An absolute hidden gem of a golf course!

Settled in the quaint town of Hidden Valley Lake lies an awesome course with even nicer employees and locals. The front 9 meanders through the course’s surrounding neighborhood before sending you out the back 9 with its elevation changes and dramatic views of the surrounding valleys. The back & front 9’a couldn’t be any different, but I mean that in a nice way. The Head pro Richard and Austin the assistant pro there are very pleasant to deal with should you need anything during the round. Played it in a somewhat wet January but the course was still very playable. Can’t Waite to play this this spring!

What a course

This course is laid out very well spacious not busy. Grass is very green and very well kept the maintenance team was out there when we began play. The Marshall is an awesome guy he gave me water.
Love that course! And the staff Ashley was wonderful!

Won’t be back for awhile

First of all, it looks like a beautiful course however, the play conditions are completely different. The worst thing about this course is the golf course have a governor that makes speed extremely slow. I don’t mind taking my time to golf but Jesus Christ every small hill slows the cart down to a crawl, the course is wide open and plenty of fairway to hit however, it is full of crabgrass, which when you swing grab your club and open the face Giving you a terrible second shot if for some reason you avoid crabgrass you end up with a brutal lie(down hill/up hill) where one foot is higher then the other.

Daniel, I'm sorry that you had a bad experience here with us. We are currently working on getting all golf carts up to the proper speed and sadly you got one we haven't adjusted yet. As for the crab grass, we have been working diligently to get it removed and have been applying the proper applications to do so. Please come back and allow us to showcase our golf course for you. Again, my apologies.
