Hiddenbrooke Golf Club

Challenging!!! Love this Course and esp the Staff! Chance is my favorite but, then again they're all amazing.

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.

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.

Staff was friendly , helpful, and efficient. Foursome in front of use let our twosome play through on the first par 3 and the rest of the day was all by ourselves so pace and atmosphere was about as good as it can get. Course conditions and layout were nice. Given that the course is only 30 minutes away from Berkeley, supper convenient. Over all a good golf day and I would recommend this course for a relaxed round with friends or family that is not expensive.

Tee boxes were in poor condition....no level spot in which to stand. Greens appeared to be infected as they were spotty and had, what looked like, another type of grass. We took 51/2 hours to play our round...enough said!

I don't know what to call all those small mounds that are growing all over some of the greens, but when they affect the roll of the putts, then I think something needs to be done.

Play Hiddenbrooke pretty much every week. Never tire of it as a true test, because I love the layout. Every hole is a challenge in it's own way, and a treat to take on. This round, the pace was great, and the breezes were a factor, but not a big hindrance. It was a cool (for July) day, but pleasant.

Eventually the tee boxes and bunkers will be improved (I hope), though historically the greens have always been excellent...both in difficulty and condition.

But, I do now worry about the greens, as within the past few weeks, it appears a fungus is propagating on practically every green and affecting the true roll quite a bit.

I hope this can be gotten under control very soon, or things could become dire. I wish the greenskeeper all the luck in the world. My fingers are crossed.

Course in good shape except for some bunkers with hardly any sand. Greens need some work too.

I've enjoyed previous rounds here, but conditions today were just sad, especially for this course that has so much potential. $90+ is completely unreasonable with things the way they are. Next to impossible to find a level area on the tees on 75% of the holes, unrepaired divots everywhere. Fairways are inconsistent soggy in one spot, hard pan 3 feet away. Obvious thatch issues to anyone that knows anything about greenskeeping.. This place is hosting a Troon Challenge on the 25th? You're out of your minds! It'll be a long while before I visit again.

Kinda ridiculous to pay $90 a round in the middles of summer on a WEEKEND and there be NO cart girls, and very busy/overcrowded small cafe at the turn. I’d expect that form a $50 course, not for the price!

Tee boxes need to be improved and better maintained; uneven and too many unrepaired divots. white markers are hard to spot.

I always like this course. but this time the conditions of the course, e.g. tee boxes, bunkers, fairways, were not as desirable due to a lack of maintenance. The greens, on the other hand, were in good shape. Look forward to seeing improvement next time.

I love the layout of the course. That being said the conditions need some help. The tee boxes were just awful. Overall the course seems to be lacking in overall maintenance. So sad for this Palmer course to let it go a bit.

For the price you pay the course is Walmart at best. Tee boxes are wrecked and greens are neglected. If it wasn’t for TeeOff app I wouldn’t play here. $90+ To play here is nuts.

Tee boxes are in bad shape and the sand traps were horrible (some had puddles of water in them)

there are lots of different hole lengths and shapes so you get to do many things during a round. There is always some wind in this area so a few holes tend to be more challenging if you are going into the wind.

Tee box’s are horrible and there is now sand in the sand traps. Fairways are in good shape as well as the greens.
