Queen's Harbour Yacht & Country Club

Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club is a championship golf course set within a gated community in Jacksonville, Florida. It is located close to the city's beaches and just 15 miles north of the TPC Sawgrass. Locals and traveling golfers rave about this stunning layout that course designer Mark McCumber carved through native woodlands. The Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club playing field winds around a freshwater lagoon system and tidal marsh beside the Intracoastal Waterway. Beautiful views, highlighted by majestic ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss and the marsh, abound. Since opening in 1991, Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club has amassed an impressive tournament history, as it has hosted PGA Tour qualifiers and numerous prestigious collegiate championships. McCumber s varied layout offers a mix of straightaway and dogleg holes that bend left and right. Water enters the fray on all but the very first hole. The layout s quartet of par 3s, beginning with the all-carry 3rd over a lake, is especially rousing. Numerous holes present risk-reward options, and when water is less of a threat overhanging tree limbs and the woods present chief threats to par. Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club greens are somewhat small and generally roll at a good clip. Five sets of tees (plus two hybrid options) stretch the routing from 5,073 yards to 6,983 yards. Thanks to lengthy forced carries, Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club is very challenging from the back tees, but the course is fun and manageable for all players who select an appropriate set of markers. You ll have to be accurate to avoid losing a lot of balls. The back nine at Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club, with its stretch near the Intracoastal Waterway, is quite memorable. Practice facilities include a driving range, a sand bunker, and chipping and putting greens. The clubhouse is home to the pro shop and a restaurant with gorgeous golf course and marina views. Queen s Harbour Yacht & Country Club is an enjoyable tee time option in Northeast Florida that provides great bang for your buck.
