Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 03/2019.

The Country Club of Orange Park provides a scenic challenge with a diverse landscape of protected wetlands and towering oak trees. There is also a bird sanctuary that runs along the entire right side of the first five holes, offering golfers a glimpse of the wildlife that inhabit the golf course including wild turkeys, deer, and osprey. The layout features tree-lined fairways and large greens. The golf course has a more traditional feel with tees and fairways that were cut close to the greens, resulting in a narrow field of play. There is water on 14 holes and bunkers strategically placed around the greens.

Condition of course was poor.

We played this course five years ago and it was in fantastic shape. The layout is still wonderful but the condition of the course is poor. It has not been kept up and needs a lot of work and TLC. I understand the course is up for sale but it is a shame they are not keeping it in the condition it use to be in. There were no greens. Only weeds. The fairways all had standing water and were soaked and very muddy. It was very sad. This use to be a beautiful course.

This course should be shut down

This course should be shut down. The greens had no grass and was all weeds. Was like putting in the rough. They should be embarrassed to take your money for a round.

Greens were bad.

The course has a good layout, but the greens were unputtable. Not in good shape at all. The rest of the course was fine.

Great staff!! Poor course...

I've played this course many times over the years. This last round was the worst I've ever seen it. The greens are gone... weed patches and sand are taking them over. On the other hand, the staff are always great! Always enjoy chatting with the guys in the pro shop and the starter. But the pro shop was literally empty... no merchandise to speak of which tells me something is amiss with this club and it may be turning over soon.

True to site

The fairways were in excellent shape. Long hitters bring the sand traps into play. The greens were at a 14 / 12 speeds, but rolled true. Worth the price.

Ugh

Very disappointed. Course is in dire straits. Really enjoy the layout and have played here over the years. Obviously something is wrong. Greens are horrendous. Fairways are muddy and unkempt. A very discouraging experience. Bunks
Would suggest wait until spring/ summer to play.

Take care of this course or close it

It doesn't really matter to the owners to take care of this course apparently. I could have saved my money and played golf along the ditches in my neighborhood. Greens were pitiful. No grass to speak of. The joke of the day was the pro shop guy saying that it was cart path only. Seriously doubt if driving the cart in the fairway would have hurt anything. And he said the maintenance guy was cutting the holes on the green and placing the flags. Those cups have been there longer than a few days. And the bunkers. What is funny is that I needed my water ball retriever to get my ball out. They were all hard and filled with water. What a shame. May as well bulldoze the place and build more houses.

Lousy round

This course should NOT have been open for play. This was the wettest, sloppiest course I’ve ever played in. Apparently doesn’t drain at all, as the rain was two days prior.

Excellent layout

This course has excellent layout and meanders through the woods and waters truly well-designed manner. That's what makes it so disappointing, that the deferred maintenance makes a course barely playable. From what I understand, the course has been sold and is being sold again all within the space of a year or so. It's a shame because the course design is really outstanding for Florida meandering through beautiful wooded and watered grounds.

Drainage seems to be a real problem, with water and unplayable lies everywhere. I presume the underground drainage system is a problem, probably from the age of the course and lack of maintenance. It could be an outstanding course with the right maintenance and investment.
