Public golf course in Rehoboth, MA, 02769.
Hidden Hollow Country Club in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, is the kind of nine-hole track where you can sneak in a round after work and still make it home for dinner. Designed by William B Clark in 1960, it winds through gentle New England hills, with just enough elevation—over 50 meters from low point to high—to keep your legs honest. The layout tips out at 2,905 yards for nine, playing to a par of 35, so it never feels like a slog. Don’t let the modest numbers fool you, though—Hidden Hollow has its quirks. Twelve well-placed bunkers and a couple of water features are ready to catch the unwary, especially if you get greedy on the two doglegs that tempt you to cut the corner.
The real charm comes from the relaxed, small-club atmosphere. You’ll find a simple but handy practice green and a clubhouse that feels more like a gathering spot than a palace. Conditions are solid for the price, and the value here is off the charts—rare to see a score of 5 out of 5 these days, but Hidden Hollow delivers. It’s not a course that beats you up; with a difficulty rating on the easy side, it’s ideal for newer players or anyone looking to boost their confidence. That said, the moderate walkability means you’ll get a bit of exercise—nothing crazy, but enough to notice on a humid summer afternoon.
Best for casual golfers, newer players, or anyone who wants great bang for the buck and a laid-back round without fuss.
