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.

Maybe, but need more time
Played here 8/14/22. First thing first. Re-doing #5 green because it was so hard to putt before. So that will be good when it opens.
The course conditions compared to others in the area is just not good. Thin fairways, many bald spots in the rough. Greens are fairly decent only spotty patches of weeds here and there.
Got a reasonable price through GolfNow. It was about what the course is worth value wise.
It's a great layout, tight. Accuracy is important. Once the conditions improve and #5 opens, I could recommend it.

Good challenging golf course with excellent staff!
Tournament play ahead of our tee time made this the longest round of golf I have played in over 4 years. Fairly unpleasant day in 100 degree heat. Normally reasonable pace but this one was not good or normal.

Temp Greens
Wish when booking via golf now it let u know they had temp greens. I guess i should have looked at the reviews. Plus the starters always suck here

Not the best
Made me buy a collard shirt right off. Not that I was wearing a tee shirt, had a nice athletic shirt on never had any problem at any other coarse. Seemed every hole we played had mowers and groundsmen. They never showed us any courtesy just kept mowing, even around the greens as we were trying to make our approach. Just wasn’t that happy with our outing
