Less Than Considerate Maintenance Crew

My wife and I played on a terrific weather day. Overall, the course was in fine shape and, in particular, the greens were in very good condition. That said, they were applying fertilizer or top dressing to the fairways and the large, very loud "sprayer trucks" followed right on our backs most of the back nine. Several times when we were up by the green chipping on or putting out...these sprayer trucks were right on our tails, noisily applying their product 30 yards away to the fairway we had just played. Couldn't they have just waited 3 extra minutes and allowed us to clear the green? It was puzzling and very disappointing, to say the least.

: We take are reviews seriously and we hear you! the Maintenance staff at Sanctuary is one of the best, The spreader truck is contracted once a year for this application only.; we however dropped the ball and should have provided a larger gap for spreader truck. We regret your disappointment and hope you will come back again real soon. Thanks for your review!! this will help us continue to grow and improve our services.

Beautiful course

This is a beautiful course and quiet frankly isn't talked about enough in the Brunswick/SSI area. The course is always in great shape and the staff is always accommodating. I play here every chance I get and have a buddy coming from over 3 hours away just to play here today.

A great course

If you’re in the area, it’s a must play. Generous width off the tee and sporty greens. The course condition was excellent. The clubhouse and bar were very nice. I’d play it again.

Great course and will be back.

Only suggestion is for pin placement identification.

The on cart gps is to the middle of the green.

All flags are white - no front back middle designation.

Too many positives to list. Great layout. Great condition fantastic and friendly staff. Wonderful experience.

Hidden Gem

Although, it's about 30 minutes north of Jacksonville its well worth the drive. Amazing course, beautiful scenery, and a friendly staff makes for a great day. Also, they have outstanding food in the clubhouse.

Great course….greens are excellent and fairways look good….if you expect rollouts in fairways that’s something you won’t get….so it makes it play longer….but definitely one of the best around between there and Jacksonville
