Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Jacksonville International Airport (JAX), roughly forty minutes north, before heading south along Interstate 95 and crossing into the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the continental United States. The drive transitions from interstate efficiency to the slower, sun-dappled rhythms of coastal Florida, with glimpses of tidal marshes and live oaks draped in Spanish moss signaling your approach to St. Augustine. St. Augustine Shores Golf Club sits just south of the historic downtown district, tucked into a quiet residential enclave where the Atlantic's influence is felt in the salt air and the easy, unhurried pace of a community shaped by centuries of maritime tradition.
