Excellent course. Great value as well

We played this course on the way up to see the Masters and was very impressed. The course is in great condition and easily met the financial value. We will consider this course as a destination for our annual golf trips. Great job.

Always a Great Time

I’m a local and get to play it a few times a year, but Sanctuary is a hidden gem off 95. Course conditions are always great, greens are pure and fast, and the owner and management have a continua improvement approach. Recently finished a new short game practice area, and now looks like they’re building a new tee box on 13. It

Older fellow in the pro shop was very nice and offered details on the course, even though I’m familiar. Course was backed up due to a tournament and the group in front ask me to play with - bartender from Sanctuary and his friend Carol and friend Jerry joined on the backbone. All 3 were members and said they hoped we could play together again sometime. Thanks to Keith and Carol for asking me to Join them. Still Finished 18 in less than 4 hours.

Excellent Value

While vacationing on Amelia Island in North Florida, we read the reviews and gave it a try. Everything stated by other we agree with. Worth the 65 minute drive. Right off of I95. We will play again and as of now is a ‘go to’ venue.

What a beautiful course!

This is just a lovely layout. Front 9 lots of trees with Spanish moss. Back 9 has several holes bordering wide expanse of river and marsh grass. Wide fairways. Greens are approachable for average golfer and not too fast.
