Golf in Jacksonville, Florida very under-rated

Jacksonville, Florida is a very under-rated golf destination. For the life of me, I can’t understand why it hasn’t achieved the status of a Myrtle Beach. It has nearly as many golf courses, is much easier to get to by car, and there’s more to do off the golf courses.

It has some problems – there aren’t many core golf experiences – courses with no homes – because developers own northeast Florida and it is very spread out and hard to get around in the traffic – but the variety of courses is impressive. Look for more stories on Jax golf coming soon…

Are you on crack cocaine? There is absolutely no way in hell Jacksonville can ever hope to rival Myrtle Beach as a golf destination. You are correct that JAX does not have many courses without homes on them. You forgot to mention that they were all nursing homes! And as far as JAX having "nearly as many courses". I clicked on your own course link and counted 16 courses. Myrtle Beach has that many just off of HWY 501! Let's get real!

The Jacksonville area has well over 80 courses, some of them top-notch like TPC Sawgrass, North Hampton, Pablo Creek and Ocean Hammock. The best courses in Jacksonville are on a par or better than the best courses in Myrtle bech.

Royce,

"Very unique" is a charitable description of those songs. Utter shit is more accurate.
