Just a five minute drive from the Edgewater Resort this beautiful course is located in the shadow of majestic Mt. Konocti and encircles a small lake on the beautiful Buckingham Peninsula. It is rated among the top three nine hole courses in California. Eighteen sets of tees provide for eighteen distinctively different holes of golf. Some of the fairways are tight but there's plenty of chances to use a driver and then some. It is home to the annual "Celebrity Quarterback Shootout Tournament" featuring football's most famous quarterbacks and players. This annual tournament is held the Saturday before Labor Day Weekend. Be sure to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the Tee Room Restaurant & Lounge. The private dock accommodates golfers and diners that arrive by boat. Sandra, co-owner at the Edgewater Resort, got her first "Hole in Three" on the par three, third hole here is 1999. How do you get a "Hole in Three"? Your first tee shot goes in the lake and your second tee shot goes in the hole!

HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

Andy Gonzales, Golf Professional

Just a forty-five minute drive from the Edgewater Resort this is the only eighteen hole golf course in Lake County. The front nine is relatively flat, wide open and long, 3533 yards, so you can bring out the big stick. The back nine winds through the hills and beautiful subdivision homes, is as tight as the front nine is long giving the short player in the group a chance to catch up. Whether long or short off the tee, the back nine requires pin-point accuracy. For some shots you'll enjoy incredible vistas of the valley below. For nature lovers you'll enjoy families of deer who may come into play on any hole. Amenities include pro shop, lounge, restaurant, driving range and putting green.
