Hidden
Valley Lake Golf Club is the only 18 hole golf course in Lake County.
Designed by Billy Bell (Torrey Pines in San Diego), our course offers
you two courses in one. The front nine is wide open, so you can bring out the big stick. You are
going to need it, the front nine measures 3,533 yards from the back
tees.
The back nine is as tight as the front nine is long. This gives the
short knocker in the group a chance to catch up, measuring 3,134 yards.
Whether you are long or short off the tee, the back nine requires
pinpoint accuracy.
Water hazards add to the challenge at Hidden Valley Lake, coming into
play on seven holes. If you manage to play around the water, one of the
many ancient oak trees will surely grab your attention.
"Great design" is only part of the attraction of Hidden Valley
Lake Golf Club. Meticulous maintenance is the other key
ingredient.
Start your game by warming up on our grass driving range. Also, be sure
to brush up on your short game on the putting green, practice bunker and
chipping area.
