Jacksonville Trip Report


Argonne69

Recommended Posts

I'm in the Jacksonville area for three days, and five rounds. I'll post course reviews along the way, and pics when I get home. It's overcast and 64 degrees today, which is a definite step up from the 30 degree temps in Chicago. Tomorrow's forecast looks grim with t-storms. I'm hoping they're wrong.

 

I started the trip this morning with a nice round at Ponte Vedre Inn and Club (Lagoon). The course is everything you'd expect from a Florida course. Water comes into play on 80 percent of the holes. It's a short par 70 course that includes 6 par 3's, and a number of short par 4's. However, two of the par 5's are 550+ yards, and the 3's average over 180 yds. It's a fairly tight course with well guarded greens. A solid test for such a short course. I was pleasantly surprised by the mounding on the course. Rather than being a perfectly flat layout, they've sculpted some contours into the fairways, so flat lies were rather rare. The water hazards aren't overly penal, and only come into the play with a poor shot.

 

I thought the greenside bunkering was well done, but the course could use more fairway bunkers. The greens were on the small side, which was no surprise given the course length. For the most part they were benign. They weren't boring, but not overly challenging.

 

The course was in very nice shape. They sanded the greens early this morning, but they still rolled with a good pace. Bunkers were quite fluffy.

 

Decent day ballstriking given that I haven't swung a club in a month. 9 fairways and 11 greens. Three scrambles and one birdie helped keep the score under 80. I got away with a few errant shots in the opening holes, and settled into a rhythm mid round.

 

Overalls I enjoyed the course. I wouldn't say it's a destination course, but if you're in the area playing TPC Sawgrass, it's a worthy addition.

 

I'll be teeing off on the Valley course at TPC Sawgrass in an hour.

Looking forward to your reviews in Jacksonville. I will be there from the 26th of January through February 3rd for a golf trip. Only course I know i'm playing right now is the Oak Marsh course.

 

Also like your insight and postings on the LPGA tour. I watch the ladies play more than I do the PGA tour.

The Valley course at TPC Sawgrass this afternoon. Yup, it's a classic Pete Dye design. Railroad ties? Check. Lateral bunkering? Check. I wouldn't call the course weird, but it certainly has quite a few holes that just look "different". The course feels a bit narrow, but I thought it was fair given the length. Over half the holes have water on them, including the three final holes that have a lateral running (almost) the entire left side. Two of the par 3s were very good, but the other two were meh. The par 5s were short, and offered good birdie opportunities. I thought there could be more bunkering on the course. However, given the amount of water, it's probably a good thing it's not sandier. The short par 4s were good, but not great. I expect more trouble off the tee on a 300 yard hole. The greens were fairly benign. I expected more difficult greens.

 

The course was in very good shape. I believe the area got quite a bit of rain last Sunday, and while there were a handful of wet spots, it was more than playable. Some of of the greenside bunkers needed more sand. 'Don't particularly care for hardpan under a half inch of sand. Green speeds were too slow for my taste. My group left way too many putts short.

 

Another decent round ballstriking with 10 fairways and 12 greens. I birdied two of the par 5s, but only had one scramble. I tell you, it's tough adapting to the Bermuda rough. Catch it a hair fat, and it's chunk city.

 

I'm a big Pete Dye fan, but I wasn't blown away here. Yeah, it's a solid layout, but there's no "Wow". It probably makes a good companion to the Stadium course, but if it was a stand-alone course I wouldn't go out of my way to play it.

 

On the plus side, I believe this was my 100th round of the year, making 4 years in a row with 100+ rounds.

It's looking like it's going to be a soggy day on the Stadium course. There's a steady rain falling, and the forecast calls for up to 4 inches. On the positive side, there's no wind at this time. Hopefully the winds stay calm.

Just finished up on the Stadium course, and I'm trying to dry off. Lol. Given the forecast, I'm extremely happy about how things turned out. They started us on the 10th, and we played in a steady light rain for 6 holes. When we pulled up to the 16th tee the rain stopped. Perfect. We played the three signature holes in near perfect weather. On the 2nd hole it started to rain again, and by the 7th it was quite heavy. So, while not ideal, it could have been a lot worse. Yes, the course has fantastic drainage. I think I had two iffy lies all round.

 

As for the layout, I really enjoyed it. With no homes on the course, and a number of grandstands already up, it feels like a tournament course. Many have said that the Valley course is tougher, and I agree. If one plays fairly conservatively, one can stay out of trouble. The pros generally go for the greens in two on the par 5s, and that's a whole different beast.

 

As noted, the conditions were excellent. My only beef was that the greens were dog slow. With the recent rains they've held back cutting them. 90% of our group's putts today came up short. Some way short.

 

I had a very odd day ballstriking. I only managed 4 fairways, but still hit 12 greens. A few holes had brutal rough, and there was no way to get enough club on it to reach the green. However, I got a few good lies in the rough on some holes, and managed to find the middle of the green. I also had a few good approaches out of the lateral bunkers. Only one birdie, but with four pars on the par 3s I mangaged a nice 78 in the rain. I'll certainly take it.

 

So, now for the $500 question. Is it worth it? For the average player I'd have to lean towards no. I do enjoy teeing it up where the pros play, but one can hit TPC Deere Run for 1/5th the price. If you like checking off bucket list courses, then definitely book a tee time. However, I think most players are going to say it's not a $500 course.

