Give it a go

This was an all around great experience. Course conditions we’re spot on, you can tell they’re putting the work in daily. Staff was friendly. The manager said a new par 3 course is being added, along with a golf instruction/ simulator building being built just off the clubhouse. Stopped in after the round and had the Ruben with potato salad, both are recommended. Do yourself a favor and give it a go.

Plugged

Wish we would have known it got plugged. The greens were bumpy and so putting was pretty much impossible.

The Sanctuary was in immaculate shape. A beautiful course with a hardworking staff. I don’t like paying $80 for a round of golf, but this course is well worth it!

Great conditions !

This course was in EXCELLENT condition. Fairways, greens and bunkers were all in immaculate condition (and bunker sand was consistent and plentiful). The course is a model of what I would want to play from a conditions standpoint any day of the week. On the flip side, I played as a single at a bit after 12 noon behind a twosome and two foursomes Pace of play was, unfortunately, slow and amounted to an almost 5 hour round. I think some better tee time management so as to combine some groups so as to get some better pace of play would be an opportunity to improve the experience.

Great Condition, slow play

This course was in SUPER condition. Greens, bunkers and fairways were outstanding. Play was glacially slow. Waited on every shot for 18 holes.
