Established in 1954, Jacksonville Country Club provides a tremendous George Cobb design located in Onslow County, that can challenge golfers of all skill levels. Jacksonville CC was one of Cobb’s earliest golf course design projects, and still holds up to the modern game. 

Jimmy Anderson was the head golf professional at Jacksonville Country Club for over 25 years.  Each Saturday morning, he conducted a junior golf clinic to help spread the game of golf to the next generation.  During his tenure at Jacksonville CC, he taught many juniors including Mallory Miller, the 1987 N.C. Junior Champion and numerous future collegiate and golf professionals. Not only did he teach the game of golf, but was always there with a helpful word of encouragement to any young golfer.
