First time, enjoyed the course!
Short course, par 68. It was my first time playing golf in Jacksonville and just what I needed to knock some rust off; short, fairly forgiving course. Plenty of grass and the greens rolled fine. For the value it was a great round; will definitely be back!
Had a 7:30 Tee time and arrived at 7:15, which the shop woman had not shown up yet. There was a line of people who had earlier tee times that were not happy. The shop woman finally showed up, which caused a long line of us waiting to play, so pace of play was much slower than it should have been, which we ended up playing 14 holes; we got tired of waiting. Course was in good condition though.
Just Horrible
Been here twice and each time I have booked a tee time I have teed of 40+min late due to a lack of carts. That is absurd. I have seen first hand why they don’t have carts as well. There is no starter or anyone managing who gets carts. The person who seems like they are supposed to be managing that can be found hitting on the range and walking over occasionally to let you know you can tee off once a cart is free and then walks back to hitting. I have seen people not golfing take a cart and ride around with a group that is golfing and I also saw 2 guy golfing together each grab their own cart and 2 holes later I see them using the carts to joust each other with their clubs. This could easily be managed with a starter and someone to manage pace of play which by the way is horrible here. Course is in decent shape but when you have to deal with everything that comes along with playing here it just isn’t worth it. Spend your money and time elsewhere.
Amazing Values; Short/Beginners 9 Hole Muni
They have been much better about trying to save Carts for people with tee times. Pace of play is still hit or miss, and the layout is still my favorite in Jax.
9 holes, so 18 is playing the same 9 holes twice. Cant beat the price though. Course conditions continuing to look better and better despite the summer heat rolling in hard already.
Fivesome Slowing Down whole Course
They allowed a five some on the course that was awful, and clogged up the course. Had 3 separate groups on a par 3 waiting behind them. Good luck getting a cart on weekends, even with a tee time you have to wait.
Walmart of Golf, no ranger so if pace of play is bad, deal with it lol
Lack of Carts
Love the course, but so often they are out of carts, and the wait time is an hour + / unknown. City of Jax can do better.
Favorite layout in town, not just flat and straight like Blue Cypress. Price is great, and course is slowly but surely looking better and better
Out of carts early.
Two weeks in a row the course was out of carts at 830. Waited forty five minutes for an employee to finally give me his cart he was riding around in. I like the course. It’s cheap. But this is unacceptable.
Getting better
They have a remarkable job with the greens an tee-boxes. The fairways are also Improving, although have some ways to go. Keep it up.
Course has good layout
Maybe little over priced due to Hyde Park and Bent Creek older and more nicer course are about $10 difference more just a further drive. Would like rate round $20 or so. For value and time spent here.
Perfect Storm
The heavens opened up and let it rip we got to the 5th T and couldn’t take it anymore on the way back the Tree at the first hole was snapped at the base. They wouldn’t let us come back when the storm was over and they wouldn’t give us a rain check
Worst Course Ever
This is the absolute worst course ever! Not a single fairway had all grass, tree roots all over the course, not one paved cart path and our cart ran out of gas on the 3rd hole. False advertising of 18 holes and misleading pictures. Feel like we completely wasted our money. Do not come here if you like your golf clubs, they will get destroyed.
Lack of Carts
If it’s a weekend, I recommend showing up and hour before you’d like to tee off, otherwise you will wait a long time for carts.
No carts?
Got there for my 9:50 tee time and was told I had to wait for five groups in front of me for a cart, I ended up walking, but course needs better scheduling and operations management.
Great for beginners and the price. Short course, with an interesting layout. Same greenskeeper as blue cypress, and conditions are looking better by the week
Kenny
Only been playing since retiring 3 years now, live in Yulee, but my son suggested this course, said it was a fun course and good for someone that hasn’t been playing long. He was right, I loved it! Greens are in Excellent condition, fairways aren’t bad either, I think I’ll definitely be back
