Nice round at Hiddenbrooke

The course was in good condition except for the (White) tee box.es. We finished the round in 4.5 hours which was very comfortable. Lost bartender at club after round? Never showed to get a seconds beer.

What a waste of good money!

I posted this review the day I played and it was not posted.

This used to be one of the best Bay Area courses. They charged $97 to play this garbage course?!! Not one decent, flat tee box, sand everywhere, blotchy growths on the greens (not sure how to describe it, looked like a filed of flattened broccoli rather than greens, and sand patches bare spots. Did this place get attacked by wild hogs??? To charge these prices for these conditions is theft! Not coming back until they fix this place! Covid is no excuse for poor grounds keeping, especially with less play, you would think it was pristine!

Course needs work

Hiddenbrooke is a decent course, but the tee boxes and greens are sadly neglected.

Too slow

We played on Thursday, started from 1215pm, finished by 515pm. It was too slow, no Marshall control, we were happy everything other than that.

Wilson

The majority of the greens and almost all the tee boxes are in poor shape. Many times hard to find flat ground to tee off. Ridiculous. Has the potential to be an outstanding course. This was my first time. Would not recommend. There are plenty of better choices close by. It’s a real shame.

Potential to be great. But in really bad conditions.

Played for the first time with my pops. Course layout is really nice and challenging. But the course is in bad shape. Don’t even get me started with the greens So so so bad… probably not coming back ever again for the price.

Muddy swap.

Lost three balls in the middle of fairway because of underground water leaks causing muddy conditions.

California has drought conditions Brentwood golf club is wasting water. Course hasn't been mowed in weeks, cups have half inch overgrowth, dumped my clubs on the concrete at first hole because bag strap clamp was broken. Paid 60 bucks feel like I got robbed.

Lots of potential, but needs TLC, especially the greens.

Good layout and views, but disappointed with the bumpy and weed infested greens. Ranger should be more assertive about speeding up slow players.

Needs a lot of work Not worth the drive or money.

If this course was well kept, it would be a great course to test your skills. Unfortunately, this was by far on of the worst maintained courses in the Bay Area. And for $84 per round, a true waste.

People were great, service pretty good.

Course conditions? Where to start. Greens in terrible shape. Possibly two were good but., but otherwise every other green had patches of weeds and sand preventing any ball from rolling straight. Some greens were fast others slow. Fairways super inconsistent. You could have 2-3 different playing conditions on one hole. Some areas severely over watered and soggy while others normal and dry. Tee boxes were terrible. Couldn’t really tee off without feeling uneven divot holes underfoot. But the worst part of this course, above everything else, were the bunkers. Hard sand and some with puddles of stagnant water. Even if you didn’t hit the sand, seeing bunkers like that make you not want to be there.

I honestly can’t recommend this course and also feel sorry for all of those residents that bought homes there for the golf and have to deal with this lack of management.

We met some great residents, but we will never go back.

Mostly Beautiful

This was my first time playing this course, a little n KS style layout going around and through a big, super hilly subdivision in Vallejo. The elevation changes were about as dramatic as I've ever played, and lots of opportunitiesto test your faith in your club lengths with shots over and around visibility barriers at the joints of the doglegs.

Many of the Fairways were quite narrow. If you have trouble with driver accuracy, like I do, put that thing away and use your fairway wood, because "rough" on this course means healthy, thick blackberry bushes! Tee boxes were in good shape, and the greens, with just a couple of exceptions, were as well. One of our foursome started the round walking with a pushcart. If you're in average shape, meaning NOT a marathon runner, swallow your pride and ride, please? Snack bar is small, and in summer everything shuts down at 5. Too bad....overall, great day on a wonderful course, with reasonable (weekday) prices.
