Golf Communities & Golf Course Homes in Jacksonville

Glen Kernan is Jacksonville's biggest club story in a generation. Bought from its founding family in 2024, the club just emerged from a $32.8M transformation: the course was completely redesigned by PGA Tour star (and resident) Jim Furyk — stretched past 7,300 yards, with practice facilities shaped with input from Open Champion Cameron Smith — plus a new clubhouse, wellness complex, dining, pool, and tennis. It reopened in 2025 as the city's first self-styled "boutique" private club.

Access is the point: full-golf membership is capped at 250, residents got first priority, and initiation reportedly runs near $100K — genuinely scarce, by design. The community itself is about 350 custom homes on 600 acres behind two manned gates, most 3,200–7,000+ sq ft on half-acre-plus lots, golf-cart friendly and minutes from Mayo Clinic and the Town Center. Actives typically run $1M–$3.5M.

Queens Harbour is the only community in Northeast Florida where you can keep a 100-foot yacht in fresh water behind your house and still reach the Atlantic — its 120-acre spring-fed lagoon connects to the Intracoastal through a private navigation lock, and freshwater moorage means dramatically less hull fouling than salt. The golf is serious too: a Mark McCumber 18 along the marsh and lagoon that has hosted PGA Tour Q-School stages, run by Invited as a private club with optional, invitation-based membership.

The homeowners association carries its own weight regardless of club status — eight lighted tennis courts, a junior-Olympic pool, fitness center, and sports fields behind the guard gate. Roughly a thousand homes mix golf-course, lagoon-front, and Intracoastal-view settings from about 1,800 to 12,000 sq ft; actives generally run from the $600s to $3.6M, with lagoon-front dock homes commanding the premium.

Deerwood is where gated Florida began — the state's first gated community, built by the Skinner family in 1960–61, whose land donations later drew Southside Blvd, JTB, and the UNF campus onto the map. Inside the gates it still feels like nowhere else in the city: about 900 homes on lots from under an acre to nearly twenty, heavily wooded, ranging from original ranches to full estates. The member-owned club has invested hard since 2022 — a 25,000 sq ft clubhouse, Har-Tru tennis, pickleball, and a resort aquatics center.

NUVIEW REALTY

The headline buyers need to know: the course (George Cobb 1961, Brian Silva 2004) closes in October 2026 for a complete Erik Larsen redesign, reopening October 2027 — with a new 6-hole par-3 short course opening first and reciprocal privileges at area clubs during the closure. For a buyer with a two-year horizon, that's a brand-new course arriving on someone else's assessment history. Actives run from condos in the $300s to estates around $1.3M.

Jacksonville Golf & Country Club has long been the value equation in Duval private golf: a member-owned club with a Clyde Johnston/Fuzzy Zoeller course (1989), a 26,000 sq ft clubhouse over the 9th and 18th greens, ten lighted clay courts, and an Olympic-size heated pool — with golf initiation reported around $15K, a fraction of its neighbors. Club and homeowners association are fully separate; the POA covers the gates, security, landscaping, and even a fiber network.

INI REALTY

Buyers weighing membership should ask about the club's "Blueprint for Tomorrow": a roughly $30M capital plan with a full course redesign by architect Andy Staples on the horizon, which is expected to reposition — and likely reprice — the club. The neighborhood is about 900 homes built 1987–2000 around 26 lakes and preserves behind the gate; actives mostly trade $500K–$1.5M, the attainable country-club life of the Hodges corridor.

Hidden Hills is Jacksonville golf's best history lesson and its most affordable fairway frontage. The course — built 1966–67 on some of the highest, most genuinely rolling ground in the city, redesigned by Arnold Palmer in 1986 — hosted the Greater Jacksonville Open from 1970–72, won by Don January, Gary Player, and Tony Jacklin, before that tournament evolved toward Sawgrass and became THE PLAYERS.

CB ISAAC REALTY

Today the club story is different: after the membership contraction of the late 2000s, the course and dining went public in 2017 — no membership attached to any home, an optional loyalty pass, and a daily-fee operation that has changed managers more than once. Buy the 1970s–90s brick homes on large fairway lots here for the space and the price — some of the cheapest golf-course views in the county — and underwrite the club's future conservatively.
