Jacksonville Golf Courses Designed by Legends

Also known as “The River City,” Jacksonville is home to the PGA Tour and World Golf Hall of Fame. The PGA Tour even makes an annual stop there during May for the The Players Championship. So, it shouldn't be too surprising that Jacksonville offers some of the best golf courses in the world. In fact, the golf vacation specialists at Golf Zoo have exclusive Jacksonville golf packages to dozens of tour-caliber courses designed by legends such as Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Pete Dye, Arnold Palmer and Mark McCumber. From stunning beaches to the downtown renaissance, there are also plenty of other exciting activities in and around “Jax.” But, the weather is always ideal for golf, and you can book golf packages that offer challenges for players of every skill level, ranging from top oceanside resorts to popular public courses.
