Architect Clyde Johnston built just enough unique features on Eagle Landing at Oakleaf Plantation to stand out among the best golf courses on the south side of Jacksonville, Florida.

There are plenty of places to lose a ball at Cimarrone Golf Club, located along the southern border of Jacksonville, just 10 minutes from the World Golf Village. All 18 holes feature water or wetland of some type. Still, architect David Postlethwait took what the Florida swamp gave him and did his best to make Cimarrone more forgiving than its tough-guy image implies. There are few forced carries, and with five sets of tees, players can move up if things start to go sour.

Grand Cypress is one of the most family-friendly resorts you'll find, so the non-golfers in the family will have plenty to do.

Serenoa Golf Club isn't the longest golf course in Sarasota, but it might 'play' the longest. Designer Mark Alden decided to bring water into play on every hole and make it a shotmaker's course, giving the 6,333-yard layout the feel of a 7,000-yard design. Serenoa isn't your typical Florida golf course, Jeff Berlinicke writes.

Brooksville Country Club might be a little off the beaten path, but with its rolling fairways and elevations, it is unique to typical Florida golf.
