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.

Dump
The greens were brown with crab grass growing. The fairways were not cut correctly. The pace of play was a six hour round. There was no ranger to speed up play. I don't recommend anyone dpend $70 to play this course.
Thin greens
The greens were very thin and sparse in some areas they're getting some weird overgrowth or invasive grass other than that the course was in pretty decent condition pace of play was good

Felt like hime
Being from Pittsburgh, it was a pleasure to have elevated greens, beautiful scenery of greens and course layout.
Hello, brijwill. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Hidden Hills Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Great layout but bad condition
Sad to see this place in such bad conditions, stays busy but seems they dont put money into the course. Most of the tee boxes are just dirt no grass and not even level. Greens are horrible as well. Sad to see this place go down

Another Arnie Disappointment
I really wanted to like this course, but found it to be a typical Arnie design, and impossible for the average golfer - junk on both sides of fairway when teeing off (no place to miss), forced carries, many over water all the way to green, and stupid greens. Add in a 5+ hours round and I couldn't wait to leave, and wont be back. Plenty of other courses in the Jax area that offer a better experience for around the same price.

worst course in Jacksonville
The course was in terrible shape. The greens were briwn with crab grass growing throughout. The pace of play was the worst I ever experienced. Six hours for afternoon round of golf.
The cost is overpriced for the quality of the ciurse

Very interesting
This course is not normal. And it might be much better in the summer.
It is a very hard layout - which is fine but the conditions were poor.
The history of the course sort of defines it. It was a tour stop and you can tell. A long par 5 into the wind with a small island green - yeah that's a 7 for double digit handicappers.
It was winter but the conditions were all over the place.
It's too hard to be a 'regular weekend course' but not nice enough to be a 'destination play'
I'm attempting to be critical but fair. The practice areas are GREAT. Would def. play again.

Perfect Day at Hidden Hills
I had a fun and great round at Hidden Hills today. The weather was perfect in the mid 60's and a few clouds - it doesn't get much better than this.
Thank you to all the staff at Hidden Hills for making my day so special.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Photog57. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hidden Hills Golf Course thanks you!
Tough first 9 holes
First 9 holes really tough with lot's of water. Fairways and greens were fine, some of the tee-offs were really awful however

Poor condition
Tee box has little grass, green poor condition. Although the lay out is nice, with water in several holes, poor green condition makes it less enjoyable! Not recommending to any good players
