Brentwood Golf Course
Brentwood Golf Course offers a welcoming 9-hole municipal layout in Jacksonville, Florida, that balances approachable play with genuine Florida golf charm. Well-maintained greens, useful practice facilities, and affordable rates make it an accessible spot for beginners and casual golfers alike.
Course Overview
Brentwood Golf Course in Jacksonville, Florida, offers a refreshing departure from the metropolitan bustle with its intimate 9-hole layout that blends approachable challenge with unpretentious charm. This municipal course is favored by beginner to mid-level players seeking to refine their game or enjoy a casual round without the pressure of pristine conditions or high green fees. The course’s terrain is modest yet thoughtfully designed, weaving through tree-lined fairways and opening onto well-maintained greens that reward accurate iron play and calm putting strokes.
Set on a compact footprint, Brentwood challenges golfers to balance precision and patience. Several holes present interesting angles to the flag, while natural vegetation and bunkers stand ready to test strategic decision-making. Though the fairways and greens may not gleam with the manicured perfection found at premier resorts, their condition, particularly after recent upkeep efforts, stands respectable with greens that often receive praise for their smoothness and roll.
The practice facilities enhance the overall experience with a driving range and a practical two-hole short game area perfect for warming up or sharpening approach shots. These features make Brentwood an ideal venue for players eager to work on their short game in a low-pressure setting.
Visitors planning a round should consider playing early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid Florida’s intense midday heat. Walking is popular here, supported by a generally flat course and a tranquil setting conducive to a relaxed pace and good exercise. Although golf carts are available, many players appreciate the chance to absorb the quiet ambiance by foot.
The clubhouse staff further contribute to Brentwood’s inviting atmosphere with friendly service that reflects the community’s welcoming spirit. Pricing remains accessible, making it a practical choice for regular play. While some areas could benefit from clearer signage, the course remains a solid option for casual golfers, newcomers, or those simply seeking the satisfaction of a round in Florida’s mild climate.

If you’re in the Jacksonville, Florida, area and you’re not seeking a course with perfectly manicured grass and an immaculate appearance, this is definitely the spot for you. The driving range is solid, and there’s also a two-hole practice area that, based on other reviews, is worth checking out. I saw a player chipping toward a flag; clearly, they were familiar with the course, and I chose not to interrupt their practice and didn't ask any staff member about the area either. The chipping area is well-used, and the putting green is quite decent. The course offers a nice layout that’s enjoyable to play, but if you’re after pristine greens and fairways akin to Pebble Beach, this isn’t the place for you. This 9-hole course is perfect for below-average players or anyone with a handicap of 10 or higher. This is just my opinion. I saw people there who looked like they were on a college or university team. Avoid playing between 11:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. if you cannot handle the heat. Pricing is reasonable: small range balls are $12, large range balls are $17, and walking 9 holes is $17.20. I haven’t tackled 18 holes yet, but that would mean playing the course twice. Play can get slow at times. If you’re looking for a place to play and improve your game or want to say you played a round in Florida, this is absolutely the place for you. Let me not forget the staff... They are easygoing, friendly brothers and sisters. 😉

I love seeing more people coming here to walk on the weekend. Plus with all the rain there's been some very nice changes to the course and the overall view! Guys great job! The course has come a long way from what it used to be several years ago. The greens are significantly better. For 10 bucks to walk 9 holes you really can't beat that. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, and a calm walk while playing the game you love. Definitely will be coming over more often after work when the wife lets me. I recommend to fix the tee boxes with labels when you guys get an opportunity is my only negative/constructive criticism

I had not played Brentwood in about two years and I don’t exactly remember the course condition but let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised last week. It’s a small municipal course but the greens are in excellent shape! I have played many different courses this season throughout Jax and the greens here are better than most. It’s still a small short course, but it’s super fun. Shoutout to the staff, great work. You cannot beat it for the price. I go paired of with a cool fell named John as well, if you see this it was a pleasure playing together!

A very beautiful and senic course! It's only 9 holes but several will challenge you. The clubhouse staff was very nice. I wish they had cart girl to come around with drinks but they do have cold drinks for sale in the clubhouse. I definitely look forward to visiting and playing here again soon!

Love the convenience of the course. The guy in the clubhouse has been rude all 4 times we have come. EVERYTIME IT'S A DIFFERENT PRICE! We always come on a weekday at 10am. Last time we had 2 "cart" charges for 1 cart. When I asked about it he said "DO YOU WANNA WALK? NO? OKAY THEN. Not professional whatsoever! Someone else should be talking to the customers and prices should be listed and clear. Not a very good grumpy old man to be running the clubhouse.
