keep THEM on time. That's ridiculous. We were early and were ready to tee off for our scheduled 7:30 slot. Eventually the starters relented and sent the 7:21 twosome off on their own. Nevertheless, they continued to be pushy so we teed off a few minutes early because of that.

Despite their concerns that the course would be packed, the Old Course was in fact quite empty that day so I ask you/the starters, "What's the problem? Why the rush? Are you assuming that we would be slow? ... perhaps because you looked chauvinistically at my wife?"

In the end, my wife and I were very happy to play by ourselves as a twosome and in fact, there were no other groups behind us and we saw only a few groups. We completed our round in 3:15, so well ahead of pace.

Despite the starters, we had a fabulous time and in fact, we would have given perfect 5 out of 5 scores across the board had it not been for the starters.

Tee times too close together.

Impeccable course, the only real downfall is they stack the tee times way to closely together so someone is always hitting up your tail. Not a super relaxing round, but great course to play.

True Greens

I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Hidden Lakes ( old course )

Great Staff and the course was in great shape especially with all the rain that we have had.

Most importantly the greens roiled true!!

I hope to be back shortly !

Best,

Greg

Avoid Hidden Lake

-The pro-shop moved my tee-time from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. without my knowledge.

-When I asked the Pro-shop why I wasn't contacted they said that the incorrect phone number was on file, which isn't the case.

-Told the pro-shop that I didn't require a cart but they charged me anyways.

-Moved our two-ball from the New Course to the Old Course and forced us to play behind a Men's League

-Took 3 hours and 20 minutes to play 12 holes....Walked off the course.

Always enjoyed playing at Hidden Lake pace of play could have been faster

Arrived for 4pm course was packed solid and pace of play was at a snails crawl. Club house allowed me out as a single and I quickly ran into a road block as pace of play fell off dramatically. Luckily the marshal allowed me to move to the new course where I managed to enjoy my round. Thanks to the marshal.

Hidden Lake Review

The course was in excellent shape for being one of the first courses open in the area. The layout is a bit confusing where all the holes converge so pay attention to the signage or you'll end up on the wrong tee but there were only a couple of holes where they needed safety fence or the tee and green were too close together. The designer put the trees and bunkers in all the right places so accuracy helps but the old course is fairly open so can be forgiving as long as you are not near the exterior of the course where it is all old growth. This course is usually more expensive then I like to play but this was a good deal for the early season and I can see that they spend money on their facility and courses so I might be back. The hidden lake was quite scenic and overall a pleasant atmosphere.
