I am just back from a trip down to Naples on which I was able to play a couple of rounds at Hideout. I am more impressed with the course each time I play. It was in terrific condition, though they were protecting the greens by skipping the rolling in anticipation of the member-guest this weekend (so not lightening fast, but still faster than your average green).
The mix of holes is terrific. Long and short, bending to the right and the left, greens with subtle movement and greens with dramatic movement, interesting risk/reward opportunities and the chance to think your way around the course as well.
Many of the high points of Hideout have already been described above, so I will just echo the bottomline - Hideout is a great place to play golf in SW Florida. It is everything you hope golf in Florida could be (and more) and it focuses on golf without the other accoutrements.
