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.

Hidden Hills Outing
I found the staff to be very friendly and course to be in good condition.
love playing this course
I love playing this course mainly because here in Florida everything is typically flat. This course and Magnolia Pointe have some elevation for florida courses. The greens were in good condition and the tee boxes need a little work. It's winter so I can understand, I will be back if can get a deal on Golf Now.
Played with 2 golfers that had played the course before. Very helpful. Will come back for sure. Staff very friendly.
Fun course
Fun And challenging. Great sand and water placement. Nice greens. Friendly staff. Nice putting area and chipping zone. Will play again!
Excellent track
Always a great challenge playing hidden hills. The wind was fierce and made playing the course that more difficult. Greens rolled great and fairways were in good shape considering the winter conditions. Keep it up.
Don’t waste your money
I work in the golf industry, and I’ve played this course at least 5 times this past summer. Played it for the first time since November, and It’s awful. I’d rather have aids than putt on their greens, and they might have one half decent fairway. I played 6 holes and left after paying for 18 holes.
good track but conditions not so great.
first time playing here. Good layout. WIshed the fairways and roughs were a bit in better shape. All dead for the winter so horrible lies all over the place. the greens were in pretty good shape and rolled nicely. Tough approaches on some holes. I would definitely play it again.
Fun Course To Play.
Enjoyed the layout. Couple of patchy greens. Several tee boxes need work.
