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.

Average course.

I have played this course many times in the past. I have seen the course in better shape. Right now the greens are not in real good shape overall. The fairways are alright but not as good as they once were. All in all the course is average but great for the money on golf now.

Nice Course, SLOW Weekend Play

I've played this course a couple times on a weekday during the summer, but hit it on a weekend for the first time this past Sunday. We had 3 players, and the pace of play was ridiculously slow. I mean there were 4 & 5 somes all over the place, and not once did anyone offer us through. I don't know if they were locals, but their game was not very good and they took forever. And we did not see a Marshall anywhere, so we were just stuck sandwiched between these groups taking about 20 minutes per hole. It was seriously almost a 6 hour round, and we usually play in 3 to 3 1/2 hours tops. Otherwise, it's a nice course in great shape and plenty challenging. I just do not recommend playing there on a weekend!

Missed the Hidden Falls, but all else OK

Primary difficulty is length, course in great shape.

Needs some fairway bunkers to toughen up.

2 1/2 hour round?

played 2 days after christmas and it was cold and misty/raining so course was empty. got a hot deal for 10$ bucks, so i got a great deal. wanted to pair up with somebody but course was empty because of the weather.my 1st time to play it so i had to hit some clubs off the tee box i normally wouldnt have due to numerous doglegs and houses on every hole. the back 9 is the more challenging because of the water you have to cross.the greens were in great condition for december. im in that area about once a month and definetly will be going back

Wide open but challanging.

OB galore. Accuracy off the tee is important because long irons & woods for 2nd shot is not uncommon.

Great Time

A very enjoyable round. Familiar with most of courses in area - course was in very good condition all things considered. In a couple of weeks the greens should be great (just over-seeded). Played from red tees and had fun. Playing forward made the course interesting, had to use a shorter club than normal and play target golf.

TIP: Get a copy of the course setup from the clubhouse (free). You'll need it to figure safe distances for drives, layups, etc.

Interesting Course

Two different nines. Front is in a housing area. Back is more open. Recommend getting a yardage book due to some blind shots.

Enjoyable

I did not have high expectations since we got $16 rate on a Saturday morning. The parking lot was pretty bare but it's located in a gated retirement community. Overall the course was maintained nicely. No sand bunkers. I highly recommend getting the course guide. There is water in unexpected places along with quite a few blind shots. Shockingly on a beautiful Saturday morning we had a leisurely 4 hour pace of play with no waiting or being pushed. We will definitely play again when we return to the area.

Enjoyable Round

Front nine tree lined with doglegs with ample landing areas. Back nine a little more open but with water in play on most holes. Not crowded played in just over 3 hrs as a twosome. Very friendly staff

Good Shape - course knowledge would help

The course is in very good shape and a pretty fun course. As someone that hasn't played there in years, a little course knowledge would help. There are quite a few layup or blind shots that can bite you if you don't know what to do or where to hit it, but overall the course played nicely. We will be back!
