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 day for golf
That's a very nice day playing golf in hiddencreek met some nice people Mike and Betty they were delightful always enjoying myself at Hidden Creek. I do wish the restaurant would reopen hopefully they'll find someone to bring in there soon!
Fun day with friends.
Course was in good condition with a few bare spots in the fairways compared to Summer golf when pretty lush and full. Pace of play was good and course was busy. All the staff very friendly. Every hole seemed to have challenges!
Great golf course
Course in great shape, greens are very fast and roll true, highly recommend. Thanks
HIDDEN CREEK IS HIDDEN GEM
FIRST TIME AT THIS COURSE AND FOUND IT TO BE A VERY PLAYABLE TRACT. GREENS WERE FIRM BUT TRUE. FAIRWAYS WERE WET( ON SOME HOLES) DUE TO THEIR UNUSUAL PRACTICE OF WATERING. PACE WAS SLOW DUE TO THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND NO MARSHALLS ON THE COURSE TO ENCOURAGE SLOWER GROUPS. OVERALL WE LIKED THE COURSE, THE STAFF AND WILL BE BACK.
Slow slow and slow
This is a good course but the pace of play is painful
Looking for balls unready golf and uncaring about the groups behind you that are being held up is a big problem on this course
They have Marshall’s but they are ineffective
When there are multiple open holes in front of a group, you know the Marshall isn’t doing his job
Fun Friendly
We have played here before and it was a pleasure to come back
Great friendly course
Really enjoyed the playability of course challenging yet fun.
Slow as molasses
I brought a friend to play it was his first time at hidden creek. The course was in decent shape for mid winter. Soggy in areas due to recent rain but overall good. The issue was the people in front of us or a couple groups ahead we’re playing exceptionally slow and we’re never approached by a marshal to speed them up subsequently we weren’t able to finish our round. Got too dark to finish the last couple holes. Very disappointing and a waste of money. I really like this course and will play again but maybe they can move things along in the future
Lastly we came in at the turn about 330 and was told the restaurant moved out and the snack bar was closed get it together people
Pace of play dropped the ball
Slow play by members backed up the course and Marshall was too chickenshit to urge them on
I'll play Marcus point next time
Good Morning Sir,
Thank you for your feedback and we apologize if the pace of play was too slow for you. We were very busy in the morning and had a small member Valentine's Day event in the afternoon. I noticed you left us a great 5 star review a few weeks ago with all "Excellent's and Good's" and we appreciate that. Next time you have an issue, please contact the Pro Shop during your round to give us a chance to rectify the situation before writing a bad review. Please feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions or want to discuss this matter further.
Very Respectfully,
Jamie O'Connor
Golf Operations Manager
Enjoyable course
Enjoyed the course. Great layout. Pace of play was good. Greens in good shape for this time of year. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend it to players of all skills
Thank you for your 4 Star review and the positive feedback!
Good price for a nice course
It's February so you know the fairways will be bare and a bit hard. Greens are still good, very fast but true. The layout gives you a lot to be careful of or you're going to make a big number. Snack bar is awesome, hand made sandwiches are the best, hot dogs are huge. Beers and even bloody mary are priced right. Nice pro shop, nice staff, nice little bar for post round beverage. Driving range is decent too.
Thank you for the 5 star review! Thank you for coming out and we look forward to seeing you again!

Good value and fair playing conditions
The course layout was fair; the greens were fast. I enjoyed the three persons I was paired with which made the day very enjoyable! I played the middle white tees which made the course manageable. The course has a reasonable amount of bunkers, ponds, trees and grass mounds throughout the fairways to give the course character and challenge. I played the course in the winter season, so the fairways had not greened up yet which caused fairways to have typically very tight lies. Near the greens I pitched the ball to the green instead of my typical higher trajectory wedge play. The course green fees were reasonable and I would play again. The pro shop allowed me to play with denim jeans but I was asked to wear my rain pants over them to comply with dress code; I had a collared shirt which complied with course dress code. Pro shop was nice about dress code because I did not know their specific rules.
Thank you for your detailed review and we hope to see you back out here soon!
Great course
The course layout is great and the greens are fast. The back 9 is a little tighter than the front. It was our first time playing and we will be back. The play was somewhat slow. They do have cart service and a snack bar. The clubhouse bar was open but they didn’t serve food. Oh well. Overall a great experience.
