Where can I find the Links and Nichols Park Golf Courses?

The Links Golf Course is located in Nichols Park.  The park is in the Southeast corner of Jacksonville/South Jacksonville.  Once you enter the main entrance of the park follow Holkenbrink Road around the pavilion and over the lakes.  Just pass the maintenance garage and  playground equipment you should see the sign for the Links and the tournament.  Both of our courses share a clubhouse, concession area, and parking lot.

Why can't the tourney honor special requests for tee times?

The Tourney is not able to honor special tee time requests. We follow a set schedule including arranging for walkers and other helpers.  In addition, players are paired with kids their own age and ability.  For this reason, requests can not be honored.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
