Hidden Valley is 30 minutes south of Springfield in Clever, and is worth the drive out in the country to play. The course opened in the 1970's, and was designed by Mario Alfonso, playing to 6,611 yards with a 71.9 course rating and a 118 slope. Beautiful setting routed through a valley over mostly level land with a good mix of interesting holes, fair, but challenging for all levels of skill. It's reasonably priced, conditions are always good, and you can get around in a reasonable amount of time since it never seems to be that busy. Very scenic and quiet setting, fantastic in the Fall.
