The Valley You Don't See from the Freeway

The place

Hiddenbrooke is named correctly. You leave the interstate, drop into a residential valley, and the course appears as if Vallejo had a secret. Palmer's routing uses the hills instead of fighting them. On a clear day the Bay Area feels close. On a foggy one, the valley keeps the round to itself.

JW’s personal notes from the round will live here — the funny moment, the people, the 19th hole — without inventing what hasn’t been written yet.
