Course needs work

Hidden Valley is in dire need of repairs. It's obvious they've started projects to improve the course. Fairways need total replacement. Dirt and weeds have taken over. Greens were okay. Bunker repairs have begun and are in good shape. Pace of play was very slow. No tee time organization and one hole was closed, which required you to play 10 twice. This caused a log jam on the back nine. I wouldn't pay more than $20 - $25 to play this course.

Just awful

I haven’t played a course in worse shape in 20 years. The greens were slow but in decent shape, but the fairways weren’t even playable. It looked like a wasteland.

Good Layout

I really like the course layout. This course REALLY needs to be taken care of. It’s way too good of a course to just let everything go.

Challenging, good price

We had a good time playing the course. There were some holes that were in need of some love that had fallen into some disrepair, especially the fairway. The back nine seem to be a lot more cohesive (consistently in decent shape) and fun to play but most all the greens were good on the course. Staff was friendly too, we were not rushed. I thought the course was challenging with a healthy balance of some easier holes . I would love to see this place in its own prime... but hey the price was fair so I’m not complaining.

Very friendly staff starting to show its potential

I have played here multiple times this year starting in the early spring. The course needed a lot of TLC, but the staff makes us feel extremely welcomed and have put a lot of work into the course. It has improved week by week with hole 7 the only one left I would call pretty unplayable. Greens are bouncing back and the fairways are much better than just a few months ago.

It needs to stay hidden...

Look. I know it’s only 21 bucks. But dude. You can’t even roll a putt on these greens. There is weeds all over them. It’s unplayable in my opinion. Your better off spending 11 more dollars and playing northwoods for 32 or 25 if you’re a student. If you have never played golf before, sure. Play here and learn how to play and get into it. But if you are even somewhat competent in the sport, never waste your time and money at hidden valley. I say time because our round took 5 hours.. worst greens I’ve ever putted on. I’d rather waste my time putting on linrick or oak hills at least semi playable greens. Putts are more bumpy than the gravel roads you take your car on.

Called Hidden Valley for a Reason

After playing this course, Hidden Valley lives up to its name. The course is not in good condition, starting at the tee box. A lot of the tee boxes have the mats on them because the ground was in bad condition. The fairways had lots of sand in the middle of them and the grass was not well kept. Hold 7 in particular had been washed out and the fairway doesn't exist. The greens weren't as bad as the rest of the course, but some of them were still rough and bumpy to putt on. While the layout is intriguing, the course needs a lot of tlc. The staff, however, was very nice and they make you feel welcome. Despite paying only $21, I will probably not be back unless the course is improved.
