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.

Brown Fairways
We were concerned the newly aired greens would be an issue, but the fairways are brown and sandy after no watering for months. Lakes are all down by many feet so an obvious watering ban must be in place. There is little bounce off the fairways now as the scorched grass has died leaving sand underneath. Tough course now and we put up some horrendous scores this round-that's our fault not the course but was blown away at how bad it has become and will be until Jax gets some regular rain.
Dry Fairway
The fairways green were not green. Most of them has little to no grass. They’re either dying or dead. The putting greens are still good.

Hidden Hills Golf Course!
Hidden Hills
The person in the pro shop was very helpful. Unfortunately, the course has not been watered. Dried out sandy fairways and no grass on tee boxes or fairway. Very poor condition and needs an overhaul.
Thank you for recognizing our helpful pro shop staff and for bringing the condition of the course to our attention. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working on significant improvements. We hope you give Hidden Hills Golf Club another chance soon.
Greens and fairways
Mist of the greens had just been cored and sanded. The whole course needed water.

Hello, tspackman. Thank you for visiting us at TOP PICK
Hidden Hills Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Sad to see course in this condition
It was sad to see the course in this condition. The lay out was great and the front nine amazing. It was hard to differentiate the fairways from the rough. Hopefully some rain will help bring the course back. Will try to play one more time.
We're sorry to hear the course wasn't in its best condition during your visit; your feedback is greatly appreciated. We're optimistic that with a bit of weather's help and our team's effort, your next visit will be a much more enjoyable experience. We hope you visit us for another round soon!
Poor condition due to lack of rain and NO PLAYER ASSISTANT FOR SLOW PLAY!
Fairways were very sparse and many shots were hardpan dirt in fairway.
No ranger / player assistant so a single 3-some had 4 groups stacked up!
Course is fun when in good shape.
We apologize for the condition of the fairways and the pace of play during your round; we're working on improvements. Thank you for your feedback and hope to show you a better experience at Hidden Hills Golf Club soon.
Good layout, awful conditions
Super dry fairways. Most greens are coming back but the tee boxes and fairways are still in bad shape.
We apologize for the condition of the fairways and are working diligently to improve them. Thank you for acknowledging the progress of our greens; feedback like yours is invaluable to us. We hope you give Hidden Hills Golf Club another try in the future.
Nice layout
2nd time playing here, love the layout with a few elevated tees. Wasn’t very busy, we did 18 in 4hrs. Some greens had some bad patches but others were very good. Overall I like this place and plan to return
Hello, u951474315. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at TOP PICK
Hidden Hills Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Needs work
Greens and tee boxes we beat up pretty good....fairways were dry and bare in many spots.....the starter was a pleasant man...inside pro shop staff could be a bit more welcoming.
We apologize for the condition of the greens, tee boxes, and fairways; we are actively working on improvements. Thank you for acknowledging our friendly starter, and we will address your feedback regarding our pro shop staff to ensure a more welcoming atmosphere.
Hidden Hills
Great course in Jacksonville. Very nice layout and several challenging holes. A bit slow pace of play, 4 1/2 hours on a Wednesday with a 11:15 am tee time.
Thank you for your kind words about the course layout and challenges. We apologize for the slow pace of play and are constantly working on improving the flow for a better experience. We hope to see you at Hidden Hills Golf Club for another round soon!
