About Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club
Glen Kernan is one of Jacksonville's most exclusive gated communities — a private, invitation-only golf and country club situated on over 600 acres in the heart of Jacksonville's Southside.
With only 350 custom estate homes ever built on the entire property, Glen Kernan offers a level of privacy and exclusivity that's rare in Northeast Florida. Lots start at half an acre, homes range from 3,200 to over 7,000 square feet, and prices typically run from the high $600s to well over $2 million.
It's not just a neighborhood — it's a lifestyle.
Community Highlights
- 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course designed by Robert C. Walker — 260 acres with lake and preserve views
- Private, invitation-only club with a newly renovated Scottish-design clubhouse
- 80 acres of lakes throughout the community
- 80 acres of natural preserve providing privacy and green space
- Fully staffed fitness center and spa
- Swimming pool, tennis courts, volleyball, and ball fields
- Walking trails winding through the community

- Two gated entrances off Butler Boulevard (JTB) for easy access
Location & Lifestyle
Glen Kernan sits along Butler Boulevard between Hodges Blvd and Kernan Blvd in Jacksonville's 32224 zip code — one of the most sought-after corridors in the city.
From Glen Kernan, you're minutes from:
- Jacksonville Beaches — Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte Vedra
- Mayo Clinic — one of the top medical facilities in the country
- St. Johns Town Center — premier dining, shopping, and entertainment
- EverBank Stadium — home of the Jacksonville Jaguars
- Jacksonville Southside business district
- Intracoastal Waterway — right along the community's eastern edge

Whether you're a golfer, a professional, a family, or someone looking to build a custom dream home, Glen Kernan delivers a setting that's hard to match anywhere in Northeast Florida.
Glen Kernan Real Estate
Homes in Glen Kernan are custom estates — no two are alike. Typical features include:
- Spacious floor plans from 3,200 to 7,000+ square feet
- Gourmet kitchens, cathedral ceilings, and Palladian windows
- Private pools, outdoor kitchens, and guest houses
- Golf course and lake view lots
- Oversized lots of half an acre or more
- Custom architectural details throughout
Price range: High $600s to $2 million+, with select trophy estates trading above that.
Because inventory is so limited — only 350 homesites exist in the entire community — homes here don't sit long when priced correctly. Having a certified agent with community-specific knowledge matters.
What It Means to Be a Glen Kernan Certified Agent
Not every agent can effectively represent buyers and sellers in Glen Kernan. As a Glen Kernan Certified Agent, I've completed specialized training on this community — its pricing dynamics, unique amenities, club membership process, and what distinguishes one part of the neighborhood from another.
That means when you work with me, you're not starting from zero. You're working with someone who already knows:
- Which lots offer golf-to-water views
- How club membership works and what's included
- What drives value differences between homes at similar price points
- How to position a Glen Kernan listing to attract the right buyers
- What out-of-state and relocation buyers specifically look for in this community
I also bring the same discipline, responsiveness, and service-first approach I learned in 8.5 years with the Florida Army National Guard. When you have a question, I answer it — same day, every time.

- Club membership guidance: I'll walk you through the invitation-only club membership process

Selling a Home in Glen Kernan
Selling a Glen Kernan estate requires a different approach than selling a standard Jacksonville home. Buyers at this price point are sophisticated — they expect polished marketing, professional photography, and an agent who can speak knowledgeably about the community and lifestyle.
I offer:
- Professional photography and video tours
- Targeted digital marketing reaching Jacksonville luxury buyers and out-of-state relocators
- Pricing strategy based on current Glen Kernan market data, not neighborhood averages
- Network of qualified buyers actively searching in the $600K–$2M+ range
