Magnolia Point at Magnolia Point Golf & Country Club

Magnolia Point Golf & Country Club sits along the western shore of the St. Johns River in Green Cove Springs, roughly 25 miles south of Jacksonville in northeast Florida. The course was designed by Mark McCumber, a PGA Tour veteran who grew up in Florida and turned to course architecture after his playing career. McCumber's design work throughout the state reflects his understanding of Florida's terrain and playing conditions, and Magnolia Point demonstrates his approach to routing golf holes through the region's characteristic lowland landscape.

The property features a mix of terrain that includes river views, wetland areas, and stands of mature trees. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes that are modest but meaningful by Florida standards, with several holes playing along higher ground that offers views across the St. Johns River. Water comes into play on multiple holes, both as natural wetlands and constructed features, requiring strategic decisions off the tee and on approach shots. The course layout accommodates different skill levels while presenting enough challenge to engage accomplished players.

Magnolia Point operates as a private club with golf as its central amenity. The community developed around the course includes residential properties, and the club serves both golf and social functions for its membership. The setting along the river provides a natural backdrop distinct from Florida's more heavily developed coastal areas, with the surrounding landscape retaining a quieter, more wooded character typical of this stretch of the St. Johns River valley.
