Course Conditions

The overall condition of the course was good, although some of the tee boxes and fairways were a bit rough (divots). This is not necessarily the fault of the course. Lots of people just do not "fix" the damage they cause, by replacing divots or filling them in with sand. The greens were very good!!!!
I would definitely play this course again.

Course In Great Shape

The course is in great shape. The tee boxes and greens were in excellent condition. We finished our round in less than 4 hours. I had not played this course in over 7yrs because of reviews I read. I will definitely play this course again soon.

Solid Course, Great Price

Booked a golfnow Hot Deal. The course seems very reasonably priced as is, but with the Hot Deal it was clearly a steal.

Layout is fun and challenge. Course conditions are pristine! The pace was literally 4 hours on the dot and we we're a foursome. I'd definitely play here again.

Lousy sprinkler system

Very nice course, good condition but the sprinklers kept coming on or never turn off as you approached the greens. It made it very hard from green to green to figure out speed.

Course condition

I enjoy this course because it has all the tangible elements to force a golfer to play ball placement golf. It will challenge every aspect of your game. I seen a short "S" shape short par 5 that requires you to hit a power fade & a draw on the approach. A lot of the holes are very tight with trees, bunkers and out of bounce stacks are everywhere! The rough is thick , hard to control the bill out of it. The greens are pretty fast. I'll be back!!

What a surprise! Go check it out for yourself

After seeing BAD reviews for a long time I have decided to go see for myself. And was treated to a great round of golf. The greens were a little slow but had a Bunch of grass on them. No bare or dry spots. The Fairways were the FULLEST and had the most grass coverage than any course i have played in the Jacksonville Area. Great lies to hit your irons off of. So if you have not been to Julington in a while give it a try!!

Decent layout, slow greens

This could be an exceptional course if they lowered the blades on all the mowers. Slow fairways and even slower greens. If you are looking to practice your iron play this is a pretty solid course.

Iffy Condidtions

Greens and tees are in lousy shape.
The facility is very tired.

Father's Day Weekend

To be completely honest, I was disappointed with Julington Creek Golf Club.

Our 9:33 tee time started at 9:55.

Pace of play was terrible. When we got to par 5 8th, there were 4 groups on the hole. I called for Ranger assistance and we ended up being told to be patient. Never mind the groups spending 10 minutes looking for lost golf balls. It really rubbed me the wrong way.

The greens are in terrible condition. Tons of bare places and incredibly slow and sandy.

Decent driving range. Terrible putting green.

I won't be returning. Too many great golf courses in the area to waste my money there again. I wish I had chosen a different course to take my father for Father's Day.
