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.

Tough little course

This course is amazing. Tough though. Water everywhere and if not water sand. Lost some balls, made some great shots. If you’re close by, play it!

Hidden Gem

Met Joe one of the members when I was hitting balls on the driving range. He advised me the course was tight and not to expect any roll out on the driver. He was bang on.

Had to play lift clean and place as every drive was a plug or there was a piece of mud on the ball. Course set up best for me off the back tees so if you are a 10 or less handicap and fly the ball 240 ish the course opens up best from the tips..

I will certainly go back in the summer months as the layout is beautiful and we may get some needed roll out on the drives..
If you can set your driver at 8.5 degrees and neurtal that should help you squeeze out another 10 to 20 yards..

Definitely worth the green fees..

All good except a bit wet

Though it hasn’t rained that much lately and it’s been windy, there are a lot of wet and muddy spots on the course.

nice track

Enjoyed the layout, green conditions and overall course conditions. Got paired up with a nice couple - had a great time. Like the turn bar as a quick way to grab a beverage between 9's and get off to #10.
We shall return!

Always enjoy

Course is always in good shape, except #8, the mid-third of the hole has been unplayable the last few times I’ve played here, just too much water on the whole...,it’s ashamed, cuz it’s probably one of the more interesting holes on the course! Please fix it!

Golfing Weekend with Buddies

What a pleasant surprise!

Have been to this area many times over the last 30 years but never for golf.

We rented a place on the beach and several of my buddies came over for a couple rounds of golf.

The layout of the course is excellent and we enjoyed great pace of play! While there are houses on most every hole, they are setback at a most comfortable distance. Very engaged staff as well.

Thank You!
