Stay away.

The pace of play allowed at the course today allowed me to write this review between shots. The course is like a swamp, and the pace of play is miserable a course in this condition cannot allow 8 minute Tee times. I would suggest playing elsewhere. It was not worth $18

Hello and thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve and use your comments as guidance in doing so. Thank you for playing Northwoods Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Northwoods is BACK!

I have lived in Columbia since 2002, but have avoided Northwoods for about the last 8 or 9 years for reasons such as bad greens, course conditions, no water on the course, and unfriendly staff. The course has made a 180 degree turnaround and I will be back there as often as possible. There are still some brown spots in fairways, but the recent heat has been punishing to all of the local courses. The staff at Northwoods is doing a great job keeping this course in good conditions and the greens are some of the nicest in the Columbia area - they are fast and they roll true. Do yourself a favor and get out to the Spur at Northwoods soon!

Best in YEARS

Today's round at Oak Hills was great, albeit VERY hot. This is absolutely the best this course has looked in years. The tee boxes were cut very short and so were the fairways. I believe there was some kind of amateur tourney there today and that may have been part of it. Even with the extremely hot, dry weather we have had, the entire course is VERY green. The greens are still coming around, but they were receptive, if just a little slow. They have obviously been verticut and aerated in the past several weeks and are really improving. I would highly recommend a round here soon!

Stay away

I play a lot of golf in Columbia. Many of the courses are still recovering from winterkill on the greens, etc. That being said, Hidden Valley must be the worst course in Columbia. The tea boxes are awful. The greens are sub par and the fairways are spotty at best. The greens fees were really low, however I would still recommend staying away from this course. If you are at all a serious golfer this is not the place for you.

One of the best in Columbia

I have lived in Columbia for 15 years and played Oak Hills hundreds of times. This is the absolute best shape this course has been in since I have lived in Columbia. The fairways and tee boxes are immaculate and the greens are in super-great shape. You WILL NOT find a better value in Columbia! Get out and play at Oak Hills today!
