Hidden Valley Country Club vs The Club at ArrowCreek

Hidden Valley Country Club and The Club at ArrowCreek are both in Reno, which makes them a real alternative to one another rather than a hypothetical one. The Club at ArrowCreek has 36 holes across 2 courses against 18 at Hidden Valley Country Club, which changes how often you replay the same routing more than any amenity on either list does. The designs come from William F. Bell Jr. and Fuzzy Zoeller and John Harbottle III and Arnold Palmer respectively. Hidden Valley Country Club opened in 1956, 41 years before The Club at ArrowCreek.

Neither club publishes an initiation fee or dues schedule, so the cost question has to be settled by asking both directly — and asking in writing, because the number quoted on a tour is rarely the number on the agreement. Hidden Valley Country Club documents tennis courts and clubhouse that The Club at ArrowCreek does not publish; The Club at ArrowCreek documents practice facility, locker rooms and events and banquets that Hidden Valley Country Club does not. Absence here means we found no public source, not that the facility is missing — worth confirming on a tour if it matters to you. On the evidence we hold: The Club at ArrowCreek if variety of golf is the priority and Hidden Valley Country Club for a household that will use the club midweek.
