Hidden Falls Golf Club is a Leon Howard design that opened in 1974. The course cuts through a pecan grove on the front and what seems like an ocean of water on the back, creating two totally different golf experiences. Howard uncharacteristically left out water on the tight, pecan-lined front, with the wet stuff in play on only one hole. However this one pond plays a role in the best hole on the course, no. 4, which features a pond and waterfall in the landing area off the tee. No. 4 is rated as the most difficult. The more open back nine is dominated by water. No. 10 starts off with a drive of 200-yards-plus over the pond fronting the tee. A small creek comes into play on the next three holes, which lead you to the other signature hole, no. 14. Water lines the left side of the 14th, and the approach is over a small pond. If that's not enough, the final three holes all feature water in play off the tee.

Another good day!

Course was in good shape for the time of year. Greens were a little more soft than usual , but were smooth. A few muddy spots from recent watering but nothing that interfered with the greens. A beautiful day and a good round of golf!

First Time Playing

Hidden Gem

First tine playing this course. I was blessed with getting matched up with James, who had played there a few times. The course driving range was average at best, but the balls were free with the round so I did not mind. You were hitting off hald dirt, half crabgrass. The pitching and putting area however were very nice. The course itself was in fairly good shape. Most of the fairways were lush. The greens however were also lush.....They were rolling about a 7. They had not been cut in days. It makes it hard to score when the greens are inconsistent. To be honest, playing with James made my day. We matched each other home to hole. I think we both went about 10 over for the round. The course played fairly short. I think I used my driver maybe 5 or 6 times. Lots of dog legs in both directions. It made it challenging which I love.

Great course for the money!

Had an 8:40 tee time on a Wednesday morning, pace of play was phenomenal, even getting paired with a slower partner we finished our 18 in a little over 3 hours. All the staff was extremely friendly from the clubhouse to the grounds crew. Only complaints I have are just me nitpicking, greens had small clumps of crabgrass growing all over it, but honestly what central Texas putting green doesn’t? Fairways were decently maintained and all for less than $40.

Rough fairways

Fairways look like the rough. Hitting out thick grass in the middle of the so called fairways. Not good.
