Sand traps need work

Staff did an excellent job. Course was in great shape except for the sand traps. They need a lot of work. No rakes available. Good greens.

Where's the Water? Where's the Rakes?

The condition of the course was very disappointing. The fairways had very little grass and are as hard as a rock. The traps have been neglected to the point in which they have large ruts and are half covered with weeds. The greens, however, were pretty good. We won't be back until the conditions improve.

Great Starter and Greens

Starter Larry was the Best!!! Pace of play was a little slow , but understandable with full tee sheet bookings. Fairways were a little brown, Greens were in good condition.

Unique and challenging course

I make a point of golfing at Sanctuary regularly while we are vacationing in Florida in the winter. One of my friends golfed with me and called it "bootcamp". With some raised tees and raised greens, it can be challenging.

Fairways grass???

Greens fair but fairways had many bare spots. They should have spent more money on over seeding

nice layout

The course was fun. Many blind tee shots so the first time can be challenging. The play was very slow. Waiting on most of the tee boxes. Did not use clubhouse but it looked nice. Starter and ranger were fine. Greens were large and rolled true, average speed. Very hilly so a lot of elevation changes.

Always a Joy playing

This is a course that while being down through the winter months I always try to play at least 3-5 times! In all fairness to the course this year because of the extreme cooler weather in Central Florida for the first 2 weeks of January you knew that the rough and fairways would be a little dormant or dried out ! Expected and if other reviewers are rating it poor for that then they really don't understand what cold weather can do to Florida courses and Bermuda Grass! Overall the fairways considering we're still decent and very playable. The greens were in great condition! It is such a fun course to play and has one of the best layouts you'll find. As it warms the grass will come back nicely. No worries. Still one of my favorite courses to play because it's challenging hole to hole. Hard to find another course similar to this in Florida! Reasonable rates currently through Golfnow so it's always worth playing! Will be playing it again soon!

Fairways poor, sand traps worse

Fairways were fair to poor, very short and many bare spots. The sand traps were horrible at best. Never raked (we saw only 2 rakes on the entire course and one was broken). Very apparent that the staff never rakes or even checks the traps.

We will not be back.

Great setting

This course is very picturesque, but you need to watch out for the many bunkers - they're deep and challenging. Greens were good and were challenging as well. Overall we really enjoyed this course.

Going down hill

Played this course in the past and it was in pretty good shape. Now I see sand traps not attended to and greens not up to par. Needs a good tune up. Will not be back unless I here there have been some improvements.
