Much room for improvement

This course needs a lot of work. Tees and fairways were not good, lots of bare dirt with some grass areas. Same with fringes on most greens. Most of the greens had a good cover of grass but 2 or 3 had weed issues. Greens were so firm a ball landing on the green left no divot and it usually ended up going off the back even on well lofted shots. I normally hit 65% or so of greens in regulation but today my percentage was near 25. Not a great experience and won’t go back anytime soon. I’ll stick with the other “budget minded” course in town.

Overall, pretty good.

One or two fairways and a couple of greens in rough shape...need some long term restoration. Other than that, course plays well. One thing nice about it being 9 holes, you can alter a strategy or correct a mistake the second time through. Don't get that opportunity playing on a 18 hole course.

Bang for your buck

I’ve played here a couple times. The greens are not in the best shape, but the course overall is pretty fun to play. I’m no pro but it’s not too difficult of a course. We had one of the first tee times so pace was smooth the first 9. Once we had to replay the 9 it got really slow because more tee times were played. I think it took an 1.5 hours for the first 9 then prolly 2.5 the second so def slowed up. Played from back tees first 9 then group wanted to do mid tees. Some holes weren’t too much of a difference but others seemed like they pushed the mid tees way farther than normal. I’ve played other 9 hole courses in Jax and this one is my favorite. If you don’t want to spend a lot but want a decent course this is the one. Staff is friendly, no cart girl or clubhouse really just a mobile trailer but for me not too big a deal.

Friendly staff & Great nine hole course.

Positive’s ~ Great value for a 9 hole course . The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The layout is pretty simple but yet challenging. The greens were in good condition considering how cold it’s been. The carts were clean and in good working condition. The snacks and beverages were reasonably priced.

Needs work ~ (1) The first thing I noticed was most of the tee boxes were in poor condition with divots and being un-level. ( maybe add some divot sand buckets at each tee box for players to use) (2) the pace of play on this particular day was the worst I’ve ever seen it. We had to wait 10-15 minutes after every shot and it got to be so frustrating we decided to leave before the end of our game. ( was the course overbooked? ) (3) No facilities on the course which is understandable for a friendly budget business.

Overall ~ Awesome staff! Great valued course and fun to play.

Good remodel

They’ve done a good job with the remodel of this course. Very short and very easy. Greens rolling well. Fairways filling in nicely. Two par fives should be long par fours. Overall a fun little track to play nine.

Just a fun round

Was a little crowded but nothing bad. Course conditions continue to improve with all the greens being great, 5 of 7 fairways are great but most of the tee boxes need work. Still, just a fun round on a fairly easy and fun course. Really enjoy this place

Love to play this course. Greens are the best around. Fairways are good but with some bare spots. Tees are good.

Great Staff

Pace Pace Pace every time I play here hoping it’ll be different and it never is. Staff is great but the pace of play is painfully slow and you must pray every time you hit the turn that there is not a line waiting at hole 1.
