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 is a Hidden Gem!!
This was my first time playing Hidden Hills and was very pleased. It is the middle of July so the greens were a little rough. The fairways, tee boxes and rough were in great shape. No negative things about my round at Hidden Hills. I wish I would of hit the ball a little better!! Look forward to playing again on my next trip to the JAX area.

Greens are in rough shape
There is a bunch of disease on most of the greens. There is also quite a bit of exposed dirt areas. It’s just in rough shape. I’ve played it in much better shape.

Greens need help
Greens are absolutely horrible, so sad to see this course go downhill like this. Slow play may have been worse, took us 3 hours to play 9 holes, left after due to slow play. All this for a great value of 75 dollars. Hope they get it back to the way it once was

Great course
Love this course! Only issue is right now the greens are awful. Especially on the front nine. Looks like the large amount of rain we’ve had lately drowned them. They were perfect when I last played three weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back soon. Can’t wait to play here again.
Hello, u9057456. Thank you for visiting us at Hidden Hills Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Friendly Welcoming Staff
I had a great round on a very warm day. From the golf shop to the snack cart everyone was so nice. The course was challenging and fun and in great shape overall for mid summer in NE Florida. A couple of fairways were cart path only but it didn’t take away from the experience. Highly recommend!

Course is not in good condition
The greens are getting better but still not that good. The course has a great layout but not that good of fairway grass.

Wonderful layout and routing. Poor conditions.
The course needs at least $2-3m put into it to bring it back to the Palmer gem it used to be. Greens had just been punched, so I’ll give a pass on that. But the fairways were bad, the bunkers and rough largely unmanicured and thin, with way too many bare spots. The cart paths are in disrepair, and the chances of getting a decent lie anywhere on the golf course are not good. We finally started playing lift, clean and place throughout the course.
This course still has great potential…but needs serious dollars spent to bring it back to its glory years.
Greens were the worst
I didn't take pics but from now on I will take pics of a pro and a con if I can find one.