Hi Argonne. Quite a coincidence. I’m in Jax this weekend on a solo trip as well down from Boston. Partially due to your many posts on solo trips and partly to sneak in a few hours with iteach this morning. I wasn’t so lucky today, didn’t get out.

 

I’m playing osprey cove just over the border tomorrow then not sure on Sunday and Monday Curious to hear what else you have on tap for your trip. You’ve always seem to find the best spots.

Good write up. I played the stadium on Sunday after heavy rain all

Morning. Course drained great and the 4+ inches of rain didn’t affect any of my shots. After playing it, I would say the layout is one of my favorites but I agree I don’t think I would pay $500/round to play again.

 

I played Dye Valley on Monday and it was still pretty wet from Sunday’s rain. Found a few spots in the fairway where I needed to take relief from some pooling. Thought it played much easier than the Stadium course but Monday was a calm and cool day.

 

Were you able to get a sneak peak of the Players locker room? Very neat experience to hear the stories and see where the Pros spend their time.

I'll be at Oak Marsh tomorrow morning, and North Hampton in the late morning. Both seemed to be highly regarded by the locals. Hopefully the rain will have passed, and no cart path only. I'm going to show up early at Oak Marsh to try to to get out before the first group. If not I will have a rough time finishing my 2nd round before having to leave for the airport. My flight is at 5 pm.

 

No, didn't get a chance to check out the Players lockeroom. Sounds interesting. The clubhouse is really something. The entire facility is fantastic.

 

I should note that the permanent cart path only policy on the Stadium course is BS. I can see having CPO a few weeks before the Players, but year around? I asked about walking with a pushcart, and it's also verbotten. Seriously? My fat a** walking on the turf is definitely going to do more damage than a 30 lb bag on three wheels. Oy veh.

I hope the drainage at Oak Marsh is good. Twenty minutes until the opening tee shot. A light rain is falling, but they haven't said anything (yet) about Cart restrictions.

Turned out to be cart path only at Oak Marsh, but given that the course is not particularly wide, it wasn't too bad. The light rain stopped after a few holes, and it felt good to ditch the rain gear.

 

The course does not look or feel like a Florida course. It has more of a Carolina low country feel, with magnolias and oaks lining the holes. There are homes along the holes, but they don't crowd it. I was told it's a Pete Dye design, but it didn't feel like it. The course is fairly short, and driver is not needed on a number of holes. I liked the mix of par 3s. Water comes into play on a number of holes, but it's not overdone. The greens were fairly small and rather boring. They don't really have cart paths, but rather crushed rock waste areas than run the entire length of most holes. Interesting.

 

The highlight is the 9th, 16th, 17th, and 18th. They play along the inland marsh (sound?) and have a great look.

 

Course conditions were fine. A little wet in spots, but not sloppy. Greens rolled nicely with moderate speeds. Bunkers were wet, but still fluffy.

 

Decent round ballstriking with 10 fairways and 11 greens. Only two scrambles though. Still adjusting to the Bermuda. Nice birdies on 9 and 10, but otherwise no real highlights.

 

I thought it was a fine course, and I'd certainly recommend it if one is in the area. However, it's no destination course.

Wow, is that the sun, and blue sky? So why is it still raining. Lol. I got to North Hampton 90 minutes early, and they were able to get me on the course. However, I'm out as a single tailing five or six foursomes, so no speed golf to finish the trip. It's very likely I'll have to head back to the car before the 18th in order to make my flight.

Well, I got lucky at NH. Apparently a number of groups in front of me were with an outing that had a shotgun start. It was clear sailing for the most part after the 10th hole, with only a few groups to play through.

 

North Hampton is almost opposite of Oak Marsh, with wide open views, generous fairways and greens, and some (modest) elevation changes. There's more trouble off the tee in the form of bunkers and water hazards. The greens were fairly well guarded, but not overly difficult. There's a good mix of long and short 3s, 4s, and 5s, ranging from the beastly 580 yard 2nd to the 117 yd 17th. Like Oak Marsh I thought the short 4s weren't terribly difficult off the tee. The front was fairly uninteresting visually, but starting on the 10th it was golden. I believe it was the par 5 12th that really shined, although the par 4 16th was no slouch.

 

Conditions were hit or miss. I assume because of the outing they decided to let carts out w/ 90 degree in place. There were a number of very wet spots that had tire tracks through them. Ouch. The course's cart paths are primarily sand, and there were dozens of puddles in the low areas. Most of the bunkers were wet sand, with a handful of small lakes in them. The greens were fine, and a little faster than Oak Marsh.

 

With the generous fairways I easily managed 12 fairways. However, the damp fairways were chewing up any roll, and with my back finally running out of gas I only found 8 greens. A pair of birdies helped the cause, but not enough time keep the score below 80.

 

Overall I'd say it's a very good layout, and worth a visit.

Bummer. Sitting at the airport looking at the blue skies and 72 degree temps. Definitely caught a bit of bad luck with the weather, but it certainly could have been worse. I had a good time though on this, my 8th golf trip of the year. I'll post pics tomorrow, and my final thoughts and course rankings on Monday.
