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.

Lots of placement shots because of water on front while the back is more open. We knew about the par 3 situation before we played. When the rebuilt par 3 is back in play it will be a pretty special hole.
Poor value due to joke repair
Should not be charging regular rates while the #6 par 3 is under repair. Not a good value.
It would be better to just eliminate that joke since it also affects the #7 par 5, resulting in 3 par threes in a row.
This also should b revealed on Golf Now to warn players of the situation
Hi, u314162302991. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We understand your frustration with the construction projects underway. Please bear with us as we work diligently to make improvements. We hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Great Course In Need Of Attention
No doubt this could be one of the best golf courses in the region including all the big name venues. That is of course if it received a third of the attention those big name venues receive. The greens seem to be just hanging on and the fairways were only slightly better. With the amount of rain this area has received you would expect the course to be significantly more plush. It would appear they are making an effort, but there is still a great deal of work to do.

Course needs work
Greens are slowly recovering from aeration. Grass in fairways need lots of work and water. The price was very fair. Everyone there is very pleasant. The reconstruction of the 5th hole seems to be progressing nicely.

Potential
Tee boxes, bunkers, greens, and fairways all need some TLC. With the correct attention and time this course could be so great. Layout is a lot of fun and shot selection varies. Just needs some love poured into the track
