Selva Marina hosted The Greater Jacksonville Open in 1965-66.

Known as Selva Marina Country Club for 55 years, the new owners purchased the property in January 2014 and they changed the name to Atlantic Beach Country Club

The revamp included replacing the golf course with a new 18-hole championship course designed by Erik Larsen of Ponte Vedrea Beach. There will also be a new 12,000-square-foot clubhouse, seven tennis courts and a junior Olympic-size swimming pool.

In addition to the overhaul of the clubhouse and athletic facilities, 178 single-family homes will be built on land surrounding the golf course.
