Hidden Hills Golf Club
About
Tucked away in the beautiful Ft. Caroline area near Jacksonville, Hidden Hills Golf 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 public 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 Golf Club's greens are well bunkered.
Hidden Hills has a rating of 74.0 from the championship tees, and the slope rating is 136.

Golfer Reviews
No, just no
What is going on with Jacksonville courses. Second one in three weeks that is in horrible condition.
Played Hidden Hills on Thursday the 2nd. The greens were in decent shape, a little slow and bumpy but at least they were green. But the fairways were a disaster. Most of the fairways were brown and dead and hard as a rock because there was just dead grass. There were occasional spots of green areas It’s like they’ve never watered them. I don’t get how these courses are falling apart and still charging full price. It’s too bad because the course layout is challenging and would be fun if it was in good shape, buttttt, it’s not .
One less course to play
Oh and the guy in the pro-shop came across rude and unfriendly
Gorgeous
Awesome course, can’t wait to go back and play it again.
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 TOP PICK

Conditions are Abysmal
This course went from incredible conditions in December to being in the worst condition I've ever seen it in a matter of 4 months time. What happened??
We apologize for the decline in conditions you've experienced; significant weather challenges and operational hurdles have unfortunately impacted us. Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we are actively working to restore the course to its high standard.
Good Value
Fairways and tee boxes have seen better days. Greens are progressively getting better as the year goes on. Challenging course & great value for $
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u412913326. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting TOP PICK

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!
We apologize for the less than ideal experience you had on our course, and acknowledge the issues with pace of play and course conditions you mentioned. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention, and we are committed to addressing them to improve the experience for all our guests.
Fun course
Fun course - greens were a little slow/furry but overall great experience
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, u169355225! We look forward to seeing you again soon at TOP PICK
Hidden Hills Golf Course.
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 apologize for the conditions you described and the pace issue you experienced; thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're committed to improvement and hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience.
Still needs work
This could be a great course but needs some work. Most tee boxes were mostly sand. Greens are getting better than the last time I played. Fairways appear to be scalped and in need of water & grass. Will continue to play especially with hot deals.
We're sorry to hear that aspects of the course need improvement, but we're glad you've noticed the greens getting better. Thank you for your feedback and your continued support.
Skow play!!
Need a ranger! Fairways were OK.. lots of hard snad and grass. Greens were bumpy and fast.
