I still make it to Jax a fair amount but when I do it's usually in the summer and I'm looking for beach time, not 90 degree days on the golf course.  Before I left town though I usually played Windsor Parke because it was cheap and close.  Would drive down to the world golf village if I found a good rate.  Typically though my assessment of a course really depended on well it was maintained.  And ultimately all I really care about are the greens.  Keep them in good shape and I'm pretty happy.  I dont care if the teebox is a sand pit or if the rough is a jungle.  And honestly not many places in Jacksonville keep the greens in great shape.  Windsor Parke usually had crap greens.  Oak Bridge crap.  Jax Beach is obviously not great.  The Hampden courses were always hit or miss.  St Johns GCG was usually in decent shape when I played so Ill give them credit.  WGV courses are usually pretty good from what I remember.  I've only played Osprey Cove a few times but each time the course was in great shape but that could have just been dumb luck with timing (someone was telling me it is private now).  A few of the courses in Amelia I've played once and those were in good shape when I played.  Ponte Vedra Ocean course was usually maintained pretty well.  

I just dont play much down there now.  And when I do I usually try to sneak on to Sawgrass if I can pull a few strings and not get gouged.
