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.

Great Improvements Underway

Played for the first time this year and was very surprised with all the improvements going on under the new leadership of Steve, the new head pro. We have always loved this course but were very impressed with how things are improving. We come out from Austin and play this course a couple of times a month since it is a wonderful and fun course. We look forward to seeing how Steve and his Staff continue to improve an already great course!!

Hidden Falls Golf Club

Played from the Blue Tee, 6,732 yards, 72.3/123 on a late, almost perfect Saturday afternoon. I live on this golf course and it was the first time I have played it. It is a residential daily fee course that allows use to use every club in the bag but little to get the imagination going. A lot of greens are protected by mounding. The par 3 holes play long, #17 has to be under the power lines and over the water. The green fee + cart totaled $27. Worth playing at that price.

Out of the way Fun

I took a shot on this course. I wanted to go and play somewhere I had never been before. It is a bit of a drive (just over and hour). GPS got me there alright, but be careful of the security guard at the gate. Even though this was my first time there. He was quite stern with me because I came into the housing addition in the wrong lane. Not sure how you know what lane to be in if you don't know that there is a guard there and need a pass to get to the course. Anyways, the staff was very helpful and friendly. The course was a fun one. No drink cart, though. I will come back and recommend to my friends. I had a great time.

Worth the ride to Hidden Falls!

Played with someone who knew the layout, which made it a great round. Course is in great shape, my only complaint was the speed of the greens was snail-slow. You really had to slam the ball to reach the hole. Otherwise, really nice track... Will be back!

Fun course

I had read other reviews and expected to not have any use for my driver however several holes were plenty lengthy. The pro shop personnel were outstanding and the pace of play was phenomenal . The locals were friendly and shared course knowledge. No bunkers , large undulating greens and a lot of dog legs . Fun course that I would highly recomend .

This course offers an opportunity to challange your game while still enjoying the round.

Course lay out requires good course management skills. Par 4s 4th, 13th & 14th holes require good club selection and ball placement off the tee. Great course for all level of players.

Nice course

Very nice course for the price. Green were very nice and rolled well. Lots of undulation which makes for some tricky putts. Fairways could use a little work but overall well defined. Would definitely recommend this course to family and friends

phone rep was courteous

not pleased though, about the bonus pts. new rules. i don't book out 3 days in advance because of my health & weather. it is bad policy not to retrograde the points which a player has accrued. Poor planning & possibly lack of customer respect on your vendor's part ,or your admin's part., should not make our recreation experiences frustrating. i like many others like to play when we want to play , not only at someone else's convenience

thnx for letting me vent

Good Course

Nice course. Easy to get tee times. Great layout and greens. Fairways need rain or watering. There are some hard pan and bare ground. I like the course.
