Went back to Hidden Valley to play since the other courses in the local area have aerated last week. I thought that they would get their act together and have a Starter and Marshall with all the complaints of slow play. WRONG.

Upon arrival at the clubhouse we were told that everyone was running on time. Showed up on time at the 1st tee but there was already a line. Golfers on the box were already 30 minutes behind their tee time, not their fault as they also had to wait. No Starter to get people off on time. Waited on almost every hole and no Marshall to move people along. POP was a grueling 5.5 hours.

Okay course condition: Sand traps are being repaired and sign at pro shop say to take out of trap and get free drop. Rough has not been cut down especially around the traps, so good luck finding your ball if you land in the area. Fairways are in good condition. Greens are lush but need to be tamped down and cut as the are slow.

Sorry to say, that this course is now on the bottom of the list until they can get POP back down to a 4-4.5 hour pace.
