Nice layout

Greens in great shape, fairways in pretty good shape, some areas off the fairways were dry, but with no rain, understandably so. I played in the morning so there was no wind which makes the course much easier. (Shot a 76)

Afternoon times can get real windy, so be aware.

Teed off before 8 am for $44. Worth the $ for sure.

One of my local favorites

Course is playable but they are reseeding in some areas, guess that should be considered a good thing. They have cleaned up some areas that make the course more appealing. Not my favorite driving range though.

Marshal

The course needs a Marshal to keep things moving along. No matter how much work you put into a good golf course that this is, and it is getting better & better, it is all for nothing if it takes five hours plus to play it. It's the returning golfers that makes a golf course successful.

Bunkers Go Bye-Bye. Breaks My Heart.

It's been my go to course the past 20+ years, because I've loved the layout and difficulty. Also, the greens are pretty much always in wonderful condition. However, the condition of the teeboxes and bunkers has always left a lot to be desired.

So, the new owner's answer was to begin work on the teeboxes a few months ago....nice......and to REMOVE THE VAST MAJORITY of the bunkers rather than repair and maintain them.

There might have been a very few (3-4) bunkers that rarely, if ever came into play, so those...not a great loss. But the literally dozens and dozens of other bunkers that have been and continue to be removed have been an intricate and key part of Arnold Palmer's

original 5-STAR design. Arnie has to be "rolling over in his grave", and I know would agree with me when I say it is no longer his Hiddenbrooke. To me, it's "sacrilegious" to do this to an award winning Palmer course that once hosted (for 3 consecutive years) the LPGA's Samsung World Championship. I will continue to play Hiddenbrooke for it's topography, naturally beautiful surroundings and quality greens (though maybe not as often) and when I do I will always shake my head as I FEEL THE LOSS OF AN ORIGINAL Arnold Palmer 5-star course that once existed in all it's original glorious design.
