Hidden Valley Golf Course opened in 1958 in Schuylkill County, within reach of Interstates 81 and 78 as well as Routes 61 and 443, placing it a short drive from Berks, Lebanon and Dauphin counties.
The property was previously a dairy farm, home to a Guernsey cattle operation owned and run by William L. Jones Sr. Its conversion to golf became the first course of the family-owned Distinct Golf Corporation, which today operates five public courses.
Mature trees and wooded stretches frame the holes, and the layout features large greens and numerous bunkers, giving golfers of varying ability a round with some challenge.
