Hidden gem for SE GA and NE FL!

Worth the 50min drive from Jax. Course was very nice! Fairways perfect. Greens and fairways were overseeded (looked like rye grass) but whatever it was it was close to perfect. Stripes fairways. Great looking greens. Rolled true but not super fast. Holes that go into the marsh land as well. Large live oaks on the course. Great layout of hikes. Nice comfortable wide fairways. Just an overall great course to play. Will definitely be back!

Great round

Always an enjoyable course to play I try to make it a point to at least play this course a few times a year the greens are always nice and it's got all the challenges you would want with a lot of forgiving open fairways beautiful views.

I love this course, it's really worth the drive from Jacksonville to play. I've played here twice and the conditions are always better than the courses I play in Jacksonville. Great layout, friendly staff, and amazing conditions are all reasons that I'll be coming back

Wide open!

Very nice conditions and quality of the fairways and greens. Plays long, a little wind and sea level don't help. Very pleasant course with some beautiful views!

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!
