Jacksonville, Florida Golf Courses

Think about Golf Legends and who comes to mind? Well, you are definitely going to think about Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Go back in time to an earlier era and Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen may come to mind. And, how about the chance to play the Official Courses of the World Golf Hall of Fame? The golf courses at World Golf Village have it all.

The first course, Slammer and Squire opened in 1998. It was designed by Bobby Weed with Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen as consultants. The King and Bear golf course, named for its co-designers, is the first and only collaborative design by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.

Amelia River, renowned as one of the best conditioned courses in north Florida, continues to feature public and private play on its Tom Jackson-designed links-style layout. This Amelia Island gem, first opened in 2001, is one of the few in the area featuring TifEagle greens which offer smoother surfaces for challenging the golfers short game. Add to that the wide-open putting green - and the spacious practice range -both of which allow golfers to be at their best after warming up for a round of golf.

In the spring and summer of 2009, Amelia River is implementing an attractive price structure to allow golfers of all ages and abilities the experience of Amelia River Golf Club. In April 2009, golfers can play for $100 per person, per round, when booking a foursome, including cart, range and range balls. May through September 2009, golfers can book a foursome and pay only $65 per person, per round, including cart, range and range balls.

An unmatched oceanfront experience.

There are a handful of golf experiences that offer oceanfront holes, but very few that include more than 1,000 yards of beachfront golf. There are even fewer golf experiences that include ocean views from every suite of a world-class resort. There is however only one golf experience on the Atlantic Coast that also offers two very different and unique Tour-quality courses and an unlimited number of customizable options to make that experience truly one-of-a-kind.

Hammock Beach Resort, located just south of historic St. Augustine along 2-1/2 miles of pristine Atlantic Oceanfront in Palm Coast, invites you to “Dream Bigger” for your next golf getaway. As they like to say, if you can dream it, their professional planners can create it, whether it be with your regular foursome, a business conference, your vacation golf group or just your spouse or family. They’ve got the expertise, the imagination and the amenities to create your ultimate golf vacation, no matter the length of time or number of people involved.
