Queen's Harbour Yacht and Country Club sits along the Intracoastal Waterway in Jacksonville, Florida, where the course designed by Mark McCumber opened in the late 1980s. McCumber, a PGA Tour player who won ten times during his career and later transitioned to course design, created a layout that reflects the coastal northern Florida landscape with its mix of wetlands, native vegetation, and water features. The routing takes advantage of the property's waterfront setting, with several holes playing along or near the Intracoastal, incorporating the tidal marshes and maritime environment into the strategic design. The course features the characteristic elements of Florida golf from this era: generous fairway corridors balanced by water hazards on multiple holes, strategically placed bunkers, and greens that require careful approach play. The flat to gently rolling terrain is typical of the region, with elevation changes created through mounding and the natural drainage patterns of the coastal plain. McCumber's design emphasizes shot placement over pure length, rewarding golfers who can navigate the water hazards and position themselves for favorable angles into the greens. Queen's Harbour functions as a private club with both golf and yachting amenities, serving the residential community that developed around the course. The club maintains a family-oriented atmosphere common to yacht and country club combinations in Florida's coastal markets. The course provides a solid test of golf within the context of a residential setting, with the Intracoastal Waterway views adding scenic interest to the round.
