Hyde Park Golf Club is one of the oldest in Florida. It was built in 1925 by the great golf architect, Donald Ross of Scotland. The beautiful design is favorite for all who play the game of golf. Rolling hills, gorgeous Spanish Oaks, and towering Southern Pines make Hyde Park a lasting experience.
Hyde Park Golf Club was a tour stop for the Men's and Lady's PGA Tour in the 40's and 50's. The Jacksonville Open graced the presence of many of the legendary players like Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Babe Zaharias, Patty Berg and Louise Suggs.
Mickey Wright won her first Professional Tournament at Hyde Park in 1956. Hyde Park preceeded the Greater Jacksonville Open and the Players Championship in making Northeast Florida a lasting experience.
In 1971, Hyde Park was puchased by former touring professionals, Billy Maxwell and Chris Blocker. They have successfully restored the course to it's best condition ever. In 2000, Hyde Park was voted the #1 Public Course by Folio Magazine.
Hyde Park is a treasure trove of golf history, and invites you to come make your own by exiting I-295 at Wilson, going east, then north on James to Hyde Park.
