Hidden Hills Golf Course

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.

Good course, good value.
First time playing, very impressed. very nice layout, challenging course. Good value. Some greens could use a little care, fairways good and tee boxes are good.
Horrible
I can’t believe I paid $80 for a round with chopped up greens and one temporary green (they did have a sign in the clubhouse about that). The teeboxes were horrible too. No grass and just dirt and sand. They should be ashamed of themselves
Avoid at any cost
Horrible. Tee boxes and greens suck. Paid $80 and not worth $30. One temporary green that was posted.
Owners need to spend some money
Greens need serious attention! Have a good time golfing as long as you don’t want to putt.
Awful Awful Awful
Don’t waste your time or money at this place. It’s completely destroyed and they need to completely revamp the entire course holes 1-18. A round at this course should cost $5 maximum until things get better.
What a change
We played this course 2 years ago and it was in great shape and the rates were reasonable for the conditions. This year the course looked like a cow pasture. The greens were lumpy, bare and sandy. The fairways and rough had many bare patches. No way worth $80. We will not be back.
Waste of money
Course is in terrible shape. It's not worth your time
Greens are trash and need a lot of work
Fairways have bare dirt in a lot of places.
Getting better
Haven't played Hidden Hills in several months. It is getting better but still not where it should be. You can see they are trying to get it back in shape. Good value on hot deals.
Good course
All these rains we have has improved the course condition. Greens need a little work but better. Just need to keep working on those greens
Greens need work
the only complaint is the Green and some of the tee boxes... but for the money we paid it was ok.. you get what you pay for.. still had a great time
Greens are in bad shape
To charge full price for those greens is ridiculous. Temporary green on 6. I will not be back anytime soon
After work 18
Haven't played Hidden Hills in over a yea,r, played solo. Pro shop let me play 20 minutes early due to impending storm , didn't materialize. So round was no rain and had a three golfers a head of me. The coures was in good condition , remember it's narrow in many areas so becareful of your shot off the tee. Because of the houses are close around the whole coures. Enjoy and be patient around the golf course
Hidden Hills
Uninspired layout, tees range from Ok to bad, fairways are the best feature, tees ranged from ok to bad.
Needs a lot of work
Course is in absolutely terrible condition. Greens are basically sand traps. I would not recommend this until there is some change.
