St. Johns County Golf Club sits in Elkton, a small community in northeast Florida roughly twenty miles south of Jacksonville and a few miles inland from the Atlantic coast. The course was designed by Robert Walker, a regional architect who worked primarily in Florida during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The property occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of the state, with modest elevation changes that provide natural drainage and some variety in playing angles. The routing takes advantage of native pine and palmetto vegetation that frames many holes, creating definition without excessive tree-lined corridors. Several holes incorporate wetland areas and small ponds that come into play on approach shots, typical of northeast Florida golf design where water management is both a practical necessity and a strategic element. The layout offers a straightforward test suitable for a range of skill levels, with width off the tee balanced by greens that require accurate iron play. St. Johns County Golf Club operates as a public facility serving both local residents and visitors exploring the golf options between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The course provides an accessible option in a region dense with golf courses, from historic layouts near the coast to newer resort developments. The setting reflects the quiet, rural character of inland St. Johns County, away from the more heavily trafficked tourist corridors closer to the beach.
