Best Jacksonville Courses For 10+ Handicappers

Jacksonville, Florida, is one of the more underrated destinations for golfers. The area is home to dozens of courses, and many of the courses are outstanding for high-handicap golfers who may still be working to improve their games. The courses generally have quite a few water hazards, but the fairways are lush.

Cimarrone Golf and Country Club

The Cimarrone Golf and Country Club in Jacksonville is a 6,821-yard course that asks golfers to keep the ball straight. You don't have to be exceptionally long on this par-72 course, but you should keep the ball in the fairway because there are a high number of water hazards. The fairways are inviting and the greens are fair.

San Jose Country Club

The San Jose Country Club in Jacksonville is a 6,921-yard, par-72 course designed by Donald Ross. This is a strikingly beautiful course featuring flowers, bushes and other eye-catching vegetation. Golfers who keep the ball straight will be rewarded with relatively easy approach shots.

Windsor Parke Golf Club

The Windsor Parke Golf Club in Jacksonville is a great course for high handicappers and beginners. This public course is in excellent shape and features very wide fairways that forgive less-than-perfect shots. While there are water hazards and bunkers, the 6,765-yard, par-72 course is not overrun with them.
