Looks like I will be in for a trip to the Jacksonville area this summer in August.

Is there any course recommendations to play? What is weather like in August?

I figure it will be HOT!!

i heard there's a decent track a little south of Jacksonville in Ponte Vedra...i think it's called Axgrass or Sawlawn...wait, sawgrass, that's it.

you should be able to get on pretty cheap (relatively speaking of course) in the summer months. another half-hour down 95 takes you to the world golf village, and going back north on 95 from jacksonville offers up Amelia Island. obviously these are some pretty nice tracks and I don't know your budget, but if you're looking to do it up nice you're in the right place...

Well after being away for a few days, Thanks for the replies.

My budget is moderate, so nothing too expensive and nothing too cheap.

I guess middle of the road.

Man I hate humidity, that is why I moved to Colorado.

I really appreciate the suggestions. It looks like now we will be heading that way
the first or second week of September. We are waiting on the birth of a
grand child.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
