I wish I knew

This is a beautiful layout, and a great golf course. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending upon your thinking they had just sanded the greens a couple of days before I played. I understand maintaining beautiful greens, they need to be sanded and plugged; I just wish I would’ve known before I played. I signed up through GolfNow, and wish that information was available to me.

Thank you staff

I have played this course numerous times, I love the place it is an incredible golf course, and it is stunning. I hurt my back, which is something I don’t do, and the staff was so incredibly helpful to me. They made an experience that was quite painful, one that I was very thankful for their help.

Thank you

I have played this course numerous times, and have always enjoyed every moment of this beautiful course. Yesterday I hurt my back, which is unusual for me, and after a few holes I could no longer proceed. I can never thank the staff, for the help they gave me; especially Tonya. I will look forward to the next time; I can only thank all of the staff for their help. Sincerely Keith

An incredible day

It is such a beautiful layout, exceptionally beautiful, surprisingly lush underneath a drought in California. I had a great day of golf, and a great lunch, will always look forward to coming back here. It’s pricey, and when the deals are there, so will lI.

A beautiful day

When I drove in my temperature was taken, everything was already Paid for. I just picked up my cart and went immediately to the driving range. Then the Marshal came by and let me know when my time was, which He was very efficient and courteous. My understanding is they have given more time between golfers and foursomes so nobody was pressing us we were not pressing anyone. The staff had their mask on, and seemed very well aware, and respectful of all of our health concerns. A great day

I would really like to thank the administration of Hidden Valley Lake, for keeping the course ground crew staff on during the closing of the course and their continuing diligent, and professional beautification of this course. As a player, who plays this course quite often, I give everyone a tip of my hat to the grounds crew, and all of the staff; you make it a pleasure to play golf here.

A beautiful golf day

I have been playing golf at sea Ranch, for probably 35 years. It is such a beautiful track, The front nine wines around the ocean, the back nine is up on the inland, which I find much more challenging. The course is undeniably stunning. It definitely is not in the same shape it was in 35 years ago, it’s still in good shape and beautiful, with stunning views. I have found it to be a very special place, even as it is showing its age, and somewhat neglect.

An incredible Spring day in February

The course was in absolutely great shape, the fairways were hard enough for the ball to bounce down the Fairways, the greens were very receptive and pure, the breeze added a challenge; it was just another great day on my home course.

Wow sunny February

First off I would like to just tip my hat to the greenskeeper, and all the staff on the course; and of course the incredible people who work in the pro shop; they take such great care of this golf course, and are always extremely friendly. It is always such a pleasure to play this course regardless, whether or not I brought my “A” game.

Another day in paradise

A great day, weather perfect, even though I didn’t have my A game; it is always in such great shape. I drive an hour to play, it is that good.
My fellow golfers need to fix their ball marks on the green; it’s disrespectful not too.

It’s a great layout, it’s beautiful, challenging, and in superb shape; I drive an hour just to play this course.

A beautiful winter day, absolutely enjoying the opportunity to be outside and playing golf. All the fairways were open for carts, the course is in great shape especially for this time of year, and the greens couldn’t be more pure; always a pleasure playing golf In my neighborhood.

Somewhat disappointed ,
So many of the holes were the same, large dividing sand traps, par three greens surrounded by water. I will not hurry back, to many other more imaginative courses to play.

The course was pretty wet, but still very playable. Another enjoyable day in the neighborhood; it felt wonderful to leave 2019 behind as I smashed long drives down the middle of the fairways.

Sunshine and gray skies

I thought the course was in really good shape for as much rain as we have received here. There are a few holes that you had to keep the cart on the path and walk to your ball; not inconvenient for me, it’s part exercise for me.
As usual the staff and groundskeepers are always absolutely friendly and very much care how your experience was on the course. I am always taken back, for their commitment and dedication in keeping this course in the best shape possible. It is such a pleasure at this time of year, with as much rain has that occurred that we are getting a golf course that can be played, and enjoyed.

Another day in paradise

This is my home course, and I play it quite frequently. Each time I come out here the course seems to be in a better shape. I think for community golf course this is outstanding, and they do an incredible job to keep this up. The greens are absolutely beautiful after being irritated about a month ago; it just is in prime condition. I have always found the staff, whether it’s in the pro shop or out on the course, are always friendly helpful and always want you to enjoy your experience here.

A beautiful fall day

I play this golf course quite regularly, it’s always a pleasure. I am always taken back at the pride the entire staff takes in its maintenance, conditions, and it’s commitment to improving the course. The greens were aerated about a week and a half ago to two weeks, the greens will be unbelievable when they are ready; but it’s still absolutely fun to play.

The Zen of golf

It was a beautiful breezy day, with the weather smiling at my every shot. The entire staff at Hidden Valley Lake golf are always working on making the golf experience what I think it should be. They take such pride in the care taking, ground keeping, to making sure you are enjoying your experience. I am a a pretty fast player, and I never have to wait, and it is never difficult to pass if necessary. Always a pleasure

A beautiful day, hindered by slow play

I really enjoy this golf course, it’s scenic, it’s so well kept and a pleasure to play. It’s challenging, but not over the top. Today I was looking forward to such a great round. Unfortunately, it was so slow, and it didn’t need to be that way. I find as a golfer, that some new golfers are not acquainted with golf etiquette and the fundamentals of the game of Golf. We finally had to ask a Marshal, to confront the foursome that were so slow. He was a very nice gentleman, and when ahead and did that; but we shouldn’t of had to ask, it should have been handled by the club. I understand a club wants to attract as many golfers as possible, but if they’re not confronted they don’t learn and change.

Dear Rkeith17135.

Thank you for playing and for your feedback. We will use this information to better inform our player assistants and prevent this issue in the future. It can certainly be a challenge as it seems golf etiquette has gone out the window in the past few years, but as in industry we are working on long term solutions.

Thank you again and come see us again soon!
