You haven't been in Jacksonville that long when someone asks, "Do you golf?" It comes out more like a rhetorical question: "You do golf, don't you?"

With nearly 50 courses surrounding Jacksonville and a year-round climate that encourages any and all sorts of outdoor activity, it is hard not to golf here. And so you arrange a foursome for the next day at his club.

Another person else asks if you'd like to join her for a cruise up the St. Johns River on their boat. The sunsets and downtown skyline are fantastic from the water.
