Hyde Park Golf Club

About
Hyde Park Golf Club, built in 1925 by Donald Ross, is one of the oldest in Florida. In 1971, the golf course was purchased by former touring professionals Billy Maxwell and Chris Blocker, who have successfully restored it.
Rolling hills, gorgeous Spanish Oaks and towering Southern Pines make Hyde Park a lasting experience. A tour stop for the men's and women's professional golf tours in the 1940s and 1950s, the golf course gained a place in history during the 1947 Jacksonville Open. The great Ben Hogan took an 11 on the par-3 sixth, which became known as "Hogan's Alley." It has a deep-faced bunker to the right and water to the left.
Hyde Park Golf Club measures 6,468 yards from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 71, and it has a slope rating of 124.

Mr. Donald Ross wouldn’t be pleased!
100 year old Donald Ross layout, that’s the great news. The fairways & rough are 85% weeds. The greens are very thin & rough. The clubhouse is closed & the “pro shop” is a shed. Golf carts were nice.
Awesome Improvements
Had not played Hyde Park in 4 months and I was impressed with their progress. Positive change and improvement . I’ve always enjoyed the layout since first time playing it in 80’s.
Been playing here for over 40 years and this is best I've seen it!
This course has had a rejuvenation and is definitely on the right track. Can't wait to see the new clubhouse opening. It's a great layout, a good test of golf and playable for everyone. Plenty of grass in the fairways. The greens are bit slower than some courses but are rolling nicely and holding shots. If you haven't played here in a while give it a shot.
Great fun
We've had tons of rain lately but course drainage is very good. Some holes were understandably car path only, even on thes holes we never had to take relief from casual water.
Relaxing Round
Playing on Sunday seemed packed at first and was wondering if the pace of play was going to be an issue. It was steady. A layout thats good for the ego especially if you are one that's trying to recovering from a bad previous round. I wish they at least had a beverage cart to come around. Buy they have come a long way.
Tee time was canceled
The course was closed due to bad weather. I should not be charged.
Good course on way to being great
Played here many times and it’s as good as it’s ever been. Some improvements being made right now but all bearable because you can see what this course will become. Whoever is growing the grass knows what they are doing because I have seen this course look pretty rough in the past. Greens were very good and the fairways have come a long way. The owner is looking to bring this 100 year old trek back to its glory days and by all appearances he will succeed. Will be playing again very soon!
Great value and conditions
Have played here a few times over the years and was mostly a golf course in despair. Played yesterday and nearly all green, fairways, and most tee boxes were in great shape.
No clubhouse as it’s under repair, no cart service, snacks and drinks at golf office near first hole. Minor downside of the course are the roads needing a lot of work between holes but even the bridges and some walkways have had work done.
Great value for the money!! Can’t wait to see the end results next year.
Price is getting ridiculous
I have played this course hundred's of times. It is a stable of Jacksonville golf. The downside to this course is the fact that they act like its the west-side Augusta National. They have been working on it for years now with what seems like an attempted drag along. I book a tee time with the two person slot intentionally, and still have to be paired with another twosome. They have taken away the chipping ability on the practice putting greens. And I don't think they will ever finish the club-house. With all that said the most annoying thing is they keep raising the price of the course. They are at fifty dollars-a-round in the morning. This course, as cool as it still is, has never been worth fifty dollars-a-round. Thirty-five at best. How can you charge that kind of money and not even get a hot-dog??
Great Value
Play now before rates go up. Nice layout, with fun holes. New clubhouse being built and Hyde Parke will be a very nice course when completed. Excellent putting green. Definitely worth playing if you are in the Jacksonville area.
Not bad for 100 years old
Yes, the "pro shop" is a small trailer in the grass because the clubhouse is still under construction. No, it isn't fancy. But it is a classic self-contained course with some fun holes, especially 14-18, with fun doglegs, tricky elevated greens that are in pretty decent shape, though a little on the slow side (it's the dead of summer, hard to keep them alive and fast). Overall conditions I'd give a B. Far from the worst option in town, not up to A tier but good for the price.
Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort Stay & Play Package

I couldn’t disagree more! You will not find a better value in the Metroplex. A $50 round is unheard of, especially on weekends, greens are in great shape and the rest of the course is filling in nicely. Great job Superintendent and looking forward to seeing the finished product!
