Great course which brings you back

Great course, average difficulty (compared to the New Course which is more challenging) but you can use all the clubs from your bag. Staff is friendly and helpful. A clublink course which invites you back.

Marshall's

No one in front off us and no one behind us
Golfing with a client, both playing well
The Marshall kept coming over ever 3-4 holes and annoying us about our speed of play
Really bad etikit....
My customer, whom I paid for the golf
And dropped over 300.00 in food and beer at the course, said he had a great day but was quite annoyed at the constant pestering Marshall
After that I was quite upset that he had that stuck in his mind

Not good at all

Great value for the money!

Played 18 holes on the old course and thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was in great shape and the layout provides plenty of variety. The greens were rolling true and quite fast.

Slow, Slow, Slow

This was a very busy weekend for Hidden Lake, when we arrived there were a number of groups waiting. Not just waiting for their tee times but waiting to get a cart. The course had run completely out of cart and you had to wait til someone returned their cart before you could get one. This should of been a warning sign. Every hole and every shot we took we had to wait. This round took over 5 hours and we had to complete this in darkness.

Slowest Pace of Play in the GTA

While I have no gripes with the staff or the facilities, the course itself has some issues. The course condition was very poor, especially the greens, granted it is nearing the end of the golf season but the maintenance should be better. The worst part was the pace of play, in my opinion you should be able to play this course in a few hours at the most , it is not that difficult. The problem when I went was that they booked and sent as many people out on the course as they could. This resulted in an incredibly slow pace of play (about 6 hours). At one point, on the 10th hole, there were three groups of 4 on the hole, something I have never seen playing golf.

In the end, I'm sure it can be a great course when it is well maintained and managed, but I would not recommend it.

Solid Course

Older style course with smaller greens. Layout was ok can feel a bit confusing though with the two courses intertwined, needs better signage.

A good round

The old course was fairly well maintained and since it was just two of us, we moved through fairly quickly. They included a yardage book which was helpful and generally the day was quite enjoyable. It was surprising however, how many ball marks on the green we're not repaired and how many divots people didn't replace - you would think for a members course, people would take more ownership. There was also one hole where an inconsiderate group wouldn't keep quiet and talked loudly through my playing partner's backswing causing his worst shank of the day. That was a little frustrating. Overall, a nice course that I definitely look forward to playing again.

Decent Set-up But Judge Value for Money

The course has a feeling of pitch & putt mixed with traditionally tougher holes in particular when there is 50 yards between some of the Blue & White Tees. The course requires more maintenance and greens more care as they are not in prime condition. I played this course only because of the value deal from Golf Now otherwise would not play it for the rack rate.

Great course

Our threesome got moved to the new course because the old course was packed, the starter suggested it to us and it didn't cost us extra. Aside from the group in front of us playing PGA your rules and holding everyone up, it was a great course and day.

Decent Course...

Decent course, for the discounted rate... I wouldn't pay their full price to play here. The greens were full of ball marks - We probably fixed 2-4, in addition to our own, on almost every hole.

There was some confusion with our booking, as we were waiting at the first tee on the old course, from roughly 10mins before our tee time, watching group after group tee off ahead of us until about 10-15mins after our scheduled tee time past, before the starter came over and told us there was a tournament playing in front of us and that they actually had us booked on the New course. This ended up working out better for us in the end, as we didn't have to play behind the tournament and the four of us played our round in under 4-hours. So that was nice.

I think there is much better value at other courses, like Crosswinds, for example.

I have played this course before but let me tell you that the greens were far from acceptable. The weather was lousy, cold and windy. Still like that course.

Great time, except!!

Only my second time playing the old course, was in great shape. Except, people have to start FIXING their ball marks. I was fixing at least 5-7 per green. Other than that, greens were nice and fast, fairways were excellent. I put average for the food and beverage as I didn't have anything. The guys I was paired up were pretty friendly, played the wrong tee's though. Oh, one more thing. Be wary of the sand traps, not too much base.
