Hyde Park Golf Club

Greens were very inconsistant and several bunkers were like concrete. The fairways were not in very good shape. it was like hitting off hardpan most of the day. It was Saturday, 80 degrees and no beverage attendant, starter, or anyone monitoring the pace of play. We had to tee off on the back nine because the first tee was backed up over an hour behind schedule

Hyde Park is a fairly used Municiple course. The greens were in great shape. The Course has its fair share of challenges. However it is good for the beginning golfer. You can bump and run to most greens.

enjoyed playing the course. liked the layout and played with nice people. greens were in good shape, but the fairways need a little attention.

It has been dry recently and this course is only watered on greens and tees, so there was a lot of run and hard fairway lies. 4 greens had some bad growth/large weed areas and the greens were not at all even in speed or consistency. Having said that it is a nice old course that was enjoyable. Starter put me with some fun guys and we all had a good time. Good place to work on your game but there are better courses in the area that are about the same price. I got this hot deal from Golf Now that I couldn't pass up and would definitely play this course again for that price.

The course was in good condition, and the pace of play was good. The staff was very accomodating.

It was cold windy day when I played so the course was not crowded. I loved the layout and the history of the course. It made playing it fun. Course was maintained in good condition, a little rough around the edges, but a great value. I would love to see it returned to it's glory days. I will add this course to my rotation.

Hyde Park is a classic Donald Ross design that any true golf fan in the area must play at least once for the sense of history. It is a beautiful piece of land, with some rare rolling terrain, stately oaks, few palm trees - it feels almost nothing like Florida. The back nine especially has a great collection of holes featuring elevation changes. The tees are in decent shape. The fairways are brown and there is no seperation between "fairway" and "rough" - if you can hit your ball and aren't behind a tree then you are in the "fairway". The greens are well kept and lush, though there was a mix of winter and summer grass due to the recent tempature fluctuations, and they are cut a little high and are therefore on the slower side, but there are few dead spots. A little pricey at $40 on weekends, but for an ocassional trip it is worth the price to be a part of Jacksonville and American golf history.

Nice older course with lots of dog legs. It has some water and plenty of bunkers. The greens need some work. Fairways were in OK shape. Pace of play was slow. There was no starter. It seems a lot of courses have done away with rangers and starters as cost cutting measure. On the weekends you need a starter at least till twilight starts. All in all an enjoyable afternoon. Hopefully the spring will be kinder to the greens than the winter was.

Course was in really good shape from the tee box to the greens. Course is beautiful and has lots of neat changes in elevation. Wish they had some ball washers but thats a simle thing. Pace of play was really good.

The golf course has a good layout but the fairways and greens are hard like concrete. I cant see myself playing here anytime soon. It needs a little TLC.

The Layout of the course is awesome it is a Donald Ross built in 1925 enough said. The Fairways need attention hard pact and need some grass. Greens need more attention from a really good greens keeper slow and grainy, also while you are fixing things up how about some attention to all the bunkers on the course. Bunkers need to be trimmed out with some attention to detail. Has the potential to be a great course just needs a Greens Keeper who is excited to get it back into shape.

I've played this course a few times a year since the mid 80's. It is the classic southern, old school golf course. Tree lined fairways, undulating greens, but less water than most. I would definately recommend this old school beauty. Only thing, DO NOT take a cart out of numerical order, or you WILL be scolded.

Its an old course but fun to play good lay out and a little changeling but Fun.

The fairways and greens are worst than any municipal course. Could be lot of play, but sure looks like neglect. Too many bald spots in greens and grass in fairways is gone in most landing areas. It's a shame because of so much potential.

Don't worry about tree time, because there's no starter. Maintained course with some wide fairways and some tight ones.

Good Value, Older course, had a fun day. Nice little course for he value, I would def play again. All in all, the course does require a little attention here and there, but is pretty well kept up for the most part. Tee boxes were nice, greens could be a little better, and fairways were fine. Pace of play was fine, just don't expect anything pristine, but for the price not a bad deal at all.

Highly recommend a course that is not expensive and fairly easy to play.

Would return to play again. enjoyed this course.
fairly easy course. great for beginners

Played on busy day and had to wait on every hole. Just lined everyone up at first tee and waited your turn. Had tee time but that wasn't honored. Desk personnel left something to be desired. Treated rather brusquely, let people cut in front. Didn't get the impression that they cared about my business.
Course was decent and will give it a try on a less busy day. Had some interesting holes and if could play it without the waiting would be much more enjoyable.

Course need to work on greens and not let 6 poeple go off at one time
