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.

Dump
The greens were brown with crab grass growing. The fairways were not cut correctly. The pace of play was a six hour round. There was no ranger to speed up play. I don't recommend anyone dpend $70 to play this course.
Another Arnie Disappointment
I really wanted to like this course, but found it to be a typical Arnie design, and impossible for the average golfer - junk on both sides of fairway when teeing off (no place to miss), forced carries, many over water all the way to green, and stupid greens. Add in a 5+ hours round and I couldn't wait to leave, and wont be back. Plenty of other courses in the Jax area that offer a better experience for around the same price.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, Mlynes. 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.
worst course in Jacksonville
The course was in terrible shape. The greens were briwn with crab grass growing throughout. The pace of play was the worst I ever experienced. Six hours for afternoon round of golf.
The cost is overpriced for the quality of the ciurse

Very interesting
This course is not normal. And it might be much better in the summer.
It is a very hard layout - which is fine but the conditions were poor.
The history of the course sort of defines it. It was a tour stop and you can tell. A long par 5 into the wind with a small island green - yeah that's a 7 for double digit handicappers.
It was winter but the conditions were all over the place.
It's too hard to be a 'regular weekend course' but not nice enough to be a 'destination play'
I'm attempting to be critical but fair. The practice areas are GREAT. Would def. play again.

Perfect Day at Hidden Hills
I had a fun and great round at Hidden Hills today. The weather was perfect in the mid 60's and a few clouds - it doesn't get much better than this.
Thank you to all the staff at Hidden Hills for making my day so special.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Photog57. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Hidden Hills Golf Course thanks you!
Tough first 9 holes
First 9 holes really tough with lot's of water. Fairways and greens were fine, some of the tee-offs were really awful however

We do enjoy Hidden Hills when the pace of play is quick as it was today. Greens were a little brown and rough in places but good course which we frequent monthly

The course was fun to play, every kind of shot and lie, some spots were in need of tlc, but overall, well worth playing. The staff was great

Challenging golf course.
HH is a challenging course that is well maintained and it has a friendly staff. The golf carts are very comfortable. Course management is paramount at Hidden Hills.

Very nice
Really enjoyed playing at this course, very nice layout , easy playing , and for whatever reason , my wife and I played the entire 18 holes without anyone else to be seen!
Great experience
Great value for money!
This course is well worth a visit for the price point. Excellent value for money. The first 12 holes have a lot of water that is in play, so it can lead to a few lost balls. As a result pace of play can be a little slow and there are no rangers on the course to help faster groups play through.
That being said, the layout is great, condition is good and the greens are in good condition. I would definitely play again.
