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.

Course just in fair shape
Fun course layout. Good pace of play on a not busy Tuesday. Course shape could’ve been better and has been previous times playing here.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, u710885709. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Hidden Hills Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Needs significant maintenance
It was clear that the course was recently scarified, which is to be expected in the spring, but there are numerous large patches of diseased and dead turf on the greens, and most tee boxes are torn to shreds.
Our tee time was triple booked so the entire round was a traffic jam and pace of play was completely thrown out the window.
I’ve played this course when conditions are better and normally would highly recommend this course for anyone who likes a challenging layout, but this was far from previous experiences. For the price I paid I felt this was a terrible value, especially considering the amount of high quality courses in the area.

the greens were cut 2 to 3 months ago and it appears nothing was done with them since. very unfair to putt on greens with tracks .Hard to read greens.
Cheaper than others
The course is cheaper than others, and it doesn’t take long to figure out why. Fairways? Don’t exist. Greens? Never in good shape. Tee boxes? Nope. It’s all bad. Simply bad which is sad because it could great. Won’t be back

Hidden Hills needs maintenance
Fairways are in terrible shape. No grass in most places. Greens have not been done in years.
Hello, svillademoros. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Hidden Hills Golf Course.
No GPS on carts and over priced for this course. Greens are a mess and fairways were not groomed. May be the worse greens I have seen in Jaxs.

Hidden Hills 👎
I have never had an enjoyable round at this course. Tee Boxes are all uneven and messy. No grass in the fairways it’s just hard dirt and sand. Greens are super fast and patchey. This place sucks. Plenty of other better options in the Jacksonville area
Nice Layout - Conditions as Expected for Winter
Greens appeared to be recently variegated but not too bad and subsequently not real fast. Fairways were as expected for winter play and required LCP. We were a twosome playing behind foursomes, but still finished at 4+20.. Practice range was not mats, but tee area needed to be adjusted forward or back.
