Sanctuary Golf Course

Lovely course with Very friendly professional staff. The pro shop is small with virtually no options for women’s apparel. Cart only came by one time in a 51/2 hour round. That said, we played on a holiday AND at the end of a junior tournament so we expected to wait a little. It is a beautiful course and we highly recommend it.

Rare find on GolfNow

I don't know how many different golf courses. I've played over the last decade thru GolfNow but this was one of the best golf courses. I've discovered on the app. It wasn't the golf course fault that the weather was windy and a little chilly but the golf course wasn't perfect condition for early February. The people who worked there were very nice. Thoroughly enjoyed the place.

Outstanding condition

Great conditioned golf course in every aspect. Interesting and challenging layout. A really nice all grass practice range and short game area. It’s worth an hour drive.

Great Shape As Usual

Course was in great shape. Greens rolled well and the fairways were as good as could be expected considering the harsh winter.

Great find!

My husband and I loved this course. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Practice areas are great; driving range, putting area and short game area were all fantastic! The condition of the course was excellent, especially for January. . Greens rolled true. Course design was challenging and fun. Pace of play was 4 hours. Only drawback, The Grill service is a little slow.

Highly recommend this beautifully maintained course and property!

A newfound friend

Never played before, but will definitely be back - conveniently located just off 95, but subtly set amongst the marsh backdrop. Felt totally integrated with surroundings / neighboring housing was not uncomfortably close to play.

One of my top 5 favorites in the area

Best course in this whole area!!

The fairways and greens are in great condition! I’d highly recommend playing here where you’re putting is true and the fairways must have some really good drainage because they are in great shape!

Great golf course

Our first time playing in this course. We met one of the owners of the golf course, who is friendly and loves seeing new golfers like us play on their course. We will definitely be back. The golf shop gives us free golf towels, which is very kind and a welcome gesture as we visit their golf course. The greens are excellent, and the fairway was open, trimmed, and very easy to navigate.

Wow just wow!

From the moment you pull up, your greeted with sweet southern hospitality. Complimentary towels were given to us before our round started in the pro shop. The moment you stepped up to the first tee box you realize your in golf heaven. Crosscut grass from the fairway through the greens! Wide open fairways with beautiful house spaced out throughout the course, with non of them actually coming into play. The par 3s! Wow just wow! Absolutely amazing! Not one complaint what so ever! This course deserves its 5 star rating plus more! I will definitely be back!
