Club at Hidden Creek, The
Rating Snapshot
About
The Club at Hidden Creek is one of northwest Florida's most treasured courses. Opened in 1988, it is still relatively young but it has built its reputation on it its well manicured greens and lush landscaping. A few years after opening, a local newspaper ranked it the best golf course in northwest Florida. The course features tree-lined fairways that tumble across scenic rolling terrain. The challenging golf course once served as a host site for the US Open Qualifying Rounds. Water hazards come into play as well as several strategically placed bunkers. Although seasoned golfers are kept on their toes, the layout is more still approachable thank to four different sets of tees. The Club at Hidden Creek has a longstanding reputation amongst the local community and many would consider a visit to the Emerald Coast incomplete without it.

Great Course
Great Corse wide Fairways with challenging pin positions. Green’s had been aireated recently but were still in great shape. I would highly recommend this course.
Great course
Fun course to play. Course in great shape and everyone was friendly. Challenging but not too difficult to hurt playing enjoyment. Will not regret playing this nice course
Aerating greens no problem
We were informed at checking they were aerating the front nine greens so we played the back twice
Great weather great conditions great round
Get some food and you will get a 5 star rating
Other than that excellent
First hole first eagle ever woohoo
Nice course
After 3-4 inches of rain they allowed us to start at noon. Course was really in great shape with a few pools. Nice layout. Just keep it in the fairways.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Great fairways and bumpy greens
Fairways are in overall great shape. The tee boxes are hurting. The greens are fast but receptive as expected at Hidden Creek. However, the greens are the bumpiest I can recall over the past few years and putts don't roll true. I recommend giving this course a few weeks to a month for the greens to fully come in. The course condition is regularly among the top courses in the Panhandle and a great value, and I'm sure it won't be long before it returns to tip top shape again.
A Friendly Place
This is a shot makers course. Not too long, but accuracy is a must. Greens running fast and true. I had the pleasure of being paired with two ladies that are members of the course. They were very helpful and patient with an out of towner. When you get to the pro shop, Give a shout out to Sandra, she's the best. You'll enjoy this round.
Hidden Creek Navarre, FL
Other than a few spots that are currently being repaired, the course is in great condition! The greens are so fast and the fairways are very nice!
Pace of play wasn't very fun as we were waiting a long time on every hole and had people right behind us as well. I guess that's understandable though when so many people are trying to play a very nice course.
Enjoyed and used every club.
Greens were super fast today. Not a bad thing but just letting you know. Challenging course and really fun. Good to play something that makes you use all clubs!!
What Happened?
Have played here for 25 years. The greens were renovated from scratch about 8 years ago and were the best in the region. But when I played yesterday, they were pretty bad, extremely bumpy, spots of Poa Annua grass in the greens. The tee boxes and fairways are even worse with Poa taking over everywhere. I can't believe they are letting this happen. Did the course superintendent leave for another job?
What happened?
Poa anna everywhere , tee boxes are uneven, bunkers are not maintained or small lakes, greens need aerated and watered. Disappointing because in years past this course has been pristine. Hope things come together soon ...

Great Course
Would play this course a lot if I lived closer. great great great.
Course drying out
Low humidity and wind have dried the course nicely. Greens fairly fast.
Fun Course.
Great course with friendly staff. They have cart service and a snack bar. The lounge serves drinks but no food. Still nice sitting on the deck, after golf, sipping a cocktail.
Fun day
Course layout is tough and need to play more than once to figure out. Course could have been in better condition, but most courses are suffering this spring. All in all a good day
