Course layout difficult but challenging.

I liked the layout of the course but the conditions were not great. I would play it again if I could get the great deal I had this time to play. Would not pay full price. Crowded and slow to play, wait on most shots, but still finished in a decent time. Glad to have been in a foursome for pace of play. Harder for ladies as lots of layups due to water. Not a 114 slope in my book.

Get what you pay for!

I had not played Jax Beach in about 8 years and booked a Tee Time because of the price. I go what I paid for! The front nine greens were terrible and the back nine were just ok! Greens were super slow...the slowest I have ever played! I will not go back until the greens are in better shape. The course has a ton of potential but needs care.

Open course

The course was in fair condition. The greens needed attention but fairways were nice. The practice area could use attention. You can only hit off mats and the practice green had not been mowed but overall a good value for the price.

Good for a Hot Deal... But not for regular price

It's a good solid course, greens on front 9 leave something to be desired, back 9 were a little better maintained.

Great Value

If youre looking for a TPC kept course then book down the road. However if youre looking for a descent public course and a descent price then this is your course. Greens were not in the best shape on our visit but Im not Tiger Woods either, just trying to have an enjoyable day of golf without going broke.

Fun course

Greens were a bit sandy and some where still patchy from previous work. Overall all rolled pretty smooth and many were very quick

On a finishing note though, there were two American Bald Eagles sitting on the edge of the water on the left of the closing hole. Nice way to finish the round.

Well maintained and has good features

Not a very long course, 6500 from the blues, and iron play is key since a driver is only used on 6-8 holes.

Back 9 greens are all top dressed

We were paired up with another twosome that were extremely slow. While it was wide open in front and back of us. Round took 5 hours when we could have finished in 2 1/2.

Fun Course

Jax Beach Golf Club, is a really fun course to play. It is well maintained, challenging, and I had a great time playing this course. The staff is great, and while playing my round, the level of service was second to none. I never went thirsty! I can't think of anything I did not like here. I recommend everyone try this course at least once.

Nice upgrades

The changes that have been made to the course make it a little tougher to play and much more pleasing to the eye. The greens are not quite grown in yet and can lead to frustration on some putts. Overall this course is my favorite municiple course that I've played.

Not bad

Played around noon on a Tuesday, as a two-some (rare it seems for this course). Greens were very, very slow. Fairways were ok - large weed patches in some areas. Bunkers were actually in good shape, sand was soft and easy to get out of. Nice to see they no longer have any temporary greens.

Very enjoyable to play

Returned to play this course because of my first experience and will come back to play again (as also planned by my golf buddies. Well maintained, friendly and efficient staff, challenging but fair course (if mid to upper handicapper you will lose a ball or two (or more).

course had great potential but no real effort done making condition improvement.

Course is a city owned and operated facility.....so the bar is set rather low in all aspects of its operation.
