Hyde Park Golf Club

I played Hyde Park golf course many times. The course is improving every time I played since 3 years ago. Can’t wait when the new club house is done. Hope the cart path can be fixed soon too. This is a course I always play when my home course is not available.

Greens overall pretty good - very few bare spots, though there was some inconsistency in speed from one green to another. Tees and fairways and rough were spotty - some areas good, some not, but we're in a long drought, so understandable. Three very bad pin locations cut on false fronts that were impossible - train the green people better. Clear violations of USGA recommendations.

The course has a lot of trees and bushes removed, course seems wide open the front 9 and narrowing on the back, so need to control your shots more, everyone in my group stop using drivers for better accuracy. Still your choice and enjoyable.

I got grouped up with 3 other strangers and had an enjoyable day of golf. The weather was brutal but the pace of play was great. The course is compact so if you have a bad slice or hook you run the risk of hitting other golfers. But overall the course was fun and look forward to playing again

Recent course improvements to the 1st and 10th cart paths and a few tee boxes are a welcome site. Ongoing construction to a new club house has significant improvements yet still slow overall to the last few years progress. The cleanliness of the fairways and approaches to the greens are noticeable for an “older” golf course. Several of the asphalt cart parts are in desperate need of resurfacing or total replacement. A pleasant afternoon notwithstanding.

Staff is unfriendly; the pace of play was extremely slow. Ranger just drives around to talk, not to help pace. I played with my wife. We got paired with another twosome by the starter. We bring our son with us, who has cp and uses a wheelchair for primary transport. He does not walk and can’t stand on his own. This was a big issue for them, and they made it very difficult for us from the attitude to making us get and pay for another cart, which slowed pace down even more because he waited until we teed off to tell us we had to get another cart. We have played multiple courses in the Jacksonville area and central Florida area and never had an issue with having to get another cart. And two, the attitude and way they went about it. The lady said there are no kids allowed. I’ve never heard this from a public course with poor course conditions and pace of play, especially when he just sits in the cart, eats his snacks, and occasionally says, “Good shot,” and plays caddy. I will definitely never play this course again and stick to the courses I play with friendly staff and don’t have an issue with my son riding with us.

This old course is getting the attention it needs to become a premier course. Very challenging holes even without a lot of sand traps. For long drivers a couple of holes can lead into water, so strategic play is required. Many greens are on the small side and it has one of the longest Par 3's in the areas at 220 yds from the white tee's. Fun course to challenge yourself.

Weekends are usually busy at any nice course. I would recommend getting a couple of more rangers out on the course to speed up the pace. There were two kids out playing this past Sunday and they were both hitting two balls each time they were up as if they were a foursome. I usually don’t complain but a round of golf should t have taken as long as it did. Other than that the course was great. The staff is very friendly and accommodating!

Overall very good but need to improve the sandy tees. Looks like greens and fairways should improve with Spring/Summer weather upon us.

I wrote this course of a few years ago, took a chance and booked it!! Was super surprised at all of the upgrades to the course and around the clubhouse. Great to see that there still more improvements to come. 👍👍👍👍

Old rustic course. Some tee boxes need work. Some greens had bare spots. Pace of play was appropriate. I was approached by the general manager while I was warming up on the range for using some of my own balls to warm up. The last time I was there they didn’t have range balls available. He had a point to make and made it. I found his attitude off putting. Not how I would ever speak to a customer.

Layout is challenging, course in very good condition, greens rolled true and VERY FAST, they could have been slowed up a little to make play more enjoyable.

I would normally say a bad day golfing is better than a good day at work. Not the case here. This is a pretty tough course but the conditions make it absolutely unbearable. Anyone giving positive reviews is an employee or paid. No way anyone rates this higher than 3 stars. The facilities are all demolished, and check in is a trailer. I got lost 3 or 4 times bc the course is an absolute mess with no direction. I paid 25.00 with a GolfNow deal and it wasn’t worth that. I should have just went to work. Do not waste your time!

Our home course, Brightwood Golf and Country Club, in Dartmouth, NS, Canada is a Do and Ross designed course and the greens are just as difficult and speedy at Hyde Park. It was a really nice day, everyone was very kind. Nice and open fairways with tough approach shots made for some fun and challenging golf.
