Don't play here...

The course was in really bad shape. Greens, fairways, etc...

Was pretty slow as well. Just not a great place to play golf. I definitely would recommend spending an extra $10 and going somewhere else.

Worth it if it is a hot deal

Played here for the low 20 price range and it was well worth it. The greens on the front 9 seem to be a little worse than the back. I can remember 2 or 3 having very little grass. Course is starting to green up and it should be in pretty good shape in a month or so. Water everywhere. Lost 3 balls which is more than usual. Probably a little better than the average course in the area. Grab you a hot dog at the turn. They are pricey, but delicious. Got to see a bald eagle swoop down to the water and grab him some lunch which was pretty awesome to see.

Even goats would be disappointed .

I've played here plenty of times and it's at an all time low. Beyond the horrible conditions of the greens, the fairways had almost no grass what so ever. I would recommend closing for 30 days and getting it back to a playable situation.

Back to being a dog track

This course could be so nice, but it is completely run down at this point. Rough is a joke. Fairways are tight and frequently bare, weeds, or sand. The greens are half dead in places where they have spray painted them green. They have zero spin for chip shots. They do not hold lines. They bump putts all over the place like Plinko. Luck is more important than skill in making anything longer than 2 feet. Pace of play is terrible and there are no rangers to move along the groups of octogenarians who park almost on the greens and can't hit the ball more than 50 yards but refuse to allow faster groups to play through. Avoid unless you just can't afford the extra $5-10 to play anywhere else.

Greens are bare and spotty, very rough to putt on. Fairways are firm with dormant tight lies. Good value and relaxing time is about it.

bring a life preserver

avoid untill late april

for some reason they did not over seed the greens this year. I usually love to play here in the winter because the rye greens are better than the summer Bermuda. since they saved money by just letting them go dormant the results were horrible. unputtable. like putting on dirt. ill try again when the Bermuda grass comes in. until then STAY AWAY

Jax Beach Golf Club

Course appeared to be in run down condition. greens were slow and had sand on them. Standing water on several holes although it had not rained. I had played here about 10 yrs ago and it was a totally different course. It was in great shape.

Where did that wind come from?

My son (12 YRS old) and I played on Sunday. There wasn't very many players because of the wind ( it was blowing 15MPH ), but that meant we could take our time. Greens were looking pretty good, in fact course seemed to be handling the change in weather pretty well.
