over the years. Matt’s brother knew Kroll and
Fox and recommended him for the job.
Hecht brought his experience and knowledge
of horticulture, plus his youthful energy to
Hidden Hills and has undertaken several
projects to upgrade the course, since he arrived
three years ago.
Over 200 trees have been removed to improve air
flow, remove diseased trees and add to the overall
aesthetic of the course. New tees have been added
on Nos. 1, 3, 17 and 18 that allow better playing
conditions and stretch the golf course.
The new tee at No. 17 adds additional lines of
sight for golfers and increases the enjoyment,
as well as, the difficulty of the hole.
Improved cart paths, new sodding, additional
seeding and repair to damaged grass was one
of the first priorities for Hecht and continues to
be a constant battle, but he is gaining ground.
One of the major completed projects was a
new bridge over the small creek that comes
into play on several holes on the course. The
bridge allows the usage of a new tee box for
No. 3 that added 50 yards to the length of the
hole and added bigger numbers to player’s
scorecards.
Hecht enjoys working outside and loves his
duties at Hidden Hills. He told us,
“We are very happy to provide a quality golf
experience for area golfers and will continue
to maintain Hidden Hills in the best possible
condition every day for every round.”
The owners have also added 60 new golf carts
and a new Toro Tri-Plex mowers to keep the
greens rolling smooth.
WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO PROVIDE A QUALITY GOLF

TO MAINTAIN HIDDEN HILLS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE
CONDITION EVERY DAY FOR EVERY ROUND.
