Hidden Falls Golf Club

Love this course and the staff. Great place to play

Needs some work. I think their mower is broken? Hard to tell the difference between Fairway and the Rough. Tee boxes are like a jungle. Greens need to be rolled and weeded. Other than that, the Layout is pretty fun.

The reason I booked this round was based on the majority of 4 star reviews. After the hour plus commute from Austin, I was disappointed with the course conditions. The driving range is St. Augustine grass. St. Augustine has crept into the fairways and greens as well. There are other weeds or clover in the greens as well. The greens are ultra slow and bumpy as a result. Although the price was fair, it was not worth the 2+ hours of driving in the car round trip.

Course in great condition considering the drought.
No waiting. Mowed and well maintained.

The pro shop is AWAYS super friendly.

Course is always green, even in this year’s heat. No bare spots. Greens are a bit slow, but they are consistent.

Always a good time and great value!! Worth the hour drive from Austin.

Had a good deal for a morning tee time on Labor Day weekend, snagged the opportunity to get away from the city for part of the day. Pro shop manager and course marshal were friendly and welcoming. Free range balls, grass range - lots of positives to start the day.

However, course was already backed up at at 830AM, pace of play was poor (waiting on pretty much every hole) until middle of the back nine, as we jumped one of the problematic groups at the turn, and then another one of the laggard groups in front eventually bailed about 13/14.

Course itself was pretty beat up, really suffering from the multi-month drought/heat impacting central Texas currently. Some courses have been able to make it through relatively unscathed (though I'm sure requiring considerable effort/investment), but unfortunately Hidden Falls has not. Hard as a rock/desert/fully brown stretches on much of the course. Greens terribly inconsistent. Tee boxes in rough condition.

At its best, I think the price is fair - a $55 morning round on the weekend is a good value for a smaller public, real-estate type of course like this, a bit out of the way... but wait for conditions to improve substantially. There are courses in much better shape / more interesting layout within an hour radius for the time being, for a marginally higher cost.

All tee boxes and greens are in perfect condition. Only the fringes of the fairways are brown. No temporary greens either. How they do it I can't tell but the course is in wonderful condition still.

The course was in pretty good shape given how hot and dry it's been. A few of the greens were a little rough but played ok. The pace was very good. I started alone but joined 2 others and we finished in just under 4 hours. Started play at about 12:45pm so it was pretty hot, not too many people out on the course.

Overall would recommend playing, it was fun.

I purchased t-time on line as required. However 4 days before play I had to cancel with pro shop. I was told I had to get refund from on line company.Even though Hidden Falls received my purchase,they would not let me reschedule. There is a reason they are not busy,no rease they would not let me walk on. 3rd tier country course, Legends course much more professional.

My son and I went out to play the course. The staff is always super friendly and they are glad you are there. The course was in pretty good shape. The layout is fun, but most of all it isn't a 5 hour round like you find in many courses now. We make the trip every so often just for a nice relaxing afternoon.
