Golf in Hidden Valley Lake

Hidden Valley Lake is a residential community in Lake County in the Mayacamas Mountains, south of Clear Lake and north of the Napa Valley. The community occupies mountainous terrain at roughly 1,500 to 2,000 feet elevation, centered on a small reservoir. Lake County sits in the hills north of Napa County, and Hidden Valley Lake represents one of the more accessible portions of the county's mountain zone. The community is primarily residential, drawing residents who value the foothill setting and reasonable access to the Napa Valley and Bay Area via Highway 29 and State Route 175. The Mayacamas Mountains give the broader area a distinct character from the flat valley floors to the east and west. Hidden Valley Lake has community amenities and draws a mix of full-time residents and part-time visitors from the Bay Area. Lake County overall has a modest commercial economy, with recreation and retirement serving as major draws for incoming residents.
