Hidden Hills Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Tucked away in the beautiful Ft. Caroline area near Jacksonville, Hidden Hills Country Club stands on a historic battleground that witnessed the fierce struggles between France and Spain and continued into golf history with searing competition during the heyday of the Greater Jacksonville Open.
The 6,892-yard private golf course, built in 1966 on an ancient sand dune, was redesigned by Arnold Palmer in 1986. Palmer's creativity helped create a championship-caliber golf course unmatched in natural beauty that makes excellent use of rare hilly terrain to create a unique Florida golf challenge. The fairways are lined with majestic pines and stately oaks, and the unpredictable greens have helped Hidden Hills gain the reputation of being one of the most challenging courses in North Florida.
Sharp doglegs, strategic placement of water hazards and putting surfaces that are mostly elevated serve up a mighty test for the low handicapper. Approaches are narrow and many of Hidden Hills Country Club's greens are well bunkered.
Hidden Hills has a rating of 74.0 from the championship tees, and the slope rating is 136.

Nice course
Lots of hills not offen found in this area. Tough greens no straight putts. Look forward to playing again
Skow play!!
Need a ranger! Fairways were OK.. lots of hard snad and grass. Greens were bumpy and fast.
Nice course
Great course. Very pretty. Play was slow. I’d fire Richard that works at the counter though. I’ve been twice and both times he was a Richard. (Names not Richard but you get the drift)
Interesting layout
Nice layout. Course not in great shape, but good for a starter round if get a hot deal. Greens fast. Tee boxes dry.
Good Stuff
Great day on the course only held up in the last 9 after lunch. The greens were very fast and the whole course could use some love and attention and watering still good
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, marcwinant! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Hidden Hills Golf Course.
Walrus
Greens need a little work but overall a great layout and fun track.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, CS6543! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Hidden Hills Golf Course.
Good course, could be great
1st time playing this course and had high expectations based on prior reviews and for the most part the course lived up to them. Challenging layout with several forces carries over water. One of the only negatives is the tee boxes which definitely need some work. Several of them were basically just sand, no grass to be found. Pace of play was also very slow, 18 holes took a bit over 5 hours. Granted we played on Sunday and it was extremely windy but still pretty slow.
Overall I would say this is a course worth playing.

Hidden Hills
I’ve always liked HH’s layout, but unfortunately the course conditions have continued to deteriorate over the past several years such that it is no longer enjoyable. Course maintenance is lacking; some TLC is much required.

Tee area is starting to appear bare and not very good for teeing off on quite a few holes

Another great day at HH
My long time playing partner and I had another great day at Hidden Hills yesterday. But what topped everything off, and made our day even better was Tony was not working. Dude needs to cheer up, smile, and treat non-members and members the same.

Fantastic Layout, course needs some work
The course layout is great, but the conditions are poor. The green were bare in spots and the fairway is in average condition at the least. I would not pay more than 35$ to play it right now, if conditions improve I would pay 65-70$.
Thank you for acknowledging our course layout and for your honest feedback about the conditions. We are working on improvements and hope to invite you back to experience the enhancements soon.
meh
worse shape I've seen the greens and tee boxes. Still a fun course though.

Course is overpriced
Not as good as it was a few years ago. Great course layout but tee boxes are horrible, greens have weeds. Nice golf carts and speed of play is good because nobody plays there anymore.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, maggiesarasusie. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Hidden Hills Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Sunday am so 4.5 hr round
bit slow, course is better than it has been in past years. Beers only $5 for a tall boy. Some greens need work, as do some tee boxes.
