Hiddenbrooke Golf Club

The staff is very friendly and the course is in great shape despite the amount of rain that has put some other courses in a bind due to the rain damage. The round took us 5 hours and it seems to be a typical time for a weekend round. We would play here again and would like to see how this course looks during the summer months. It’s peaceful and beautiful, challenging and narrow.

Bring extra balls if you're not straight with plenty of force carries.

Tee times are stacked. Expect a 6 hour round. Course itself is ok, however, very challenging due to blind shots, elevated greens and a lot of opportunity to lose your ball.

First time going back to course in over 5 years. Was very pleasantly surprised with course conditions. Still wet with recent rains and once fairways and rough can be mowed again, likely this week, I think fairway conditions will be quite good. Greens and fringe areas in excellent shape. Teed off at 820 and done in less than 4:30. Starter on first tee was helpful and saw Marshall on hole 8. Overall a very good experience and will be back.

Such a slow pace of play..especially for $73. No Marshall or starter. Bummer. Over 3 hours to finish 9 holes. 6 hours to finish in the dark.

Ok, I will say it again! I love Hiddenbrooke....I want to play there everyday.

The course was in moderate condition.

The Tee boxes were in average condition. They could use some care.

The fairways were in fair condition. They definitely use maintenance. Lots of divots and bare areas.

The greens were in good condition. I would not suggest any improvements to them. Truly ran at a 10.

Knowing the area I would have thought that the course would have some type or marker for target lines. I would suggest putting a laser on the flag poles so people know where they are to aim.

Our tee time was at 7:18am. Just when we payed they let us know we would be going out at 7:30am due to frost. Every half hour the came out and told us there were pushing us back another half hour because of the cold. It was sunny and wasn’t frosty. We finally left at 9am because we had already had our tee off pushed back several times. As we were leaving, one of the employees informed us that they’ve done this to people without notice for two weeks straight. Why allow people to book early times if they already intended to push back. Ridiculous.

One of the best course to play when in the Vallejo, American Canyon, Napa area.

I'll continue playing Hiddenbrooke weekly, but as stated before I'm not happy about them removing so many bunkers. I know it was to save money on bunker maintenance (and to make the course easier so as to get more play), but I don't believe it should still be called a Palmer design. The great layout is still the same, but the strategy required has been reduced, since avoiding bunkers is really not much of an issue any longer. True, the few remaining bunkers are now better maintained and they're putting more money into repariing the teeboxes, but I am (and will continue to be) missing the true, original Arnold Palmer 4-5 Star design. Oh, well. It's still a fun, challenging course to play in beautiful, natural surroundings. Though, I'm afraid the deer that fled during the digging/dirt movement and removal of their natural habitat (many trees) will never return. That's also a shame. Bye-bye Bambi.

The worst shape I have ever seen an Arnold Palmer course. Greens were ok(aerated a month ago) but the tee boxes and fairways were poorly maintained. Too many players on the course, too close together. Played 5 holes at a perfect pace then waited on every shot for the next 13 holes.

Be careful booking tee times here, we had a 12:24 tee time and didn’t start until an hour later due to a frost delay the course had that morning. They said they emailed about it but I don’t think gold now reservations were notified. I never received notice ahead of time and booked over a week in advance. Course was nice otherwise though.

First time playing here. The cost is pretty high on weekends but it’s worth it if you’ve never been here. Don’t like that you have to drive a mile to the driving range but it is what it is. Course is challenging, very tight fairways , but an awesome layout. Will return

Course overall was in pretty good shape though there were several brown spots and the greens still had quite a bit of sand on them.
