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.

Great Layout - Pace of Play Not So Much
This is actually the first time I've complained about pace of play at Hidden Hills. We started out with a 30-minute delay with no explanation and then throughout the round we were stacked sometimes two to three foursomes on a hole. Never saw a ranger on the course to monitor pace to play. After 5 hours we finally stopped after #16. The group in front of us skipped 16 and I presume they went on to play 17.
I chalk this up to an anomaly for Hidden Hills. Usually pace to play is normally within 4 hours and 15 minutes.
Would still highly recommend Hidden Hills as the layout is awesome.
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.

Tempo Killer
Very slow pace of play. No starter or ranger to manage the delays.
Hole 5 (par 3) had a wait line of 4 groups (16 players) built up.
One positive is that the beverage cart was parked there like a food truck and everyone got tanked in preparation for the 5 hour round.

We do like this course
Hidden Hills is a good course. We didn't shoot good numbers which reflects some poor shots and difficult holes. Front nine has more water. Back nine has a gator in one of the water holes and some long holes. Tee boxes could be greener and some of the greens have damage that hopefully is been addressed but all in all an enjoyable course, friendly staff and collegial members

Course needs water!
The course played fair. There was alot of fairways that had bare spots. I know that Jacksonville hasn’t had much rain but the fairways are suffering..
There were 3 foursomes ahead of us. The one directly in front of us putted one guy at a time and the next guy wouldn’t approach his ball to put until the last guy left the putting surface.. Annoying and inconsiderate!.
