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

Tough time
We decided to play a 4th round of the week while on vacation and chose here since we played here last year.
The employee in the pro shop was not pleasant but took our money. The course condition was fair. It wasn't great but not bad.
We had three foursomes in front of us (some members). They played as if nobody was behind them. It took almost 2.5 hours to play nine holes and we stopped at that point.
The GM saw me and spoke when we were leaving and was respectful and wanted to give us rain checks. Unfortunately, we don't know if we'll be back.

Fun track
Hidden Hills has some interesting holes that require precision. It's a course I usually enjoy playing, but on Saturday it was pretty crowded and unfortunately it was a slow round.

Tough front nine, better back nine
Love the course . However the last three times I've I played the Bermuda rough was so high and deep you couldn't find the ball (lost three). Other golfers had the same complaint and it has slowed play to much. Otherwise, I love how well it is maintained.

Pace of play too slow
Took 3 hours for a twosome to play 12 holes. Quit shortly after. Too many extremely old people who don’t understand how to let quicker groups play thru. This has happened on multiple occasions out here. For the amount of rain the area has received recently the greens are in pretty poor shape. Won’t be back out here for a long time if ever.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are sorry to see you rated the course conditions poorly during your round We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Hidden Hills Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Great Layout Needs Conditioning
This is one of my favorite tracks in Jacksonville.This was the first time I played the course in about 4 months. I have to admit I was terribly disappointed in the conditions I encountered. I understand the greens were aerated about 2 weeks ago. However the greens were unputtable from the punch holes and sand dressing and I'm disappointed Golf Now did not provide an "aeration alert" like they usually do. The rough wasn't being maintained. It's simply too long. One of the players in my group lost 2 balls that he hit just 10 yards off the fairway. Having said all that I will be back. The Arnold Palmer designed layout is still outstanding.
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave us your feedback. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced when booking your tee time. Our goal is to provide our golfers with all relevant information when booking their round online. We apologize if we missed the mark. We hope to hear from you soon. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.
This was a beautiful course
Course was well maintained and top notch - attendant in the Pro Shop at the beginning of the day acted like we were bothering him when trying to purchase drinks . Once we made the turn, the new attendant was much more helpful and cordial. Overall, I will play there again.
Thanks so much for the great review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Hidden Hills Golf Course.
