My Golf Vacation

Set deep in a forest of towering pine trees just south of Jacksonville, the 18-hole layout at Eagle Harbor Golf Club unfolds across undulating terrain and meandering water features that give the course both a serene ambience and strategic depth. Designed by Clyde B. Johnston, the course stretches to 6,840 yards from the back tees with a par of 72, and is cradled by majestic 60-foot pines, Bermuda-grass fairways, multi-tiered TifEagle greens, and a mix of grass and white sugar-sand bunkers.

Water comes into play on many holes, and one of the signature features is a floating island green that captures the essence of Florida course design—striking yet fair, with a clear visual cue that this is a special round. The fairways are generally generous, but lined with trees and influenced by the natural rolling land, making shot placement essential. With multiple tee boxes, the course adapts well to different skill levels, offering both a challenge and a fair chance for players of all strengths.
