Golf Course Review Hidden Valley Golf Club Norco California

Reviewed by: weber, coto de caza

First off on an overcast morning. Check in was smooth and efficient. Jordan in the pro shop was pleasant and it was nice that he was early so we could get out a few minutes prior to our tee time.

I was disappointed in the greens. I’ll admit that we had a number of greens which were not yet mowed because we frequently got ahead of the mowers, but even those which had been cut were much slower than normal and not very true. Ball seemed to wiggle en-route to the cup. Fairways were decent, some having some dry spots, but generally OK. Tee boxes were not good. Many were not level, some with heavy divot damage. Green-side bunkers were a frequently flooded, or were so compacted, it was like mud. There was sand there, it just needs to be maintained.

This is a tough golf course from the tips, particularly for this senior, but the visuals are so worth the struggle. But I must admit that the tee shots on #2 , #5, #6, & #11 require everything I have to manage the hole. Time to “play it forward”
