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.

Going down hill fast
Used to be a favorite of ours, now if your two feet off the fairway good luck finding your ball in debri and rough. Traps haven’t been touched in years.
New owner clearly does not care. Won’t be back even at the golf now rate.

Great experience would return
Great experience overall. Staff was helpful and welcoming. The course is a great layout through a neighborhood. In good shape other than the greens being a little rough due to seasonal maintenance and a few tee boxes were suffering from heavy play. Neither were significant detractors, I would play here again.

Like the course
The course is undergoing heavy airating and is not to good for play. It will take a couple of weeks to bring it back to it's good form. Looking forward it being ready to play again.

Palmer group design
Golf course was well designed and challenging. Greens needed a little sand to fill in but were fast and true. Tee boxes needed flatten surface work. Fairways and tee boxes need more grass. Course was not far off from being a better value at $70 on weeekend.
Hi, kippl! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Hidden Hills Golf Course!
Decent Course for the Price
Course layout is still really cool with several elevated tees and elevation changes. Pace of play was slow - nobody was behind our group so we played a par 5 twice and still had to wait on the next hole.
