Hiddenbrooke Golf Club

Positive

Friendly staff

Notice improvement (still a lot to go)

Course layout

Not good part

tee box is still in bad shape

green needs fix.. there are still fungus disease w/ uneven green

pace of play: 5 hr 40 min..

last part was torture.. It was windy, so that might affect pace of play. However, still too long.

I hope new Owner improved course better (pace, course condition), then it will be great course again.

Course condition was just OK. Greens are mostly recovered from aeration. They appear to be just being able to mow the rough. It was long, thick and brutal to find balls in. I know, I know....hit the fairway...

Always a good day out there. It was windy which made it very tough. Tougher than usual.

As always, staff was friendly. Food was good. Great day.

after all I've heard that this is supposed to be a challenging course that's kept in great condition, I was surprised to find it in poor to average shape. Lots of mowed grass left on the fairways, sand traps very hard and mud in some , greens were bumpy and not cared for and there was trash on the course with several trash cans full not emptied. This was mid morning . Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was very slow with no marshall to help correct it. May give it another chance but for the cost of play, there are several courses in the area that are more cost effective.

Course design one of top public courses...fairways, rough good, greens final stages recovery from aeration, traps need work...worth the price....

The course is close to being where it should be. Greens are almost out sanding stage, fairways are perfect, but the bunkers are pretty much unplayable. Staff is great and Jrs play for free later in the day.

I’ve noticed a steady and marked improvement in regard to the condition of the fairways, greens and tee boxes, since Troon took over management of the course.

I’d have to say that when I played yesterday, my impression was that the course was almost as good as it was when it first opened.

The bunkers are better but not yet ‘great’ and the cart paths are in need of some TLC.

Overall impression is that I’m thrilled about the rapid improvement of the course conditions.

Than You Troon Management and Staff at Hiddenbrooke!

Course in sub par condition. Deicing range very poor. Would rather hit into nets off mats rather than those conditions. Teeing grounds bare. Hard to find a patch of grass. Bunker have zero sand for the most part. Some with a scant amount. Fairways ok but could use attention. Greens ok had been aerated a few weeks earlier. Course amenities, ballwashers, divot mix boxes, waste containers, etc. all subpar. Won't play there again soon.

The gentleman working in the pro shop answered the few questions I had with great enthusiasm and made sure I understood his answers. He made an extra effort to help me find an item which is always awesome. The Starter and cart staff are always ready to help when I arrive at the bag drop off. Way above standard for the area in my opinion and one of the reasons I keep coming back. The service of the staff that work here is awesome.

The tee boxes could use a bit of work. The white tees had quite a few in which a decent stance couldn't be achieved. I understand there may be some un-level boxes but there were a few that had almost foot sized holes in which your feet could vary in depth almost a whole 2 inches. The bunkers also could use a little sand. I found my self in 3 bunkers (holes 1,11,12) and in trying to play a splash flop shot I hit mud below. On hole 11, I hurt my wrist a bit finding a drainage pipe only an inch under the surface.

The greens were micro-punched but the sand filling the holes wasn't really consistent giving the ball a bumpy roll. I'm sure this will be fixed here in a few weeks as the weather warms up.

A week of rainy and cold weather had left Hiddenbrooke a bit overgrown, and delayed some aerating/sanding activity. . . BUT that did not diminish the golf round at all. The starter and staff had given fair warning, specifying the greens that might not yet be perfect, but the fairways were well mowed, the trimming of overgrown and (now luxurious) foliage and flora, lifting and lightening of all the sand traps had been accomplished. Three bands of fairway, light rough and deep rough mowed and trimmed; greens mowed and rolled -- and the recently sanded ones had been swept that morning. These folks take immaculate care of this course; they are accommodating and friendly -- even giving me a reduced rate when GolfNow's reservation had not been transmitted to the pro-shop computer. Prime experience -- and a great day of golf!

Surpriced to see a low priced hot deal for this course. Well, it was because greens were recently aerated. Needless to say, putting was no fun at all! Rest of the course seem to be in excellent condition. Had I realized greens were recently aerated, I would have played at a different golf course.

The back nine was closed (aeration in progress), so I played the front nine twice.

The maintenance staff were working hard, clearing up the aeration plugs, regardless of the fact that it was raining.

The course conditions appear to be improving significantly - almost there!

Very fun place to play but the tee boxes are very uneven.

What an amazing layout and awesome area for a golf course, but it’s completely run down...tee boxes are dirt patches, sand traps are rock piles, fairways are inconsistent and the greens, while not terrrible, are filled with divots. I want to love this course, as do so many people who have also written on this site, but nothing seems to change. There are some great holes though and the course does provide a reasonable challenge from that stand point. I guess the issue is that it’s not a terrible course, it’s just that this course could be so so much more.

Wow extremely disappointed in this course. There is a LOT wrong here... driving range is almost 3 blocks away from course, the staff wasn’t that helpful or friendly, they tell you to expect a 4 1/2 round but that quickly turned into a 5 1/2 hour round and the marshal didn’t enforce pace of play on a group that was at least 2 holes behind the group in front of them, the cart girl was talking/yelling to someone on her phone or yelling to the groups behind us (we were backed up 3 groups) asking what they want to drink while I was teeing off and putting in another hole, 15 out of the 18 tee boxes either didn’t have grass on them or had mounds on them.
