Hiddenbrooke Golf Club

Course is in great shape. Greens are hard and fast. It was windy the day we played which made it tougher.

Fantastic layout and views snaking through hills and canyons. Really good course and fun to play. Many of the greens, bunkers and some tee boxes could use attention to match the quality of the layout and location. Plus they charge as much as other comparable courses in the area that have superior hazards and greens. Many bunkers were more rock than sand. Come on Hiddenbrooke sand doesn’t cost that much. Will I return? Yes!

The course has been as well as I could remember. Greens are mostly good but can still be better. Tee boxes are ripped up for the most part but are not a problem. Still had an enjoyable round.

I like the course lay out, it’s challenging but not hard. It’s fun and enjoyable to play with.

This is a beautiful course meandering through a natural valley. Rolling fairways, undulating greens, well maintained with plenty of opportunities for the creative golfer to gamble between risk and reward. It's all about ball placement here. Give it a try!!

Decided to tee off at Hiddenbrooke after not having played it since the mid-2000's and the course has fallen off a cliff. Had a tee time at 1:33pm, but didn't tee off until well after 2:30pm because a) they had two tournaments that day and were behind and b) they ran out of carts so we had to wait for one. After teeing off, the pace was extremely slow (1-2 groups waiting on tee boxes) that we couldn't finish our round and had to head on in after the 15th hole. I'm assuming the marshal(s) were busy trying to get the tournaments going. I wish their staff or GolfNow could let us know if and how many tournaments are being played that day and the overall handicap of the people playing in these tournaments...

Secondly, the course conditions were nowhere near what I remembered playing when I was a kid. Growing up in Vallejo, this golf course was a premiere golf course hosting many LPGA tour events, but now, I'm surprised its up and running. Many bunkers around the greens had no sand and the greens were very patchy and slow. It's such a shame no investing has gone into this Arnold Palmer golf course. The layout is amazing, but playing golf here is not.

Last time I played here was in the late 90s. Changed so much since. While the staff are friendly. Pace of play too slow it’s hard to stay warm and in good rthym. Although the greens are in decent conditions grounds areound the greens are soggy with cart tire tracks. Some of the fairways are also too wet. This asides would have been good challenging great value course to play.

Got a great deal on GolfNow.

The greens need some TLC.

The bunkers are a bit light on sand.

Overall though, I love the layout of the course and more than half of the holes have character.

Hoping that Troon will be able to get this course back to the way it was at the beginning. At that time it rated 5 stars, across the board.

Follow up to a 4 star review a few months back: The tee boxes are improved and flatter...nice work. I have played Black or Blue tees for the entire year and seen about Six rounds this year here.

The GREENS WERE FABULOUS! Tour quality and fast. They have been good all year...today they were a perfect 10. At least running 12 on stimpmeter.

There are still some dry spots on the course with grass nearby, and some overly wet spots near greens where ball plugs, that's an easy fix. Course looks great and plays tough right now. Rough and sand looks good too in most spots, they are not there to be easy. Any complaints about the course are not warranted at this time. I shot rounds of 73, 71, 70, and 68 here this year(had it to 6 under at one point thru 16). Had a tough time breaking 80 today! Perfect weather and a perfect track once again. Thanks.

Cant get enough of this course, love the layouts and the challenges.

Course is in terrible conditions. Fairways are dried out. Tee boxes are in terrible shape. Rough is kept too long for amateurs. Barely missed the fairway on several holes. I wasn't able to find my ball in the rough. It's a shame because it use to be an awesome course that I didn't mind spending the money on.

Great value..challenging course, good condtions, good pace, great staff

Great & challenging layout, high tee boxes, staff always friendly & helpful.

Rumor has it the owner asked for a bare bones management contract. So there is not real sand in the bunkers, fairways have bald spots and the restaurant closes at 5:00.

The course has plenty of challenge and the layout provides something for everyone. I play this course a few times each year and the past few years have not seen improvement in course conditions.

On a sunny Friday, the course had few backups and played smoothly as long as you can find a tee box not under repair.

I have enjoyed this course for the past 15 years but this is the worst condition I have seen it.

Recommended if you can live with less then perfect conditions for the rates charged.

I usually love this course, but when I played the course was NOT in great shape, bathrooms not stocked, and no Marshal to keep it moving...over 5 hours and I could not finish the last two holes it went so long!

Friendly staff and beautiful views. Greens are a disaster with competing strains of grasses making for a ridiculous bumpy mess. Burnt fairways, lumpy trashed tee boxes, dead animal carcasses on several holes, trash and litter strewn about, overgrown rough, unkempt wooded areas flowing out onto the course, bunkers filled with more mud and rocks than sand, trashed driving range with little to no grass on the hitting surface. I don't think that this is what Arnold Palmer had in mind. Hopefully Troon can turn this place around because a beautiful course like this should be taken care of. I was told tee boxes and bunkers are scheduled to be cleaned up. I was also told that "Troon can only improve the course as much as the owner is willing to invest in the process." Sadly I won't be back anytime soon. Yocha Dehe and Diablo Grande are much better Troon courses for the money. Hiddenbrook does have one thing going for it, its dirt cheap. Guess you get what you pay for...

The greens were in terrible condition as was the tee boxes. Fairways were flooded and rough about 3" tall
