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.

Don’t play on Wednesday!!!
This course does not know how to manage it’s tee times on Wednesday afternoon on hole number six we had Five groups on the same hole three in the Teebox alone. I found out later they put a group out that may be two foursomes or it could be as many as five foursomes and they make no allocation for that very disappointed.

Fun Course With a Challenging Layout
This is a great course, the conditions are fantastic, some areas need improvement to become a 5 star course in my eyes. For the money the practice areas and the course itself is a great value. Their are hills and trees along with water on almost every hole. It is fun to play and a little challenging, but in a good way. From the back tees it plays around 6,800 and from the front it plays 5,200 so it’s perfect for everyone. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. The pace of play was a little slow, but I did play on a weekend so, can’t really complain. Overall a great public course to play in Jacksonville.

Overpriced.. groups of 5 were playing the day we were there!!
When green fees begin to approach $50.00, they are getting beyond my willingness to play… Hidden Hills is is a good course, but not the caliber of a course of fees in the 30s.

It is our goal to give visitors the best chance to get out and play more. Thank you for playing Hidden Hills Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
