Hyde Park Golf Club

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.

The course is in great condition. I have played nearly every public course between Jacksonville and New Smyrna Beach this year and this course is as nice or better than most all of them. We really enjoyed playing here today.

Hyde always provides that challenging round for the only “Muni” in town. However, today the tee boxes were suboptimal! A good round is always predicated by a good drive or tee-shot to a par 3…

I’ve played here countless times since moving to the west side of JAX. The course is 5 minutes from my house and being a Donald Ross layout I used to love playing here a couple times a month. I’m an intermediate golfer so bad course conditions don’t bother me much... with that said I can honestly say that I’ve never played a course in worse conditions, and I’ve played Blue Sky. I’m not even saying it was in great condition when I first played it in 2019 but it was manageable. Now it’s basically a hayfield. Greens have always been bad, and the bunkers are now just filled all the way in. This is just the course. I recently had another disheartening experience in the pro shop and being such a great course layout with loads of potential I would think they’d want returning customers. I worked in the service industry for over 15 years and every time I walk into this shack of a clubhouse it always seems like they don’t want me there. They’re aloof and downright impolite. Save your money and drive an extra 15 minutes to Bent Creek, you’ll be happy you did.

I understand the pandemic has put a kink in a lot of club doings, but this has nothing to do with it.

I’ve played this course a bunch of times in the last 15 years. It’s amazing how they’ll decide to put 2 million dollars into a clubhouse but NEVER EVER work on the course. It is easily the worst greens in town for many years. It’s unbelievably bad. Yesterday was the last time I will ever play there. Even if it’s free, it’s that bad. They have a bunch of old guys running the place not knowing what they’re doing when it comes to course maintenance. Shame bc it could be good. It’ll take a complete greens rejuvenation to get me to go back out there.

Visiting from Canada family in Ponte Vedre a year ago & met/played with pro shop staff/Billy; he recommended Hyde Park; finally made it over after a year. Worth the drive from PV; the classic Ross (1925) is in great shape; every aspect enjoyable. Staff very accommodating; $26 green fee/cart can’t be beat.

For the Skynyrd fan, the Van Zant house is a few blocks away; Free Bird must fly over the course daily.

Will be back.

Nice wide open course but greens a little rough and patchy but rest of course seemed to be kept up nice.
