Rating 71.0

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.

Good experience

A Saturday morning tee time is always touch and go with pace of play but it was well regulated and the round was finished in under 3.5 hours. The staff was friendly and the course while busy moved along at a good pace. A couple greens had small dry patches but the pins were placed away from any area like that and the rest of the greens were in nice shape. The layout at Hyde Park is fun with wide fairways or adjacent ones for errant shots to collect. Everyone in our group shot in the mid 80s or better with multiple birdies and an eagle on the gettable par5 14th. I recommend this course for the value and the experience. Go play it!

Clueless Members Ruin a good course

Interesting layout, winter bare fairways, great greens and an obnoxious membership. We were a twosome with cart, behind a walking foursome of members. The front nine was fair at 2 hours, course was full. On the back nine, two groups in front of walkers quit. Regardless, they made our twosome wait on every shot, often at the tee together. No one in front of them. Ruined what could have been a fun day on an old course. Stay away from this asylum, the local players lack of etiquette doesn't overcome value of course

I've played the old course many many times over the years and there is always a chance to get behind a slow group. Several signs on the course say to let faster groups play through and if you have trouble with that, just skip a hole and drive right by. The course is in good condition, but the greens have been better. Great value and awesome design that allows amateurs to score well. I will be there again tomorrow and many more times to come.

Donald Ross Design

Hyde Park is an old style course, designed by Donald Ross in the almost 100 years ago. The course is cut through old pines and oaks. The winter rye is lush on the greens. They role pretty true but don't forget to get the ball to the hole. The fairways are very tight, but it is February. A cold front was pushing through the day that I played. While the sun was out and the temperatures were well into the 70's, the wind was changing and blowing at over 20mph steadily. Overall a great value for the money, and always a fun golf course to play.

Pretty good greens

First time playing here as home base is as private club. It's certainly an OK municipal course and good value for the cost. The fairways are hard (winter) and not a lot of grass under the ball. Bunkers generally well maintained and greens fair to good.

We were happy with the test - conditions different than our usual and a good way to shine up some rusty skills.

a classic

Hyde Park is a great layout. it gives you a little of everything. some go for it par 5s. some short birdie holes. some risk reward and some layups off the tee. you have to think on this track not just rip it. for a public course its in good shape. lined with old oaks and hanging spanish moss its easy on the eyes and the wallet. what more could you ask for? ive played it many times and will always come back.

Challenging History with Every Shot

Ninety years old and still kicking. You would never guess the course is this old based on the shape it's in. A must play if for no other reason than to say you have.

Good'ol Hyde Park :)

Over-seeding on Greens / Tees settled in pretty good.. Greens still a little slow but roll pretty True / Consistent.. Fairways could use some more cushioning though.. little thin / lots'a tight lies.. Been playing here for Decades & Hyde Park always good for a casual / impromptu round.. Tee-Times generally Not Required , just show up, Start when ready / get in line (if any)...

This Couse gives you great Bing for your buck!

The staff was friendly and helpful. Traffic was backed up. It was the day after Christmas. The course was well kept. Some holes were quite challenging but, they also included a way out for the novice , who was not up to the challenge.

I highly recommend this course. The course was par for the cost.

generally a well kept course

The greens were quite fuzzy due to over seeding and not having been cut for quite sometime. Almost impossible to putt.

Slow greens

Beautiful course, great day with friends, had my lowest score ever, that means " I'll be back". Greens could be cut closer so they would be faster but surprisingly all in good shape.

Great value

Excellent value for your money with the old course charm. This is a must for someone who likes old fashion golf at its best.The staff is friendly and knowledgable.
The course presents a challenge on each hole.
This is where Sam Snead and his group played while they were on tour.
