Just played this course for the first time Friday 11/11/11. Nice late fall weather made for some really stunning views of the valleys and mountains. It wasn't that crowded but pace of play was still ... Continue »

Played here yesterday had a tee time right around 9. I don't know if I have ever played here before on the weekend, and I don't think I will again.

The course was in pretty good shape, greens were... Continue »

This is one tough course. Not only do you need to know the course as far as laying up or being aggresive, you must also hit it straight. The only holes that are somewhat forgiving are 2, 3, and 4. ... Continue »

Consistantly in great shape, too bad that you do have close to 20 minutes of green to the next tee driving in the cart for the 18 hole duration - thats what makes it a 4 - 4.5 hour round, however if y... Continue »

I got back out to Hidden Valley on 8/20 and I am very glad I got back over there now that I know the layout. Course isn't very long but it is definitely challenging and club selection is key. I mixed up tees between blues and blacks and still never touched my driver. It did however make the course play very different then the white tees I played last time. Not only the distance but the angles into the fairways changed as well, most made the angle easier but more carry is required. Views here are fantastic, from the 5th tee box you get a great view of Mira Loma, including Goose Creek and Ontario, 13, 14 ,15 all give you great views of Norco and Corona. However this is Southern California so the less smog there is the better the views will be. The drives from green to next tee box give you time to gather your thoughts and relax for a second which is nice compared to finishing a hole and immediately stepping on to the next tee. Contrast of the green grass and the brown hills really makes the green pop too. Fairways were cut perfect and rolled well on tee shots but make sure you plan where you land because a few fairways will try to kick your ball down into the rough. Rough was very good and thick. You can usually find your ball easily in the rough and it is very playable but penalizing as well. Greens rolled very well and true but I spent some time fixing other peoples ball marks and the greens held shots very well from everywhere. I have a pretty high ball flight but on the par 3 5th hole I hit my hybrid and the ball grabbed and stopped within 5 feet of where it hit which also led to one of my birdies on the day. Some greens are severely undulated so make sure you find the right level also. Afternoon breezes make the course a little harder and have a pretty big effect on the ball so pay attention to which way the wind is blowing. Customer service is excellent and even though it was busy when we got there all the employees were calm and relaxed and handled everyone with no problems and pace of play was still very good at just a bit over 4 hours.

Played on 8/8 and was a bit disappointed. I played from the white tees and I could not believe how bad the tee boxes were for a course of this caliber. I'm not sure we had a completely level tee box a... Continue »

Played on: 07/23/2011
Tee time: 10:08 am
Pace of play: 4 hours, 28 minutes (could have joined the twosome in front of me, but the husband was slamming his club and threw a wedge at one point, decided just to play as a single)
Green fee: $55.00 + $1.99 (fee for using golfnow.com)
# of players: 1
Tees: White
Driving range: yes, mats only (did not pay for range balls, was given a complimentary bucket for waiting five minutes to check in); large practice putting green and chipping area by the 1st tee

I won't bore any of you to death with my usually long and winded reviews because it is common knowledge that HV is one of the best courses in all of socal.

Fairways are lush (some thin spots but far and few between) and tee boxes are in great condition, nice and level.

The greens were recently aerated at the beginning of this month, but the greens are in good condition and roll smooth although slightly on the slow side. The greens look great and the course is ready for you to go out and play.

Anyone that has played here is familiar with the great conditions thanks to a staff that obviously takes a great amount of pride in presenting a great overall experience for all golfers of all abilities.

Besides the great conditioning of the course, what makes this course so memorable is the layout. I believe that anyone from a 25+ handicapper to a scratch golfer will enjoy their round.

Playing from the whites offered fun challenges but didn't kill my round. I lost one ball the whole round and to make a comparison I lost over half a dozen at Dos Lagos the week before.

The landing areas are forgiving if you plan on using the driver, but some holes will require you to use a bit of good judgment and opt for a fairway wood or long iron. The GPS on the cart really helps by giving you yardage to the COG, front green, back green and any hazards including yards to carry off the tee (helped me hit more FIR than I have ever before).

It is an extremely fun golf course with elevation changes and some really scenic par 3's. Pay a visit, it's 100% worth the green fees.
