Bring your leaf Blower

I was half joking when I said it to my playing partners the more I think about it the more it makes sense give yourself a chance at the birdies and eagles

No fault of the courses but due to the time of the year the greens have a ton of leaves and sticks in the helicopters on them so do yourself a favor and clear your self a path and enjoy the gem

Great Fall Golf!

We picked a great day to play 18 holes on the Old Course at Hidden Lake. We played from the blue tees and the course was quite tight with a lot of trees lining both sides of most fairways. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition especially for mid-October.I would definitely play this course again!

New course - a nice quick 9

Played the new course as the old course was slow with a tournament. Course was in great shape, the greens deceptively slow.

Slow pace

It may have just been bad timing, but the pace of play was tedious. 9 holes took over 2 hours !!!
I had a tee time of 5:33 and didn't get off till 5:45pm

The course itself was in decent shape and had some challenging holes-I will try it again.

GREAT ROUND, COURSE PLAYS WELL

The course plays really well, i little bumpy on the fairways, but greens are in good condition. A little curious how a Clublink course is so easily available to the general public for $60.00 a round on Golfnow. Will definitely return, love the Old Course, it has a lot of character.

Walked

Easy and relaxed round

Hidden Lake's courses are both fairly easy. This time out I played the Old Course at a pretty decent deal.

Historically, I've avoided this facility for anything but an early round due to the horrid pace of play that I've experienced before. With a 1pm tee time, I was paired up with three gents, all riding - I elected to walk - and it's an easy walk. We walked off the 18th green at 5:05 pm. That's right! A 4:05 round on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the height of the season. I was shocked and rather happy with that time, not so much with my score.

The old course is a classic style course - smaller greens, tighter fairways. It's still very easy as the facility keeps fescue and longer grasses down, so if you're hitting way offline as I was, you'll still be in play. The sand was amazing - I've played at much higher end courses and been disappointed by the sand - not here; it was just the right depth and firmness to be playable. The greens were rolling true, but not so fast as to make putting an exacerbating experience.

I'll likely be back and will hope for a similar pace of play experience.

I was expecting more from a Clublink course

A nice established parkland course. The weather lately has been good for the turf - lots of sun and rain and this course was not in as good shape as many of the other courses I have played recently - especially for a Clublink course. The fairways were wide and forgiving - no problem for any level of skill, not much elevation - easy to walk if you wanted some exercise. Nice length to the holes but the fairways were quite bumpy in a cart. The location for the next tee boxes were well marked. Greens were fast and true. This was just an average course and not worth the premium price that they charge. There are a lot of other courses that I would play before I played this again.

Never disappoints

Love playing the Old Course at Hidden Lake, it had been a number of years since I had played there but it was still enjoyable and challenging. The conditions were very good and the mature Old course never disappoints. A great day.

great beginners challenge course

Played 18 holes on the old course and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't hydrate or eat enough and that caused for a bad back nine The course was in great shape and the layout provides plenty of variety. The greens on some holes were rolling true , other were bumpy and about average.

Great course for beginner

Excellent course. My wife is a beginner and she enjoyed immensely. There were no one behind us that was pressing us to play fast.

Staff were courteous and understanding. My wife does not feel comfortable pairing up with other 2 some and starters were accommodating. I truly appreciated their understanding.

Old Course is great if you're still learning

I've played this course a few times jn the past. Some of the fairways had dead/bare grass but where there was grass if was well maintained. The old course is nice and open,helpful if you're still trying to learn the game. I played in a twosome at 1230 on a Tuesday. Took is 3.5 hours wirh a cart. Great pace

Good Start

It looks like some investment in preparation this year has paid off. Greens have come in much faster this year. Overall course shape is good based on weather so far.
