Hidden Lake Golf Club - Old Course

Tee boxes are flat and standable , fairways are in good shape , greens are just about perfect , a few burn out spots here and there. The trees are in great shape considering last winters ice storm ! It makes golfing more comfortable waiting in the shade than in the sun . I'll be back !

Course was in pretty good shape,except the rough needs to be cut down a bit as balls tend to disappear 2" off the fairway. Great weather & overall a fantastic day. Will try the new course next time.

Just perfect! First time playing the course and I had a lot of fun. Great shape and nice layout.

Course was in good shape, second time this yr. greens were quick. We had a great time. This course over all is a 4 STAR.

Overall experience was good, but some of the greens were in bad shape perhaps as a result of the extreme cold this past winter.

The rough was definitely a penalty stroke as it was long and heavy. It made locating balls very difficult to find and somewhat unfair when missed drives were 2 feet off the fairway.
The course still had a closed green #9 making the $75 charge unfair in my opinion. Numerous greens still had significant winter kill and did not roll very well for a Club-Link course.

Since the wife was busy on Sunday evening, I decided to see if I could find a great deal. I found Hidden Lake with a cart for about $34 taxes in. I jumped on it and almost had the course to myself, finishing 18 holes in 2.5 hours. Good condition, considering the ice storm during this past harsh winter. No complaints as there was limited green damage and the price was right.

No practice putting green available and no chipping area either both as a result of winter damage. Played the old course - several greens still in rough shape and was told the new course also badly affected - perhaps a golfnow alert should be posted about these conditions.
Otherwise fairways and tees in good shape. Slow round and not a Marshall in sight for the 4 3/4 hrs we were out.
I could only recommend the course in its current shape if you find a good deal - less than $35

Fairly challenging traditional layout. Lots of blind shots. foursome in front of us were 2-3 holes behind. Marshal actually watched them but did nothing. Used to play this course quite a lot pre Clublink days. Perhaps the change to Clublink is responsible for the lack of player pace management by marshalling staff. Won't bother playing here again. Shame as I really used to enjoy playing it.

Greens are in terrible shape. Maybe 8 good greens.

We played the old course. The course looks like it had a tough winter, as a lot of the greens are in very poor conditions. 2 of the greens have been moved, but be aware... they have not moved the distance markers to the new green, and our whole party shot way over the temporary greens.
There are a lot of bare patches on the fairways as well.
For the amount you are paying, there are much better courses in the GTA and surrounding area.

Given the late spring in the area and the very wet weather conditions in the days previous, the course was in good shape. Even the temporary greens still in use were well groomed and it made sense to play them out.

Our threesome was made up of average golfers and none found the course too tough, but quite challenging in every respect. Loved the variety of holes and would be happy to play here again on another visit to the area.

I've always liked Hidden Lake but was not very impressed with my most recent experience. It was amazing golfing with my 2 sons on my 50th birthday, but course conditions, including 4 temporary greens, did not warrant a charge of $190 for the three of us.

Hidden Lake course condition is very bad. lots of winter greens. other greens are in bad shape.

pace of play slow marshall's not doing there job.

Because of the course conditions not good value for money

In the middle of the summer im sure it is a decent average course. Was disappointed with how many temporary greens were in play (5 or 6) with no knowledge of them. But overall when those greens are back to good for the right price I would consider playing it again.

It was nice to get out and golf but the course wasn't ready and there were a number of temporary greens. On some holes where you couldn't see the green clearly you would take a shot based on the yardage indicators. Then you walk up and find that they moved the green up on the fairway and your ball is on a tarp covering the real green. On some temporary greens on the fairway I was literally putting through divots.

It would have been good to know this in advance.

This course, I believe, is open until the latest time of year, and that's why I played here yesterday. I know that they hold several official tournaments, but it's not because their Old and New courses are better than other public courses in the area. I played in the New Course and felt like walking around in a limited span of space, trying to find the next hole, like doing a maze game. When there's a hot deal available on Golfnow, it can be good for practice, though.

Overall this is a good course with wide fairways and no water in play. The fairways are in very good shape and the sand traps are quite nice. The greens and tee boxes were aerated in the past week or so and there were alot of leaves making balls hard to find at times. Also, the course can be confusing finding the next hole.

My foursome teed off about 10 minutes early, but the pace of play was slow. Up to 10 minutes on some holes. A 'players assitant' came out only twice. The group in front of us quit after the 10th hole & we discovered there was a huge gap in front of the next group, so WE skipped a hole and the pace was good until we reached another slow group. C'mon people, if no one is in front of you and you see a group always waiting behind (if you're paying attention), speed up or allow the group to play through. I also blame the course for not taking care of this. That said, the course was in great shape and the greens played fast. This was my 1st time playing the old course & I am impressed. Will definitely play it again. Hopefully in less than 4 3/4 hrs, which is why I rated it a 3.

Love playing the old course...great fire deal on GolfNow...whilea great course think a bit over priced...a bit of slower play on day we played than normal..overall course was in great shape from tees to greens....would come back to play...
