Jacksonville Beach Golf Club
About
The newly revamped Jacksonville Beach Golf Club, built in 1959, is one of the only public access courses on Jacksonville's Beaches. The golf course was originally designed by Sam Snead.
The changes at Jacksonville Beach Golf Club began with the rebuilding and modernizing of more than half the greens on the golf course, along with some new bunkers and bulkheads to add to the already beautiful look.
The 18-hole golf course measures 6,510 yards from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 71.9, with a slope rating of 126.

Course has conditions and improved very much
Since the last time I played JB the course is in a lot better shape and a lot of fun for a high handicapper like myself. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend you try this course, especially for the price, you'll be glad you did.
Great track for the money.
Markings could be better but they have really improved conditions over the last 6 months.
Super team.
Good course. Needs some work but it was good for the price. I would go again if the price was right.
Great day
Very fun course at an affordable rate. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere very laid back. Great value and fun layout! I will play it again.
Terrible
Course was terrible. Grass was uncut and not up to par with any other course I've ever played on. Basically had mud and sand traps all over the greens.
Needs some TLC
First time playing and brought a friend. The folks in the Golf Shop were helpful and friendly. The course needs some work especially on some of the greens and fairways. Too many bare spots and weeds. The layout did have its challenges which meant you needed a fairly accurate shot on some holes. It was just OK and we probably would not return in the near future even though the greens fees were very reasonable.
Not very friendly to novice golfers
Played with my 12-year old son who is just learning to play. When I paid for our round, I explained that we were probably going to be slow due to this, and attendant told me it would be no problem, as he had nobody on the tee sheet for nearly an hour after us (it was a weekday after the first rush had gone off). When we reported to the 1st tee, the starter said there was a group right after us so we'd better keep up the pace. My son started slowly, so the starter rode up to the green and told us to pick up the pace. My son felt like he had to look over his shoulder the rest of the way, and suggested that next time we go to a "friendlier course". Way to grow the game, guys...
HAS CAME BACK FROM LAST SUMMER'S PROBLEMS
With the exception of a couple spotty greens, course has done a 180 from last year. Need to get back to red, white, and blue flags or some kind of rotation on pin locations
Pleasant Surprise!
I had not played here in over 1 year due to the fact that the last few times I did the course (fairways and greens) were in pretty bad shape! I have always enjoyed , not only the layout, but the overall friendliness of the people who work at this course! Always friendly, helpful and pleasant! Well, I was very pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course from tee boxes, to fairways, to greens! I can't remember ever seeing this course in better overall shape!
Enjoyable Round
Recently spent the week in JAX Beach. Our go to course was Jacksonville Beach GC. Really enjoyed the overall experience. Amazing that ALL the staff made you feel welcome...(Pro Shop, Starter, Lawn Maintenance Crew).
Really nice layout that offers challenges on every hole. Good to see every time we come back to the course, more improvements have occurred. Greens were vastly better than our last trip.
Don't understand people who complain about the conditions of the course when they're paying low fees. If you want a challenging round at a decent course with lower fees, try JAX GC.
Fun Relaxing Experience
It was our first time playing. We are accustomed to playing higher ranked courses but we're attracted by the low rate, so decided to try it. At first we were concerned when we saw Walking groups pulling hand carts which we never see anywhere else. We thought the play would be slow. However, we were surprised how nice the pace of play moved. The first nine was a little slow but the back nine - perfect. I really liked the layout of the course and although the yardage was not as long, it was challenging. I also liked the laid back vibe of the course... and the staff could not have been friendlier. They also had a nice bar area inside. Range balls were also nicely priced. I will happily go back to play there anytime.
Surprisingly improved
The last time I played the course it was wet but the course can stand it. It is vastly improved from a year ago for those who haven't played there lately. It offers senior rates for those over 65 and a nice discount after 12 noon. The staff is friendly and helpful and the newly remodeled restaurant has good food and reasonable prices. Walkers and two-somes are welcomed for added convenience. It's never going to be Sawgrass, it's a Muni, but it's golf without the high cost and with a laid back beach atmosphere.
Rough Greens
The greens on this course are extremely hard and lumpy. Hard to get a smooth roll of the ball.
Visitor from North
Visiting from North and just wanted to hit the ball around. Greens were in rough shape. Pace was good. Price was right on Golf Now so we played. Had a good time but not the course to play if expecting good course conditions. I would play it again if the price was right.
Great course still in very poor condition
JB has always been a wonderful layout but the overall condition and maintenance of course has not improved over the past several years
Significant improvements
Even though it's dormant and still winter you will notice that the greens are much improved. It's a work in progress but can't wait for a warm spring to green everything. The staff is great and the prices for play and for food and beverage are better than anywhere else around. And you are at the beach! Have fun.!
Great Layout
First time playing the muni at Jax Beach. Great layout with many challenging holes. Water in play quite a bit but fair as straighter shots are rewarded. Great value for the money
