What are golf cottages at a private club?

At Glen Kernan Club, our cottages give members, invited guests, and eligible corporate or national access partners a comfortable place to stay within the club environment.
That means the experience is not only about having a room nearby. It is about being close to the golf course, clubhouse, dining, Athletic Park, pool, and the everyday rhythm of the club. Our Jacksonville golf cottages are intended for guests who value privacy, convenience, and a setting that feels connected to the full Glen Kernan experience.
Instead of driving back to a hotel after dinner, a round of golf, or a client gathering, guests can stay within our gated community and enjoy the ease of being steps from many of the amenities that make a visit feel memorable.
