Why
Jacksonville? That's a great question. But it is also an
easy question to answer.
Jacksonville and the surrounding areas offer golfers a
picturesque setting for playing a round with the guys. But you will also find a
plethora of other things to do while you are here. From the beautiful waterfront
to an abundance of restaurants, shops and local entertainment, Jacksonville
offers it all. And it is just across the boarder from Georgia, so there is no
need to drive all the way to the tip of the state to play great golf.
Still not convinced, then consider this:
