Selva Marina Country Club near Jacksonville: One last look before a new era
ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla. -- Selva Marina Country Club, which opened in 1958, has a long, rich history.
It was once the site of the Greater Jacksonville Open, precursor to the Players Championship, and has seen its share of great players, including Jack Nicklaus, who made a double eagle on the par-5 18th.
Now, it will get a new look.
The club's members sold part of the property to a developer, which is resulting in a $10 million renovation that will include a makeover of the course and a new clubhouse.
In the meantime, the golf course is open to public play, and at more than 7,000 yards, it's still a good test. With sand on almost every hole and water on the majority of holes, the course has a slope/rating of 73.9/131 from the back tees.
