Julington Creek Country Club

The layout is varied and interesting. The course is in great shape. The fairways and the greens are plush, but the greens were slow as molasses. You had to really hit the ball to get it to the hole.

Disappointing

Very average course. Greens were painfully slow. Fairways are wide and generous. Cart paths need work or add shock absorbers to the carts.

Great layout. Terrible greens. Terrible place of play.

I'll keep it short and to the point. Great layout. Greens might have been the slowest I've ever putted on. Ever. Maybe rolled a 2. 5 hour round. I like the golf course, but people pay money for good greens. This place didn't have it.

6 Hour Round

Tee time was pushed back 30+ minutes due to congestion on the course, I guess. Had to warm up on hitting mats which are in pretty bad shape. Waiting on every shot for the group a head of us, who was waiting on the group a head of them made for a long, miserable golfing experience. The course was surprisingly wet like they left the irrigation on all night. The cart girl needs to have her attitude checked as well. Not a great first impression when arriving at the course. Starter and pro-shop attendants were very friendly really only plus.

Anxious to play it again - great condition

Contrary to reports that the course was in very poor condition a couple of years ago, it was in great shape - green fairways and excellent greens for the most part. They had not been cut and were a little slow after the previous night's rain. Better than Fleming Island or Magnolia ... will go back asap!

A fun and very playable course

Course was in really good shape for February. Course is open for the average golfer but enough of a challenge for the above average golfer.

Winter Golf

Had an enjoyable round at the Champions Club. The course was in very good shape, no standing water, or areas needing work. The greens were firm and rolled very true. This was a good challenge for the average handicapper. I would be up for playing this course again.

Not a good experience

Made a tee time and they did not honor because the group that had the same tee time came with additional people so no practice time ( had to return bucket of balls ). Carts NEED brakes. The hospitality was horrible, cart people were to busy talking to clean our clubs or even acknowlege us when we finished.
Employees here need to go to a golf course and learn how to operate properly.

Great day out with friends

We were "welcomed" by a young lady who was very pushy about taking our clubs to the cart and only on the 3rd time did she relent. After that we were promptly checked in and given our ticket. We were paired up with another twosome and we had a very enjoyable 18 holes. We let 2 groups of two play through to allow them to progress through. The greens were slightly slow but they were beautiful and green! Overall for the money I can't say anything bad. The only knock would be the maintenance of the carts. Both my cart and the cart for our pairing had bad parking brakes which created a safety issue on some of the holes. I notified the staff and they were aware of the issue...

Looking good!

The course is in very good condition; greens and fairways are particularly nice. The pace of play, which can be slow on certain days, was excellent on the Friday morning I played. Big thumbs up all around.
