Hidden Greens is an underrated 18-hole Public Golf Course that rests nestled in the woods four miles south of Hastings on Hwy. 61. Designed by renowned Minnesota architect Joel Goldstrand,
Hidden Greens features a marvelous variety of holes, and is an incredibly valid test of shot-making.
Located within a State Game Refuge, Hidden Greens plays host to a whole host of wildlife, including deer, turtles, birds, and turkey.
All of this is complemented by the magnificently kept putting greens, which roll as true as syrup on a Sunday morning for literally six months of the year.
