Hidden Falls Golf Club
About
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.

What a gem!
Found an incredible deal--twosome for $0.00! Took the drive to Marble Falls from Buda. Well worth the gas money! Similar set up as Quicksand in Wimberly, but much nicer. Course was in very good condition, staff was very helpful, course overview book provided, HUGH greens rolled true. Overall great experience. Wish it wasn't so far from home, but will make the effort to return.
For 9.99 its well worth the drive
Not THE best course ever but not too shabby. I like playing multiple courses and this one is tough to beat for 9.99 online. We even replayed for 15 buck cart rental. 36 holes for 25 bucks is great!
The greens had paint/fertilizer on them making them really green. The texture of the greens was a little rough but they seemed to roll better than expected. Overall I'll give it a 6.5/10. Its a short course but has its challenging holes. I enjoyed it!
Very enjoyable
Played in the afternoon and had the place to myself. Enough of a challenge to make it interesting but not so much that it is not enjoyable.
Great day on a neat course
Took the teenage boys to the course today and had a great time. We were all really impressed with the condition of the course. It was fun because from the whites my younger boy could keep up with us if he was hitting 225 off the tee and 160 from the fairway into large greens. What a great gem for the residents of this community.
A target course where local knowledge is a definite plus.
Even though the weather was somewhat damp the course was a pleasure to play. Without local knowledge some of the holes could be a real adventure. Knowing what club to hit off the tee is critical on a majority of the holes.
This course is a shot makers course
Course layout does not require long drives to score well. Only used the driver on the Par 5s and maybe 1 par 4. Par 5s are short and can be reached in two. Well placed shots will put you in a position to hit the green. Hitting the green is easy to do since the greens are SO large, which can lead to long putts and an occasional 3 putts.
Nice residential course
Good layout with lots of twists and turns. Despite being a residential course, there's plenty of room to miss without meeting the neighbors! Greens were soft and receptive. Staff was super friendly.
Only paid $14 for 18 holes and cart
Course is in need of repairs. Cart paths are in need of immediate attention. Grass on fairways need to be cut, as much as 2" thick in fairway. Greens were in good shape. Good value for the money. Loved the layout of the course with water features on back 9. Challenging.
My wife and I enjoyed our round and would play there again.
Upon arrival, I got a warm friendly welcome and immediately felt good about coming out. The course was in great shape and the water hazards made it interesting and scenic. I would like to play there again when opportunity allows.
Greens in good shape
I like this course because there are no bunkers. Not too muc water either.
Staff was great and very friendly
Greens were absolutely flawless! Beautiful!
Fairways and tee boxes were dead or ripped up for the most part.
Fairways are a little hard, geens in good shape
I thought the fairways were a little dry and hard packed ground under. Greens were in good shape except there seemed to be a lot of unrepaired ball marks.
Fun Course, great deals on Golfnow.com
The course has no sand, all grass berms and grass bunkers. There is water that comes into play on many holes. Course definitely requires proper club selection to navigate some of the hazards. Fun course! Cannot beat the cost for the quality course this is.
Fun course
This was a very fun course, has some fun little holes on and I will play it many more times
Great value - not crowded - nice risk/reward options
I usually play this course during the week, so I can't really comment on pace of play on the weekends. However, I enjoy the risk/reward options. Several holes have sharp doglegs which entice you to go for it, but can be quite penal if you hit a bad shot, but give you excellent birdie opportunities with a good shot. Fairways and tee boxes are usually quite good. Greens are slow, but consistent.
