Nestled along the banks of its namesake Hidden Creek, this is a links-style/traditional combination that rolls through oak and mesquite groves. The fairways are narrow and trees line every hole. The greens are fast and huge, and lakes come into play frequently along with numerous dogleg fairways.The course was designed by Stephen D. Plumer, who incorporated a few split fairways to spice up the layout.

The best hole is the 448-yard No. 8, which forces at least a 230-yard tee shot over water to a tight landing area and an approach down the dogleg-left fairway to a multi-tiered green.

Getting there : From I-20, take I-35 south, and drive 10 miles to Renfro Rd. Stay on the access road and the course is on the right side.

In Retrospect...

I hadn't played here in some time. I decided to give it a try. It was a mistake.

Course has crabgrass everywhere, course is unkept, carts are falling apart. It seems there is little effort being put into the upkeep of the course.

Staff drove by occassionally to monitor the pace of play, but did nothing else - while driving by massive crabgrass and other things that could be done to improve the course.

Will never play here again. Poor value - poor course.

If you've never played golf and want to play something cheap, this may be a good option however.

Always great!

I've played here at least 20 times and it never disappoints. Course is in great shape and the greens are perfect. Maybe the best thing about the course is the frequent presence of the Marshall. They do a great job keeping the pace of play moving.

Great for the money

Course is in good condition. It could use more manicuring but is in good playing condition. The greens putt consistently. Not too many bumps and no dead spots. The bunkers and sand traps could use a little work and players need to take them out. A little nose sand in a couple of them would be good. Players could spend a few seconds repairing ball marks on the greens and putting sand in fairways. The driving range could use some work. I'd like to see the distances to flags on the range posted.

The course is a good test and has enough tee boxes for anyone's game. (Remind people to play it forward. Beginners playing from the championship tees slows the pace of play. )

An improving course.

The first negative comment is the condition of the tees; very, very hard, and in disrepair. The greens had been aerated, like putting on a waffle iron. But that is to be expected in their effort to make keep it on its course of becoming a great course. Staff is excellent!

We appreciate your feedback. Like you stated, maintenance and aeration is necessary to keep the quality of the greens. Still, we are sorry you may have not enjoyed your round this time around. We hope you give us another shot once the aeration process has ended.

I will definitely be back. I've witnessed how this course has developed over time; I've been there from the start. I believe it has the potential of being the jewel of the south. Keep up the good work.

Great Little Course

Wasn't expecting this from a course right off the highway, but was pleasantly surprised. It seems to be consistently watered and greens roll true. Course isn't very challenging as long as you hit the fairway but has a great layout and is well kept.
