A Guide to a Guys Weekend Golf Trip in Northeast Florida

From bachelor parties to a weekend golf trip with your best pals, Northeast Florida sets the scene for unforgettable moments with the guys.

If you’re looking for golf trip ideas for a guys weekend, there’s nothing better than spending a three-day road trip and vacation in the same region where THE PLAYERS Championship is held. Here, rich golf territory stretches across Jacksonville, Palm Coast, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, Amelia Island, and Clay County. Premier coastal golf resorts, top-class breweries, expert-led golf academies are just some of the highlights that you can expect during your guys weekend.

Friday: Jacksonville

Check into a comfortable accommodation in Jacksonville and then stock up on golf essentials at the PGA TOUR Superstore, where clubs, footwear, accessories, and interactive simulators are just a few of the offerings at the store. If you’re feeling a bit rusty on the basics, register for a private lesson at the PGA TOUR Superstore before visiting a course. Grab lunch and book a bay at Fore Score Golf, Jacksonville’s premier golf simulator sports bar and restaurant. After practicing with golf simulators, enjoy a short-and-sweet course like “Little Blue” at the Blue Cypress Golf Club after a day of traveling. Top it off with bar fare and craft brews one of Jacksonville’s 25 locally owned breweries.

Saturday: Palm Coast

The drive from Jacksonville to Palm Coast is roughly an hour, but it is so worth it. Enjoy the most important meal of the day by finding a breakfast spot in Palm Coast. Then drive to the Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa for breathtaking ocean views on the green, and after playing both Ocean and Conservatory courses, relax those stiff muscles from golf by finding massage treatments for everyone at the onsite wellness spa. The ideal spot to kick back with a beer or cocktail and watch the game is Hammock Beach's Loggerheads Sports Pub.

Sunday: St. Augustine & Ponte Vedra Beach

Take the one-hour drive from Palm Coast to Ponte Vedra Beach for a day of pickleball, tennis, and, of course, golf. The Yards Golf Club is a sprawling sports and entertainment hub, where you can play all three sports with your best buddies in one day. For a leisurely break, check out the Historic Coast’s vibrant culinary scene, and enjoy a trolley tour across St. Augustine’s historic sites, featuring the Colonial Quarter and Castillo de San Marcos. Make a toast to your friendship at the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Restaurant with a side of crispy potato golf balls and loaded nachos. Call it a night at the adult only property, The Collector Luxury Inn & Gardens near vibrant historic downtown, or Renaissance World Golf Village Resort.
