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.

Fairways
The fairways are in need of grass, however had a ball with the layout of the course. Challenging and fun.

Poor Greens Continue
This course was once a hidden gem, but the greens for the past 2 years are a mess and have seen very little improvement. Fairways and tee boxes were not much better...I will not be playing here again until they fix the mess and lower their rates, not a good value.

Poor fairways and greens

The fairways were dry and sparse. The greens were also dry and spotty. I like the course and would recommend it if it was allowed to grow more lush to make more consistent play.

Nice course
Different than ever course in Jax. A little out of shape but worth it and fun
Leevino337, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Hidden Hills Golf Course.
Course in in horrible shape. No grass in the fairways and the greens have been scarified.
The point of no return
I will be short and to the point. From tee to green, the conditions were extremely poor. In addition to that we waited on every hole. what a pitiful golf course. Will not be back.
Terrible Conditions
Course is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen it, yet they are still charging $72 for a Saturday morning round. Greens are so bumpy you can’t even read a putt. Every fairway you hit, don’t expect a clean lie, expect spotty grass and sand. Rough is almost unplayable. It’s once thing to struggle to maintain the course, but to continue to charge that much for a round, ridiculous. Won’t be back anytime soon.
Sub Par
Came down for a golf vacation with friends. Course staff didn’t regulate the pace of play very well. They also allowed a group of six to play together…all with their own carts. Was also disappointed that there were no hole by hole images on the scorecard. I definitely would have made different club selections if I knew where the water and OB areas were located. Plenty of other courses in the area to choose from.
Bad Greens and Fairways
Greens need rebuilt!
Fairways need new topsoil
Don't play here it's in horrible condition
Good design - poor condition
Interesting design - good layout of holes - golf course condition was poor; greens had been aerated recently and too much sand and bare spots - a lot of weeds in the tee boxes.
