My son and I played this course today for the first time and found it to be in excellent condition. Lots of water hazards....made the course more interesting and FUN! Rick the starter is a GREAT guy who gave us some tips about the course before heading out. Very seldom do I give five stars, this course and staff rate them. We will return in the very near future. Just for info...the 14th fairway was under repair but it didn't bother us at all. Considering a lot of courses we have played in the last month - this course was our favorite. The trip from Tampa Fl to St Augustine Fl was well worth the trip. Son and family is on a short vacation in the area, that's why I went to play. Reviews on line about this course was right on point!!!

Canadian visiting family in Ponte Vedra; played TPC in 2018 & was paired with a gent/Billy who was Proshop/club repair at Hyde Park; he recommended the course....finally made it over; well worth the drive. Course is classic Ross with inverted bowl greens, very nice. The owners have been improving over the past few years; a joy to play. Staff very accommodating. Highly recommend; great value @ $26 incl cart. And....if you are a Skynyrd fan; the VanZant house (Ronnie,Donnie,Johnny) is nearby. Free Bird flies over daily.

Julington Creek Golf Club is in good shape, the staff is working hard to keep it that way. Greens are not overly fast but they are rolling good. Fairways are good. Challenging but fun course to play.

Blue Sky Golf Club recently underwent 1.5 million+ dollars in renovations to the clubhouse and golf course. We feature a driving range with night practice capabilities; plenty of fun including billiards, corn hole, and more than 20 flat screen TVs; a full-service restaurant; and 3-hole, 6-hole, 9-hole, and 18-hole golf options. We have no dress code and believe in a more relaxed golf atmosphere.
10. Valley Course
A golf course similar to the Stadium Course, but the greens are longer and flatter.
