Great public track. Extremely good condition from the tees to the greens. A pleasure to play on all levels. I had heard these good things from others and can confirm they were correct.

Sanctuary is a sanctuary for golf

Best shape I’ve ever seen this course in. It’s always been great but this time it has clearly elevated itself into one of the top courses within drivable distance of Jax. Well worth the drive up north. Got a gokfnow deal time so that made it even more value for the shape it was on. Greens were in perfect shape. Fairways and tees were plush. And the best part … no charge for range balls - the way a premium feel course should be. Will play it every time I can find a deal time fee because it is easily in my top five courses in this area now.

Sanctuary April 16

I love this course. I think this course very much compares to the sea Island courses. And for the value, I would pick this course.

Great Low County Golf

The course was in pristine condition, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The starter switched up starting times with the consent of several pairings to help manage the pace of play on a very busy day. His attention to detail was appreciated.

The layout offers some challenging obstacles along fairways, but not so much that the course is unplayable. Greens were fast and consistent. Traps were well maintained. Wind at the coast is always a factor and it was the case when I played yesterday. The scenery at the marsh is quite nice. I will definitely play this course again!

Course condition and layout

This is one of the best courses we played in Hilton Head and Savannah area.

Condition is perfect, layout is challenging, the back 9 is very interesting and more difficult.

The day we play, very high winds.

Oly saw one alligator, but it's a big one.

Excellent All Around

Tim & Matt greeted us in parking lot and got us all sorted out. They couldn’t be nicer. Range balls included with round. Practice areas top notch and matched speed on course greens. Ordered food at turn. Burger and wrap were very good. The only knock would be the gnats. Weren’t bad on every hole, but on a few holes they were bad. The clubs house does sell gnat spray. Sanctuary was worth the price!
