Hidden Hills Golf Course
About
Tucked away in the beautiful Ft. Caroline area near Jacksonville, Hidden Hills Country Club stands on a historic battleground that witnessed the fierce struggles between France and Spain and continued into golf history with searing competition during the heyday of the Greater Jacksonville Open.
The 6,892-yard private golf course, built in 1966 on an ancient sand dune, was redesigned by Arnold Palmer in 1986. Palmer's creativity helped create a championship-caliber golf course unmatched in natural beauty that makes excellent use of rare hilly terrain to create a unique Florida golf challenge. The fairways are lined with majestic pines and stately oaks, and the unpredictable greens have helped Hidden Hills gain the reputation of being one of the most challenging courses in North Florida.
Sharp doglegs, strategic placement of water hazards and putting surfaces that are mostly elevated serve up a mighty test for the low handicapper. Approaches are narrow and many of Hidden Hills Country Club's greens are well bunkered.
Hidden Hills has a rating of 74.0 from the championship tees, and the slope rating is 136.

Tough first 9 holes
First 9 holes really tough with lot's of water. Fairways and greens were fine, some of the tee-offs were really awful however
Solid course
We do enjoy Hidden Hills when the pace of play is quick as it was today. Greens were a little brown and rough in places but good course which we frequent monthly
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Hidden Hills Golf Course.

The course was fun to play, every kind of shot and lie, some spots were in need of tlc, but overall, well worth playing. The staff was great

Challenging golf course.
HH is a challenging course that is well maintained and it has a friendly staff. The golf carts are very comfortable. Course management is paramount at Hidden Hills.

Very nice
Really enjoyed playing at this course, very nice layout , easy playing , and for whatever reason , my wife and I played the entire 18 holes without anyone else to be seen!
Great experience
Great value for money!
This course is well worth a visit for the price point. Excellent value for money. The first 12 holes have a lot of water that is in play, so it can lead to a few lost balls. As a result pace of play can be a little slow and there are no rangers on the course to help faster groups play through.
That being said, the layout is great, condition is good and the greens are in good condition. I would definitely play again.
Good layout
Greens were in very good condition, and good pace to them. Course conditions were good.
Gone down hill badly
Played a five hour round today. Foursome in front of us was sharing clubs and clearly first time players for one couple. Each person would putt six or seven times and then when three of them were done, the fourth would borrow a putter and take her five or six putts. And there were seven people playing on the hole ahead of them. The course management really needs to do something about this. And there’s no grass in the fairways, tee boxes are all sand and the greens look like someone did donuts on them. I can’t imagine going back unless there’s absolutely no place else to play. Sad because it used to be a great course!
Fun course
Fun course - greens were a little slow/furry but overall great experience
Needs TLC
Tee boxes - Mediocre
Fairways - Concrete dirt with little grass
Greens - Crabgrass obstacles
Pace - Sucked and the ranger knew it. Even told us the group two holes ahead were the cause but did not do anything about it. Nearly a five hour round!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, hyacynthe. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Hidden Hills Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
