Local guests (residing within 100 miles of the Club) are limited to twice per month. Out-of-town guests may be issued a guest card for a period of two weeks with a limit of once per year. Guest cards will be issued in conformity with the Utah State liquor laws and regulations. Members are responsible for the conduct and charges of their guests. Guests may not golf at Hidden Valley without the member. Members may have a maximum of three golfing guests at any one time (one four-some). Arrangements must be made in advance with the golf shop for such privileges.
• Cell phones – It is expected that all members and their guests will be respectful of others while using cell phones and other forms of wireless communication. If you need to use your phone while at the Club, please find an out-of-the-way place, away from others. Please refrain from taking calls in the Grille or Lounge areas of the clubhouse. If you are expecting a call while with others, inform them, excuse yourself and retire to a private spot where you can take the call. If members and their guests respect others, the enjoyment factor at Hidden Valley will increase for everyone.
