The Glen Kernan neighborhood is one of the few places left in Jacksonville where you can still buy a new-construction homesite inside an established, gated golf community.
Development here started around 1999, so most of what sells in Glen Kernan is resale — but a limited number of custom estate homesites are still being released through The PARC Group, which means buyers get an unusual choice: a mature, landscaped resale on a proven street, or a from-scratch custom build on one of the last available lots. Both paths lead to the same gated community, with its private 18-hole course (redesigned by Jim Furyk), renovated clubhouse, and grounds just off the Intracoastal.
One thing I clear up for almost every buyer: you don't have to join the golf club to live in Glen Kernan. Club membership is separate and optional, run through Glen Kernan Golf Club directly — homeownership and club membership are two different decisions. The neighborhood itself is governed by its own HOA, which covers the gates, common grounds, and private roads.
