Sanctuary Golf Club has excellent conditions

On this day the course was excellent. The greats were very good and consistent. Not real fast, but very trie. The fairways are green and we’ll manicured. The pace of play was a little over 3 hours. The staff is very friendly and helpful. In all this was an excellent experience.

A very good day

I really enjoyed my day on the course, especially since it wasn’t raining! The fairways are very wide and if it rains you can be limited to cart path only and I walked over 6 miles that day. Will avoid when it is cart path only, but will play and enjoy any other day!

The course was very challenging and in good condition.

The only criticism was the staff who were very indifferent.

Didn't get the welcome weexpected from such a great course. Otherwise we hDawonderful experience playing this course.

Too wet!

Played here about. a year ago and loved the layout. Wanted to go back. When we arrived, saw a sign that said “cart path only l” and “driving range closed”. Pro shop told us they have had 19 days straight days of rain. When we got on the course, it was pretty much unplayable due to the standing water everywhere. Actually surprised they were letting anybody play since you just sink in the grass walking on the fairways. We quit after 9 since it was so bad. I’ll be back, but not for awhile.

Do not know what to say!!!

Excellent!

Excellent!

Excellent!

This place is top notch from golf course staff, professional staff and restaurant staff and clubhouse! Adding new teaching center which will put this place a step above anything around. Course condition better than anything around by far.

The Golf Professional, Mr. Kirklighter spent time with my wife and myself explaining the membership options and gave us a tour of the clubhouse area. WE WILL BE BACK ASAP!!!

Course was great; cart guys don't turn stuff in...

Course was great. If you forget something on the cart, it's gone. Got done our round towards the end of the day, so odds someone else used the cart are slim. Called the next day with the cart number, but nothing to be found.

Hidden Gem Near Golden Isles

If your visiting Golden Isles area, put Sanctuary on your golf course list. Beautiful course in super condition, especially fairways and greens. Although big fairways throughout, still challenging due to difficult bunkers and water in many spots. For price, under $70 with cart, great value.

Perfect Shape and Gold Standard

Probably the best course I’ve ever played, and I’ve played Trump National in DC. Pristine condition and not overly difficult. Loved playing it.

Great course

Course in excellent condition in spite of all the rain this week. Player friendly for all handicaps to enjoy, worth the 30min drive from St. Simons.
