Hyde Park Golf Club

About
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.

Great value
Great value course. Hard to beat for the money. Course is in pretty good shape and it’s a fun track to play. They are putting the money and work into this place so it just keeps getting better
Good and getting better
I'd say 4.5 out of 5. Course in very good conditions overall, and getting better. New practice putting surface is one of the best in Jax. Clubhouse progressing.
Great time
Course is in great shape. Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Price is great also.
Great place - excited to play again.
First things first. Massive amounts of work being done, which is great to see. The course is in good condition and even though the greens had been punched in the last week or two, greens were good, just slow. Can’t wait to play again in a couple of weeks. Great track and the staff is supper friendly. Can’t wait to play it again.
Course shaping up.
Greens were decent but a tad slow. You probably couldn’t get them much faster due to the extreme slope some had. However it could use a little rolling to smooth them out. Layout decent. Fairways were ok. Needs a little weed kill in the rough though. Lots of crabgrass in rough. But all in all I’d be back to play again. Pace was great. Played in 3hr 45 min.
For the Beginner
If you need a course that will allow you to have some fun without difficult conditions, Hyde Park may be for you.
Nice surroundings and nature abounds around every corner. Greens are very slow making for an easy round. I was four under after four holes. Completed the round under par. History does abound here. Enjoy yourself. Play soft golf balls, you will be happy you did.
Slow play
I’ve played Hyde park 3 times in the last 5 weeks and have not been able to finish a full 18 holes as yet due to extremely slow play of 5.5 to 6 hour rounds. This is not a good valve for my money.. The staff are rude and they, along with all the first time beginner players do not know the first rule of golf which is let faster players play through. I’m not returning to Hyde park until I hear pace of play has improved and staff are friendlier.
Best bang for the buck
The course is in great condition the best bang for the buck
Suitable for party golf
Course layout was fun but conditions rough. Fairways spotty at best and greens really slow. Practice facility abysmal with lady in the semi-amateur shop wouldn’t let me buy two bags of balls to warm up for two golfers. Then gave me a hard time about my 12 year old (plays tournament golf and played varsity HS in 6th grade) playing saying he has to be 12 to play after already being told he was 12 as if I was lying about his age. This course is doing its best to shrink the game and really off putting to junior golfers. Starter was awesome but would not return if back in the area.
