Jacksonville FL course rankings?

[booty4]

Was down in Jax for the Players last week.  Only got to play twice due to the rain.  Heads up on North Hampton, the greens are absolute dog s***. More than half of them have mud/dirt as a portion of the green, apparently they got a fungus in the last year or two that ruined them.  Made a huge mistake deciding to play there instead of Amelia River.  Its a shame because the layout is really cool, some fun holes, but the greens were just horrid.

Any recent updates or recommendations / rankings for playable public tracks within an hour of JAX?  Wondering if it’s worth the ride to Amelia or not.

Eagle Landing in Orange Park is usually a great value. Fun layout, good condition, good price.

Eagle Harbor, Fleming Island and St Johns GCC both in great shape.  South Hampton is solid except the greens are a bit rough.

Has anyone played the golf course at White Oak Conservation near the GA border?

 

Also, I looked the course up on google maps and there is an immaculate 18 hole course that borders it ... anyone know what that is?

Hammock dunes is nice but a drive. I like the Amelia island courses 

Agree. Played HD twice and will again. Friend is a member. Amelia National is a good but private track. Osprey Cove in GA is a nice and long track.

just played that in a charity tournament.  great track.  would enjoy playing that as my home course a lot.  dont know much about the dues or fees.

 

plenty of private courses in the area.  Jacksonville CC is also another great spot.

Just played Stillwater over the weekend and it was amazing. The greens are like glass and the track is very different from your typical Florida course. Definitely should give it a try

Bert - thanks for the update on Stillwater. Seems like this place was in the "about to open" stage forever.

 

Glad you liked it. I had been waiting for some feedback.

 

Is Stillwater an easy course to walk (and I guess do they allow walking?)

 

Same for San Jose CC - walking culture at this club?

 

Thanks.

No idea if they allow walking or not yet. For the most part, absolutely walkable. I only recall a long stretch from 14 to 15 through pre-residential area. Loved the design of the course. Very minimal rough areas, nice open fairways and tough approaches into the greens. Wall-styled bunkers and like I said the greens were rolling pure. The practice facility is probably my favorite part of the course. Definitely give it a try, a nice option to indulge every once in a while if you get bored of the other CR210 courses

Never played this course but every time I drive by, it seems like it has a relatively small footprint. Plus it’s a very old and classic Country Club. I assume a very walkable course, between some trees, and minimal elevation with great conditions

I play at San Jose and consider it very walkable and walker-friendly. You will see lots of pushcarts and remote carts on most days, including even busy weekends.

Making a trip to Jax with 3 friends for Players weekend. Looking to play 4 to 6 rounds. Any updated suggestions on courses to play?

King & Bear is awesome, play it every time through JAX, Slammer and Squire is pretty nice as well.

TPC Sawgrass is up to like $800 bucks non-summer rate....I played it 2006 or so, it was $350

Windsor Park is where get in after work 9s when I work out of JAX office.

Agree with the comment below, K&B and S&S are great courses and fun to play. Slammer is in amazing condition right now, I drive by it everyday. Stillwater is also a great new track just one exit north of World Golf Village
