Love playing this golf course. Demanding, fair.

Only complaint was 2 foursomes in front of us were really, really slow. I told the starter at the turn, but he said there was no ranger and that the course was full. It was behind us, but not in front of these guys. One of your local members played 9 holes with us, but said he could not take it any longer, so he stopped after 9 holes. Absolutely love your course, but don’t like 5 hour rounds!

Wow, fabulous course and a must play if you are in the area. The course is in exceptional condition and the practice areas are very nice. The greens are smooth with a true roll, not ultra fast. The staff were friendly and inviting too. I will definitely come back for more!

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.

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!
