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.

Best pro shop employee ever!
David Klotz was 1000% the sweetest most kind pro shop worker I have ever had the privilege of meeting. He stayed open for me to swing by right at closing time, helped me find exactly what I was looking for and was extremely kind during my frazzled search for a golf skirt!
He is hands down a wonderful employee and deserves a raise!
Incredible day and course conditions
The break in the Texas heat, and low humidity has been a welcome break on the courses…. Hidden Falls continues to be a local favorite, and the current course conditions are comparable to some of the top courses here in Austin. Thank you for your continued course maintenance and service! Peace……..
Good day at the course!
Overall in great shape. Greens looked good, maybe a bit bumpy and slow. (Maybe that describes me as well!)
Best Round of Golf
The course is absolutely amazing. Staff is top notch, pace of play is amazing, no practice range fees, just all around the best bang for the buck in the entire central Texas area.
Shaggy Fairways need lots of work
I've enjoyed this course for years, but this last time the fairway conditions made for an unpleasant outing. Fairways badly need to be mowed. Fairways look and play like first cut of rough. That goes for the practice range as well. The greens are great. Sadly the shaggy fairway conditions brought my review down significantly.
Great experience
Greeted as soon as we walked in the door. Friendly service, fun course. Will definitely play again.
One of the better ones
Probably one of the best courses I've played in Texas
Awesome course, great staff
It’s a little old school and that’s what I loved, course is in the best condition I’ve seen in Texas so far this summer and the staff was super helpful and friendly. It was our first time playing this course and unlike a lot of places they were very helpful and not pretentious. The range was included in the tee time and the seat covers on the cart made us much more comfortable for the duration of the round. No spectator fee, all around the best experience I’ve had with a golf course in Texas
Nice place for such a horrible experience
By "horrible experience" I do NOT mean the course was horrible. It was my game that would frighten women and children.
If I were to suggest changes at Hidden Falls, it would be 1) add bunkers and 2) mow down the tee boxes (pretty shaggy). Greens are great. Fairways are great. Service is great.
What would be even greater? If the good folks at Hidden Falls would give me a mulligan. I'll do better next time...

Greens are bumpy and extremely slow. They are thick Bermuda that has not been cut or rolled well. Balls didn’t roll true.
Fairways and tee boxes are average.
Nice Course very affordable
Enjoyed playing. Greens seem to play a little slow due to length of grass. Played an just over 3 hours. Very forgiving course. Assists with pace of play.
Good Times
I shot my lowest round ever here. Nice challenge. No sand, but a lot of water holes on the back 9. Really impressed and the restaurant was good also. Had a great and I will be back.
