With more than a dozen courses within 15 miles, and a dozen more within 30 miles, the Jacksonville, Florida area is a rich, diverse area for golf. While not as well regarded as its Florida cousins like Miami and Tampa Bay, there's still plenty of quality courses to challenge even the most skilled golfers. Jacksonville is also home to a beautiful stretch of sand known as Jacksonville Beach. There are a handful of quality hotels to choose from that offer direct beach access.
Fairfield Inn & Suites Jacksonville Beach
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Jacksonville Beach is located just 100 yards off the sand and offers a hot, free breakfast featuring Jimmy Dean Sandwiches. The rooms have a well-lit area for work in case you're not the beach type. There's free cable with HBO and free local phone calls. The hotel also has an oceanfront pool and two bars located on the premises. Several quality restaurants are located within five miles of the hotel.
