Hidden Creek Golf Course

A Hidden Jewel in Reston Virginia

"Hidden Creek's golf course is still one of the most playable courses in the Washington metropolitan area...and after 35 years it's still fun and challenging." ~Stephen A. Wexler, Member since 1973.

The Hidden Creek Country Club is family oriented where families can get together as well as private moments for the moms and dads while the children can enjoy with activities planned out by the club. With the exquisite club just remodeled, it can also be the place where corporate meetings can take place. The Fitness Center offers quality workouts with their fully equipped cardiovascular and weight training facilities along with a personal trainer and yoga instructor. Hidden Creek Swimming Pool is of 25 meters providing the perfect spot for family fun, personal workout, relaxation and hangout with friends. There is a wading pool assigned for children especially tots and toddlers with of course adult supervision. Certified lifeguards supervise the pools. Food and refreshments by the pool are offered by the Cabana Bar. The Hidden Creek Hurricanes Swim Team won as the 2009 Division Champions in the DCCL League under the training of Head Coach Steve Ercolano. Tennis Programs are available for everyone of all ages using 2 indoor heated courts. Individual and group sessions are offered by Hidden Creek’s tennis professionals. Ten reasons why Hidden Creek members are always excited about playing their golf course:
  1. Peaceful, gently undulating and mature tree-lined golf course with few homes and a commitment to pure golf.
  2. A good mix of tough holes and less challenging ones. Holes four through six are three of the toughest holes in Northern Virginia, yet the 18th is a sporty hole that offers a good chance for a closing birdie.
  3. Top country club course condition
  4. Bent grass fairways and greens immaculately maintained year-round.
  5. Walkability.
  6. A wonderful course for juniors. The traditional and strategic Ed Ault design is perfect for the young golfer—and their parents.
  7. A fine course for all levels of player.
  8. A great course for a "game".  With a good mix of holes, members enjoy the fun of friendly competition with other members.
  9. A commitment to fast play.
  10. Proximity to downtown Washington, DC and the entire metropolitan area.
