Sanctuary Golf Course is real deal

This course is great. The greens are excellent. Good speed, undulating and consistent. The fairways and tees are good. The rough has not started to really grow. The pace was slowish. 4 hours and 20 minutes. There was no one behind us. Only slow groups ahead. Overall an excellent course.

Hidden gem

I made the drive from Jacksonville to play here and will do so frequently in the future.

Awesome staff, gentleman in the pro shop made sure I knew where everything was and was very helpful and I truly appreciated his assistance.

The course was immaculate, loved the layout, I kinda played a mixture of blue/white tees. The green complexes were consistent and at a good pace. Not fast by any means, but neither slow either.

I really liked this course and I'll try and play and least a couple times a month for as long as I can. But I'm afraid, once they finish building out with new homes it may be a private community.
