Private Golf Club Community in Jacksonville

Glen Kernan Club stands apart as a golf and country club in Jacksonville because it combines elevated amenities with a genuinely welcoming private club experience.

Our recent transformation brought new energy to every part of the member experience, from our redesigned clubhouse and chef-driven dining to our expanded golf, athletic, and wellness offerings. What sets us apart is not just the scale of our investment, but how intentionally we have shaped the atmosphere.

We want members to feel comfortable bringing family, entertaining guests, enjoying a great round, and settling in for an evening that feels relaxed rather than formal for formality’s sake.

Our setting in Jacksonville also adds to that experience. We are close to the beaches, major business corridors, and the heart of the city, yet once you arrive, the Club feels like a retreat. For those exploring a deeper connection to the Club, our membership options offer a closer look at the lifestyle, access, and community we are building every day.

Glen Kernan Club has undergone a significant transformation designed to honor the Club’s history while creating a more complete modern private club experience.

That includes a $32.8 million investment across the property, with enhancements to our clubhouse, golf experience, athletic amenities, dining environments, and the overall sense of arrival members feel when they spend time with us.

The goal was never to simply refresh appearances. We wanted to create a place that supports how people live, gather, play, and recharge today.

That vision can be felt across the property. Our golf course now stretches beyond 7,300 yards following a redesign by Jim Furyk, our practice facilities were enhanced with insight from Cameron Smith, and our athletic offerings support everything from personal training to recovery and family recreation.

At the same time, we have worked to preserve warmth and connection so the Club still feels personal. If you are planning a visit, our guest information can help you prepare before you arrive.

No. Golf is a major part of Glen Kernan Club, but the Club experience extends well beyond the course.

Many members join us because they want a private golf club lifestyle that includes exceptional dining, wellness amenities, racquet sports, social events, family programming, and a welcoming setting for friends and guests.

Our Athletic Center includes tennis, pickleball, a lap pool, recovery-focused services, and programming that supports a more active and balanced lifestyle well beyond the golf course.

We have intentionally created a club where different interests can coexist naturally. One member may spend the morning on the course, another may come for a training session and lunch, and another may join us for an evening gathering in the clubhouse.

That range is part of what makes Glen Kernan Club feel dynamic and current. If you want to explore overnight accommodations connected to the Club experience, our golf cottages offer another way to enjoy time with us.

The golf experience at Glen Kernan Club is designed to challenge accomplished players while still feeling inviting for members who simply love the game.

Our 18-hole championship layout has been redesigned to bring more strategy, more playability, and a stronger sense of visual drama throughout the round. With the course now measuring more than 7,300 yards, we offer a setup that can test elite players while remaining enjoyable through thoughtful tee options and practice support.

We have also invested in the spaces where improvement happens. Expanded short-game areas and illuminated practice greens create more flexibility for members who want to sharpen their game on their own schedule.

Just as important, the overall atmosphere supports the social side of golf in Jacksonville, whether that means an early round, a member event, or time spent with guests after play. Our goal is to make every part of the golf experience feel polished, memorable, and true to the Club’s standards.

Glen Kernan Club offers a full private club lifestyle with amenities that extend beyond the clubhouse and golf course.

Beyond golf and dining, we offer eight Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a lap pool, personal training, nutrition support, recovery treatments, and family-focused programming that helps members make the Club part of everyday life.

These amenities are meant to support both performance and enjoyment, whether you are prioritizing fitness, recreation, or quality time with the people around you.

Our clubhouse still serves as the social heart of the property, but the broader amenity mix is what gives the Club its depth. Members can move from a workout to lunch, from racquet play to dinner, or from a casual afternoon at the pool to an evening event without ever feeling like the experience is disjointed.

That sense of continuity is important to us because it reflects how modern members want to use a private club in Jacksonville.

Our team works to make that possible through attentive planning, strong food and beverage execution, and spaces that feel distinctive.

Having on-site lodging creates convenience for golf visits, social weekends, and event-related stays, while also extending the sense of retreat that defines the Glen Kernan experience. We know that comfort matters just as much after the round or event as it does during it.

Our cottages are designed to complement the broader Club atmosphere, giving guests a place to unwind while staying connected to everything happening on property.

For some, that means a more relaxed weekend around golf and dining. For others, it means making travel logistics easier when visiting family, attending an event, or exploring membership.

Glen Kernan Club is a strong fit for individuals and families who want more than access to amenities.

The people who connect with Glen Kernan Club tend to value quality, privacy, authenticity, and a real sense of community. Some are passionate golfers. Others are drawn to dining, wellness offerings, racquet sports, social life, or the ability to entertain and connect in a setting that feels distinctively Jacksonville.

What they share is an appreciation for a club environment that feels elevated without feeling distant.

Because membership is intentionally limited, the experience remains personal and community-driven. We want people to feel that they belong here, not that they are entering a space built around exclusivity for its own sake.

If that sounds like what you are looking for, we invite you to explore our private golf club membership offerings or schedule a personal tour to experience Glen Kernan Club for yourself.
