Enjoyable overall experience

Friendly staff played off the white tee Boxes which were a bit worn and at times had some slope.

Course layout is reasonably friendly

Yesterday pace was excellent done in 3 hours 45 minutes, at times it is pretty slow more than 4 hours. It all depends with players on the course.

Real gem and well maintained.

Julington Creek was in pretty good overall shape from tee box to green although the back nine greens were in better shape and faster since the front did not appear to be mowed and had some grassless patches but nothing major. The grass on the fairways was kept higher than most courses which was ok since it made for perfectly set up lies - good for mid-high handicappers.
The course layout is very good and has a nice blend of short and moderately long par fours from the whites and the par threes can all be reached with an iron. There's a strange 440 yd par five requiring a layup off the tee and a forced carry approach. There's a couple of other forced carries over marshes and a mix of woods or water lined fairways which is always fun. Some greenside sand traps are severe and all had adequate sand.
Very much a thinking golfers course and seems to consistently well maintained.

Challenging, but worth a try

Great but somehow challenging course, particularly when played for the first time. It is definitely worth a second try, even if the staff did not have much more than a friendly "hello" for us.: no help with the carts or bags, no instructions at the start.

Amazing Greens

As a winter visitor I was amazed at the quality of the greens especially for this time of year. I also met some very professional and friendly staff members. Steve who greeted me was more than helpful and the Starter "Nap" gave me more than expected information about the course and the area. I will come back and play this course because of the quality of the greens and the exceptional staff. This is a must play course if you are in the Jacksonville area. Thanks you made me feel welcomed and appreciated for coming to this course.

Its Golf

This course was pretty decent. Not that tight, with decent greens. Replay value of $20 was very fair. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Pace of play was very slow. No ranger on the course.

Very slow round

We booked at 10:20 tee time in a Friday. We were paired up with another 2 some. The round took 5 hours and 15 minutes. We had to wait on every hole and every shot. Some tee boxes need attention badly. Very uneven and not a lot of grass on some. Greens were nice but very fuzzy and slow (perhaps they have been over seeded )

Nice Course

This is a nice course, overall well maintained with tees, fairways, and greens in good shape. The bunkers were poor, due primarily to heavy rains two days prior. The pace of play was very good in that we had minimal waits and were not pushed by the group following. We were paired with another twosome and we all enjoyed playing together.

Enjoyed Our Round

Played here on a Saturday afternoon. Pace of play was good. Did have to wait on some holes. But, overall not bad for a Saturday (4-1/2 hours). Proshop staff okay. Cart staff paid no attention to us even though not husy whenvwe arrived. Why have a bag drop? Rough was a little long in places resulting in too much hunting where you shouldn't have to.

Rain has hurt greens.

Played on a Wednesday. Pace of play was only average for war midweek round. Fairways on the majority of holes were sketchy at this time and greens have been dramatically altered due to the excessive rain.

Above The Others

Where some courses have let things get outrageously overgrown, waterlogged, and generally poor condition-wise, CCJC has done a job from tee to green. In fact, the fairways might be in as good a shape as they've ever been. Keep up the good work!

not what we expected

the course was ok at best... the first cut off fairways was about 4 inches and muddy.. i expected the rain, but seem like like hadn't been mowed as expected, fairways were ok for the most part. greens were slow, really slow.. 18 holes . in no hurry to go back.. we had tee time set up, was told its really tight, we sat watching 1st tee and nobody teeing off for at least 30 mins, finally starter says if u want to go u can. was glad i got a deal on golf now... ill recommend because it may be better another day

My round at Champions Club

The course has a nice layout and no two holes are the same. I feel that the course and slope rating is a little too low for this course. A little tighter a tougher than the ratings would lead you to believe. Worth a trip there to play this course.
