Julington Creek Golf Club

Voted the Best Public Golf Course in Northeast Florida by News4JAX — and a 2025 JaxBest winner in the same category — Julington Creek Golf Club in Fruit Cove, Florida has a clear local reputation to match. The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to 6,860 yards from the tips. Hole 8 is a par-5 straightaway at 529 yards where an aggressive line is on the table, though the safer route runs down the left. Hole 18 closes things out as a 431-yard par 4 ranked the sixth-hardest on the course — club up when the pin is back. Rated 4.2 by 50+ Hole19 golfers, it ranks as one of the most-played courses in Florida on Hole19. The public course is open to all. A putting green mirrors on-course speeds, and golf lessons are available through Peak Performance Golf, with fitness training through Peak Fitness and Performance. The clubhouse includes a snack-style restaurant with a full bar, quick service, and rotating specials, plus a golf shop with merchandise and member savings, locker and bag storage, and covered patio seating with course views.
