About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6468 yards
Slope 123
Rating 70.4

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 70.4, and it has a slope rating of 123.

Better than expected

They have really had problems in the past. I was impressed with the condition of the greens particularly. They were in pretty food condition. I still don't think its a $43 course though.

Great Classic course

This course has a good layout, fun holes, and well-maintained for the most part.

Basically all putting surfaces are smooth.

Maybe a little pricey and at times congested, but an overall good experience for golf!

Nice Ross course - staff eh

Been playing here 5 years, seen staff come and go. Current staff needs some basic hospitality instruction.

- they hate HotDeals and I was informed I was getting off $5 cheaper. So stop offering them !

- I teed off 20 min earlier than the 2:45 deal - so ?

It’s not like I showed up for a prime 9am slot - it was 2:25 and no one waiting !

Sad because when I started golfing here they were basically begging for golfers. Course was a mess…

Nice gratitude

Very Open

Course was not in the best condition. Fairways had many rough spots and bald areas. Clubhouse is being rebuilt so not much to do at the course. Greens are recovering from being aerated I believe lots of sand on the greens. Overall for the price it was an ok course. Not much to it.

Nostalgic Course w Character

Good job by groundscrew and maintenance for keeping the course green this summer. Slower greens compared but that’s not why you play here. Love the old school feel on this Donald Ross design. A must play

Ok

Ranger Rick was a pain, we had a 4 group and a 2 group and were suppose to guess where the cart cut off. We play ready golf so no slow downs and wait for group ahead. Ranger was nice enough but actually slowed the play by lengthy conversations. He threatened us because there is a 4’ piece of wood 10’ or so away from a cart path and we were suppose to know that that was not to be used. Most asphalt paths on the rest of course were in rough shape.

Anyway just not a great experience when could have spent $250 at a different course

Solid track

Great layout and in decent shape. Greens are rolling a little slow, but they’re in pretty good condition (a couple of greens are a work in progress). It’s great to see improvement from last year. Pace of play was good on a Saturday morning.

Short course, fun layout

It's apparent they are working to improve the condition of the course. Not bad at all as is for the price though. All around decent shape with some challenging pin placements. Maybe it was just the day, but seemed to be full of beginners which made for slow, but entertaining play.

Staff are not friendly

We were a group of 4 and 3 of which are relatively new to golf. We knew our pace of play was slower so if we finished a hole and the next group was catching up, we’d let them pass. The ranger totally ignored that the groups that were originally behind us ended up in front of us and the ranger came up to us on two occasions telling us to play faster and that we are 30 minutes behind (because we let 3 groups play ahead this was inaccurate) so this did nothing but infuriate us. We understood we were slower so let others play ahead, the other players were grateful yet the ranger made the situation worse.
