Hiddenbrooke Golf Club

I really enjoyed playing the course. The staff is so friendly and the layout is fun. The only thing keeping me from giving it another star is the bunker situation. There’s no sand. It’s packed down and hard pan. Nice soft sanded bunkers would make this the next public course in the area.

Great layout super, super poor conditions. The tee boxes are uneven and hardly any grass on them and no sand in the bunkers.

The curse is one where course knowledge was very important. Many holes were blind so sort of guide would have been helpful. Layout was challenging, lots of hills, uneven lies, and pleanty of potential trouble. All of these points make it an interesting place to play. Sand traps have been totally ingnored as far as upkeep, most times our group treated them as ground under repair. The farways are narrow and tough to see due to the verious undulations. Also, the rough was very long. A drive that was slightly off of the fairway may be tough to find. A little more mowing would be in order. Given the upkeep, I thought the $90 was a bit high.

First time back to HB in about six months. I was hoping they sunk some of the Covid bounty they've been making into the course. I was very disappointed. $90 for destroyed tee boxes and unplayable bunkers. Nothing has changed, they don't maintain their property. For a Troon golf course this course is in embarrassing shape.

You cannot go wrong with Hiddenbrook. Condition are very wet at this time of the year so maintenance is not at their best right now.

This course remains my Fav in the East Bay. Both Challenging and Difficult esp if you stray from the Fairways. Staff are all wonderful and of course, Ryan & the Nicks, James - new...are always there to ensure you enjoy your round.

My only negative feedback now is that all The Water closets are Unisex. Pls leave 1 or 2 for us Women. Ty

It had been several months since I last played and reading some of the comments, I was apprehensive on what the course would be like. The greens were in very good shape considering they'd been recently aerated. The rain certainly is helping the fairways recover and it looks like they are working on filing in bare spots on the tees. Certainly, will be coming back, and hopefully, they will continue to improve the course.

The course needs some major help on its condition. Tee boxes were a mess and most bunkers needed sand. I love the layout, but please invest some money and make the needed repairs.

We played a day after the greens were aerated. Needless to say, putting was difficult. The worst part was bunkers were all hard, wet, full of water and looked like damaged by corrosion No one can hit the balls from bunkers. A few tee boxes were heavily damaged. It was a fun course to play but the condition was not perfect. Although airways were green but slightly wet but no issues. We should have a free round of foursome to make up the poor bunker and green condition.

Many years ago this used to be a very well groomed fun course. I hadn't played it for years. Last time I played it I could see it was going downhill. No sand in the traps, tee boxes uncared for, fairways patchy with a lot of dirt and no grass etc. That was then. This time it was all that plus it was way, way worse. Whoever owns this course should be ashamed. It's one of the worst tracks I've ever played. There were three of us and after nine holes we were laughing so hard at the course condition that we decided to call it a day and go have an early dinner at the Dead Fish. Don't waste your money.

Course needs lots of maintenance. Tee Boxes are on need of leveling, bunkers are hard pan and fairways are thin. Wood bridges are starting to rot. Greens are in decent shape. This course is only 26 years old and was in great shape the first 10-15 years.

Not worth the money Hiddenbrooke charges. Course is in very poor condition(Uneven tee boxes, bare spots in fairways, no sand in the bunkers just hard dirt) Pace of play was painful, marshals are needed. On 1 stretch of 2 holes we saw 3 singles playing alone, why not pair them together to speed up play? We teed off at noon and at the rate we were going I sincerely doubt that we would have finished by sundown because if you’ve played Hiddenbrooke you know that the back 9 plays slower than the front 9. After 7 holes we were done! We just took our clubs and walked off the course, Didn’t ask for our money back, just DONE!!

Given the natural contours of the landscape and the hazards, this can be a challenging course. If you have good control over your clubs (both long and short), you will have no problem. If you have challenges getting (and staying) on the fairway, be prepared to lose some balls! This is a good course to hone your skills!
