Played yesterday in 4 hours basically going at our own pace. Course was rather empty... The course scores high marks in almost all categories except the sand was very poor. Not sure if it was due to a dumping of rain or overwatering but it was hard on every hole that I looked at (or was in...). Other than that, the 9th fairway has some bare spots and it appears they are trying to fix it as it was rather wet. I found myself admiring the quality of the grass in the fairways many times... it's the kind you get a nice fluffy lie off of and you can make a really good connection w/the ball cuz your not hitting off of clay like the low end courses that are out there. Amazingly receptive greens that hold exceptionally. If you can drop your ball on the green on your approach shots it generally won't roll more than 1 - 2 feet. DO NOT let the practice putting green fool you as it was MUCH faster than the greens on the course although the greens do roll very true. Also, due to a tail wind on the last couple of holes the par 3 16th hole played about 4 clubs less than normal and it really shortened up hole #17 and 18. I was quite worried that the heat would be unbearable but it was rather comfortable and the winds help keep you cool.
Still love the views and the course IS scorable if you can keep it in the fairways. Bring a few extra sleeves if you are a hacker as the fairways are ultra narrooooooooow.

Hidden Valley is probably the best Course/Layout!!/Value in Southern Cal. (Besides Rustic Canyon). Awesome LAYOUT. Well designed holes. A hard course overall because of all the O.B. however a very fun day and I am the average player at 95 (23H). Played Sunday 7/17/05 at 9:30A. Our fourth was late so we had to let 2 groups go ahead of us and the 1st group that went ahead of us were perhaps the slowest group I have ever seen in my life. (15 minutes- I kid you not at each tee box!!!) After seeing this while putting at the practice green I called the starter right away at the first hole. They were great..professional...sent the 70-year old marshall out and he promptly took care of it by letting not only the group ahead of us play through but ley us as well play through so we were able to enjoy our day and play a 4-1/4 hr round on a Sunday!!!!!!!! Hats off to the Starter/Marshall....Anyways, I've played at over 50 different public courses since last year and I rate Hidden Valley to be one of the BEST courses period!!!!

Nice course, please spend some money on sand for the bunkers.

The course had rain damage in some areas that were being treated but I did not score this course any less based on those factors. The customer service was ok considering out tee time was set at 6AM, first one out and the office employees got their late because we were unable to use the driving range for long. This is course is beautiful first of all. Located in the hills of Corona this course is definately a precision course. Narrow fairways, up hill shots, down hill drops, this course had it all. It give it a four star for the worth green fees option because you are paying for a beautiful and challenging course.

FUN COURSE TO PLAY. SAND TRAPS WERE IN POOR CONDITION

Played on 5/20 and coures is in overall great shape. Pesky bugs throughout entire round can be a distraction as they fly in your face. The cart girl even asked if we needed bug spray!!!! I had never seen as much livestock on this course as I did today - rabbits, roadrunners, squirrels -- sheesh!!! Still love the layout and course is scorable if you can hit it straight. Only lost one ball today. I'll be back. Starter stated possible closure of 9 holes in September but date keeps getting pushed back due to negotiations.

wow i don't think course is in that great of condition. greens are bumpy and very slow. greens were mowed but not short enough. sand traps don't have any sand. fairways and rough were nice except all the cut grass they leave on course. many blind shots from black tees.

Wow ! this place is in great shape, not much traffic either. I got out at 9:45 this morning and only saw 3 other groups on the course, and left 3:45 min later. The greens were great, ball marks left ... Continue »

Wow ! this place is in great shape, not much traffic either. I got out at 9:45 this morning and only saw 3 other groups on the course, and left 3:45 min later. The greens were great, ball marks left by others were never found. The rates have droped to $48.00 weekday. Customer service was super. I cant say enough. The best day golfing I've had in a long time.
