Timuquana Country Club



About this course
Timuquana Country Club occupies a wooded site along the St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. The course was originally designed by Donald Ross in 1923, making it one of the architect's southern works from his prolific period. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes—modest by Florida standards but meaningful for the region—and moves through corridors of mature live oaks, pines, and native vegetation. The river influences several holes along the layout's perimeter, providing both scenic backdrop and strategic interest. The course has undergone multiple renovations over its century of play. George Cobb worked on modifications in the mid-twentieth century, and more recently Bobby Weed and David Gordon have been involved in restoration and enhancement efforts aimed at recapturing Ross design principles while accommodating modern tournament standards and maintenance practices. These updates have addressed green complexes, bunkering, and drainage while respecting the original routing's character. Timuquana has served as a competitive venue in Florida golf, hosting state amateur championships and regional events. The club maintains a traditional private membership and operates as a family-oriented country club with golf as its centerpiece. The combination of Ross pedigree, mature landscaping, and riverfront setting gives the course a distinctive identity within Jacksonville's golf community, where the design's strategic demands reward thoughtful play over pure length.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Timuquana Country Club begin at Jacksonville International Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive to the southwest through the city's leafy Riverside and Ortega neighborhoods. The route follows the St. Johns River's western bank before turning inland, where Spanish moss-draped oaks and brick-paved streets signal the transition into one of Jacksonville's most established enclaves. Timuquana sits tucked along a quiet bend of the river, its understated entrance off Timuquana Road offering little fanfare - precisely as intended for a club that has quietly anchored this corner of North Florida since 1923.
