The Club at Hidden Creek is one of northwest Florida's most treasured courses. Opened in 1988, it is still relatively young but it has built its reputation on it its well manicured greens and lush landscaping. A few years after opening, a local newspaper ranked it the best golf course in northwest Florida. The course features tree-lined fairways that tumble across scenic rolling terrain. The challenging golf course once served as a host site for the US Open Qualifying Rounds. Water hazards come into play as well as several strategically placed bunkers. Although seasoned golfers are kept on their toes, the layout is more still approachable thank to four different sets of tees. The Club at Hidden Creek has a longstanding reputation amongst the local community and many would consider a visit to the Emerald Coast incomplete without it.

Club at Hidden Creek

The course was in great shape except for the 9th hole which had some flood damage from the recent hurricane. For the price, my round was a great value.

Not going back

Interestingly, back in March, when Covid reared its ugly head, the Board of Directors of this country club decided, probably on the advice of their lawyers, that they would make every golfer sign a "covid waiver" which, in essence absolves them of any liability should one happen to contract the dreaded disease while playing the course. OK fine. But then, you walk into the pro shop and no employee is wearing a mask...they don't require it. So they're willing to put my health at risk as long as I sign their waiver. Never again.

Great course in great condition! Fun to play.

The only thing that would have improved our
experience was if clubhouse and restaurant were open, but due to COVID,
that was not possible. Wonderful place to play and staff friendly and
course was well marshalled!

Still haven't found the creek.....so they know their stuff!

Great time every time!!! I love how they start you with a driveable par four. High draw over the tall pines or baby fade it just around the corner hoping it had a nice roll. Favorite holes are #5 and #7. Its a great course and the staff are easy going. Thanks to all of y'all!

The club

Course is in great shape. Sand traps are loose sand and deep. The fairways are lined by mature trees with rolling mounds. No water on the course to navigate. Would play the course again.
