Hidden Valley is actually one of my favorite courses in the area when the conditions are good. But my round today 9/28/2021 had some of the worst conditions I've ever played on. The greens are covered in fungus and very lumpy. All the tee boxes were beat up like they were under construction. Some parts of the fairways were nice but others were dug up probably due to more fungus on them. The pace of play was also very slow for a Tuesday. When I usually play this course there is not normally a wait but today we were waiting pretty much at every tee box. Once all the work is completed on this course I'm sure it'll be very nice. I would avoid for a few weeks.

Played today Monday august 23, pace was fast as we got out early as a twosome and a foursome let us through. Tee are ok thin at time and some uneven, fairways are lush for summer, bunkers were playable and well maintained with rakes. Greens were nice but really slow.

Played Friday July 30th at 7am. Check in was fast, cost was too high at $62, the starter is up at the club house signing out carts, but there is no one at the first tee to get people out. Our group of three had tee times of 7: 00,7:10 &7:20, so I started asking groups what their tee times were to get things moving and I got 6:56 & 7:04, looks like the club house doesn't know what they are doing how can you have tee times 4 minutes apart. Then there was a 2 some group just waiting for their third member to show up, needless to say we got out 20 minutes late. Most of the tee boxes were un mowed, when you used a short tee for a fairway wood to tee off the grass was above the tee, the fairways were ok, the rough was 4 to 5 inches in some places, wasn't in any traps thank goodness, and the greens were not mowed either, extremely slow. Our cart had a flat tire and they did bring out a new cart quickly. They had carts diving around giving cold water to the golfers. I said before I would not come back here and only did because our group did and I like playing with the group. POP was horrible at 4:45. The scenery is nice here but this course and the conditions of it are not worth $62. I will not be back until our group schedules it again next year.

I played this course on 04/23/21 and the greens were ridiculous. The greens were still recovering from recently being punched. Many greens had an EXTREME amount of sand on them...as if buckets of sand was just thrown on. It was like putting in a sand box and others were extremely bumpy with the punched holes. An awful day for putting here. Sand in bunkers was wet and heavy. Had I known it was that bad, my guest and I would have played elsewhere. Don't waste your money.

HORRIBLE!!!! ... granted it was a windy day but that is nothing against the course. The real disappointment was how horrible the greens were. They neither bother to cut them or cure them. Covid is giving so much business to golf courses that they do not have to worry about giving players their's moneys worth or give them a good golf experience. NEVER AGAIN will we play at HIDDEN VALLEY ..

I have not been able to get out much lately to play but I got some time today so I looked to see what courses were pretty wide open so I could get some practice in. I saw Hidden Valley had a bunch of tee times and I had not played here in a while so I thought it would be fun.

I was really disappointed with the course today. This place has been booked solid for the past few months so I had pretty high expectations based on the amount of play this place was getting. I was pretty disappointed once I got out on the course.

First off, GolfNow did not mention anywhere that the course was cart path only. Anyone that has every played this course could agree with me that this course is not one you really want to play on cart path only conditions. It was really odd that the course was cart path only with the conditions I saw. The course was actually really dry and I even saw holes that had sprinklers on. Really weird situation if you ask me.

The fairways and rough were in decent shape. There were a ton of divots but I expected that with the amount of play they have been getting. They can't really help that to be honest.

The tee boxes were absolutely horrible. I have never in my life seen tee boxes like these. Most had literally zero grass on them - especially on the par 3's. I found myself trying to find an area that just had some grass to hit off of - whether is was between the tee markers or not. If you played the entire 18 between the markers, you would have been hitting off actual dirt on at least 9 of the 18 holes. Probably the worst tee boxes I have ever played and I have played some crappy courses!

The pace of play was absolutely horrible. I understand that I was a single but the groups in front of me were absolutely brutal. It would have been a 6 hour round if I would have stayed behind them. I ended up going back to the first tee after #9 and was able to fly though my "back 9". I don't think I would have finished 14 holes before dark if I would have gone to the back. Brutal pace of play but understandable with cart path only conditions on this course.

I guess I had too high of expectations today. I have not been on Greenskeeper in a while since I have not been playing much so I did not see the previous reviews about the course. If I had seen those, I probably would have picked something else today. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this course right now. Slow play and poor course conditions did not add up to a very fun day.

Needing to use a voucher which was about to expire, back out to Hidden Valley. I have enjoyed playing this course because it represents a rather stern test for me. (Since I am never smart enough to play from the proper tee boxes) Having read the prior reviews, my expectations were low, and they were pretty much on point. I can tolerate the winter conditions at courses, but I am particular about the greens. The greens certainly were quick enough, but not true, so the combination of fast greens with bumpy surfaces makes for a frustrating experience.

Fairways were a mixed bag, some thin, some just fine. I have to admit I do not tee off between the markers, so I was able to find areas on the tees which were fine. Rough also inconsistent.

Have to admit that I was not really "into it" today, so I guess my disappointment level would have been higher had I really cared. But anytime you can play golf in December it makes me smile.

Played on 12/23/20. Pace of play was fine after first 3 holes. Wind was blowing hard but had my mind made up to just accept it. Condition of the course was very poor. The grass is dormant and I get that. A lot of mud!! Most bunkers were dug up and had standing water. Greens were ok shape but fast beyond acceptability. Saw a 3 ft putt on 17 roll off the front. (about 30 ft). Wind had an impact but still c'mon. And for some reason nobody feels compelled to fix a ball mark. In my opinion that's an indicator of the lack of respect people have for this course.

I had not played this course in about 20 years. Just hit it because some friends got together for Christmas. Have no plans to come back.

Played here today, 12/15, and I will get right to it, not worth the cost right now. This course is almost unplayable, especially in any sort of wind. The greens are bumpy and extremely fast; I watched many putts go flying from a small tap. It was unheard of. I have never played a course in these conditions but I knew something was off when the clubhouse had a sign "no wind rain checks, play at own will." or something like that. There were plenty of times i felt like the wind was going to knock me over on the swing or just standing there; some of the elevated tee boxes made me feel uneasy because of the wind. I would avoid here at all costs right now until they get the greens back into some sort of decent shape.
