Julington Creek

Nice course with very friendly staff. The starter is very accommodating for getting you started on time and even early if he can work you in. Greens were in good shape and most of the fairways were too.

Strong Course - "19th Hole" needs help

The course layout and conditions were great, definitely in the top 80% that I have played in Florida. They need to put some hot dogs/hamburgers and fries into the clubhouse, the handmade sandwiches do not make EVERYONE happy. It is a nice place, but add a little something extra.

Nice course for the money

Julington Creek is a nice course for the price. The staff was very friendly. The greens were not very fast, but rolled true. There was a good variety of holes - some doglegs, some straight away, a short driveable Par 4.

First and LAST time for us

We booked a 1;30 pm tee-time Friday evening for Saturday afternoon. At that time nearly every tee-time was available for Saturday from open/close. I double checked late Saturday morning to see how full the course would be.

When booking my tee-time I should have noticed a red flag being as their tee-times are 9 minutes apart...wow!

When we got the course we were told they were out of carts and we would have to wait for the next players to finish... that's a bad sign too. If you book your tee-times so condensed that your run out of carts that makes for a very poor pace of play -- and it did.

The course was decent, the greens were in great shape. Between the tee-box and greens the grass was in moderate shape, not bad but nothing special. I wouldn't complain about the conditions but I wouldn't go home and praise them or suggest anyone go out of their way to make it out there.

I will not play here again given managements priority to squeeze as many players as possible on the course. Time is valuable and a round is simply not worth it for those conditions at any price. Certainly not at $35 with as many courses as north Florida has to offer.

Impressed!

I've been playing here occasionally for over 30 years and this is the best shape I've ever seen it in, especially the greens. They were a little slow compared to some other courses in the area but they were beautiful and rolled true!
