Hyde Park Golf Club

Well kept greens and fairways. Clubhouse been out of commission for quite some time know though.

As we venture around Jacksonvilles courses this one caught our eye given it was designed in 1925 and has been host to a few championships back in the day

The clubhouse is sadly been totally renovated so the portacabin set up was not a great first impression but the course was fairly easy, fairly straight but tees, greens and cart paths do need some renovation also

Not sure why Ben Hogan would take a 11 on the par 3 back in the JaX open , 1947 but that nostalgia does mean you have some good takeaways from the course. Course was pretty empty but also slow but it was a cloudy afternoon and we were playing better than usual

Will we be back-it’s quite a drive out there and there are better options for the price considering the condition of the course

Very well maintained. Greens, fairways and bunkers well managed. Clubhouse closed for renovations.

We continue our weekly challenge of a new course and this week found is at a very straight Hyde Park Course

Club house is presently a cabin due to a facelift , greens and tee boxes weren’t great and cart paths were full of potholes. Not a busy time but pretty enjoyable if not really exciting. Holes are pretty simple in design, not a lot of hazards and totally flat.the history of the course is what makes it and scoring far lower than a Ben Hogan 11 on the par 3 5th? Was the highlight. Having two giant telephone poles go through the course is a unique touch and while we enjoyed this , it wasn’t inspiring . Quite a drive out from the beaches and glad we experienced it but unlikely to go back

Value for money -yes due to the low green fee but the condition of the course is pretty poor

Been playing Hyde Park for 40 years. The tree work, the filling in of some bunkers, the cart path work, actually having a cut-line in between the fairway and rough are all very admirable. But, until you fix the greens, you are a 2-Star course. I can over look everything from the abomination of a clubhouse that should be raised, to no beverage cart or snack shop, to the ranger who is harassing you every other hole, even though you are waiting on the five-some ahead of you, But if I cannot roll a putt, I don't want to play your course, it is simply no fun to not be able to putt. Everything else can be dealt with, bad green cannot. This course is for beginners, not for good players that want to play the ball down and shoot a number.

They do nothing about slow play or people playing music while playing. They have a gps cart system that leaves you stranded and there is no rhyme nor reason to were they don't want the carts to go and the restricted areas are not roped off. Most of the tee boxes are dirt. The course has gone downhill while they 'beautify the course by removing trees. The 'clubhouse' has been under repair for 5 years and all they offer is a tent with bench tables and a food truck. This is not a golfer friendly course

If you like putting on concrete then this course is for you

I've played Hyde Park for 7 years and yesterday was the best condition I've ever seen it in. I won't say there are no areas on the course that still need some work but the greens and fairways have shown some significant improvement. Not sure if it was all that rain we had two weeks ago but the turf was in good shape. It's not in perfect condition but you can tell a lot of work has gone into revitalizing this course. Go play this gem of a golden age course.

Course was in pretty good shape. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that there was not a cart girl. We played early 7:15am but by tine 11am came around and we were finishing up we would have like to get some refreshments. 95 degrees by 10:30 and the ice we had in or drinks had long evaporated.

Handle that and you can’t beat the course for the price.

Doing a lot of work on the course

Was a little wet. Cart path only

But a terrific layout with some very tough greens

I will try to go back in the fall to see if the course conditions improve

If you are a golf history buff, this is a must play

I didn't even finish the first hole. Rained all day.

For a course that boasts such a rich history in Florida golf, this course is a decent value and a true walk back in time. The course condition is mostly below average, with spotty fairways and uneven tee boxes; however, the greens rolled consistent and were in fair condition. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The best part about this place is the layout, it is a challenging track that tests all facets of a players game. Overall, it was a good experience, hopefully the course conditions continue to improve and get the course back to its former glory.

Clubhouse closed due to complete renovations. Fairways were nice however the greens need improvement. The Geo-sensing needs to be adjusted as at times the cart was 30+ yards away from a green and would shut down the cart. Other areas off the fairway also require attention as the cart was only feet off the cart path and got shut down. This is a "you pay for what you get course" Great for beginners or low budget golfers. Look forward t the club house getting finished.

Course is being worked on, front nine needs improvement, back nine in good condition. Club house being renovated. When all work is finished it will be the course to play.

It was better before they started revamping the course. T-boxes need work. Bald spots on The fairway. Cart pass terrible. Generally messed up. One project at a time guys. We should have taken pictures of all the destruction.

Hyde Park is a great course to get a quick round in. Always cool to play a course that is a part of PGA history. Front 9 is very Florida like, and the back 9 reminds me of courses in North Carolina, which is a nice switch up. Definitely making Hyde Park my home course.

Green Boxes are torn up, fairways are very thin, greens are terrible with no grass. Play is slow. They are trying to bring it back but it is taking too long and the course conditions are terrible.
