Hidden Hills

Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is it to find Hidden Hills, and what's the vibe once you're there?

Don't let the name fool you; while it feels wonderfully secluded, getting to Hidden Hills is straightforward, just a bit off the main highway. Once you arrive, you'll immediately feel the relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere - it's a true golfer's escape, not a resort scene.

What's the biggest challenge at Hidden Hills, especially with all those elevation changes?

The most significant test here is definitely managing the severe elevation changes, particularly on the back nine where the hills truly come into play. We recommend taking an extra club on uphill shots and trusting your yardage book for those tricky downhill approaches to avoid overshooting the greens.

When's the best time of year to play Hidden Hills for optimal conditions and views?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall for the best experience. The weather is perfect for walking the hilly terrain, and the surrounding foliage, whether blooming or changing colors, adds an incredible backdrop to every hole, especially around the scenic 12th.

Is Hidden Hills a good value, and what should I expect regarding green fees and amenities?

Absolutely, Hidden Hills offers fantastic value for the quality of golf you get. While it's not a budget course, your green fee includes a cart - which you'll appreciate on the hills - and access to a well-maintained practice facility, making it a solid investment for a memorable round.

What's the one 'must-know' tip for someone playing Hidden Hills for the first time?

Pay close attention to your putts; the greens at Hidden Hills are notoriously subtle and often break more than they appear, especially towards the valley. Spend extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their unique character before your round.
