About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6892 yards
Slope 136
Rating 74.0

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.

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.

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 value

This is a fun course and unique to Jax with its elevation changes. Weekday play is generally pretty sparce, so tee times are usually available.

Twosomes everywhere

Get to the first tea and they are already behind and there is no starter and there were five groups of twosomes. Needless to say the round was painfully slow and obviously no ranger so all you need is one twosome to hold up the whole golf course and that’s exactly what happened, Won’t return until I see some reviews that say this has been fixed
