Check Out These Public Golf Courses Near Jacksonville Beach

During your next visit to Jacksonville Beach, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors. Of course, you can spend time on the beach itself, but you can also enjoy checking out local parks and nature preserves or simply strolling down the street to window shop or check out the most popular restaurants. However, if you want to stay active while enjoying the great outdoors, why not work on your golf game? There are all kinds of great Jacksonville Beach golf courses you can play at while you’re here, and many of the best ones are public! Here are a few of our favorite spots in the area.

Jax Beach Golf Club

Jax Beach Golf Club has long been one of the most popular golf courses in the area for visitors and residents alike. The course used to be private and once consisted of only nine holes, but when the City of Jacksonville Beach purchased the club, they expanded it to 18 holes. The club and course were extensively renovated starting in January 2018 and now offer one of the most impressive facilities in the area. 

The course was designed by Harrison Minchew and promises a challenging yet exciting experience for all skill levels. Not only is the landscaping beautiful to look at, but it also offers a unique perspective as you play through the 18 holes. When you’re done, you can head to the Pro Shop to pick out some new attire or gear, or you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant. 

Public rates range from $20 to $58.
