Hidden Hills Country Club, located in the picturesque Ft. Caroline neighborhood not far from Jacksonville, is situated on a site of historic conflict that saw the great conflicts between France and Spain. Its course module was launched by TGC 2019 simulation software and was designed by JayBrd85, who based the design on its original layout. Arnold Palmer renovated the 6,892-yard private golf course in 1986 after it had been constructed in 1966 on top of an old sand dune.
Palmer’s inventiveness contributed to the creation of a championship-caliber golf course that is unparalleled in natural beauty and effectively utilizes the rare steep topography to produce a distinctive Florida golf challenge. The fairways are bordered by imposing pines and magnificent oaks, and the unpredictable greens have given Hidden Hills its reputation as one of North Florida’s most difficult courses. Sharp doglegs, well-placed water hazards, and predominantly elevated putting surfaces present a formidable challenge for low handicappers. Many of the greens at Hidden Hills Country Club have well-bunked approaches and are narrow. From the championship tees, Hidden Hills has a rating of 74.0 and a slope rating of 136
