Course is excellent!

Great course. Great conditions. Greens were in very good shape, soft, and rolled true. The only issue is that I'm cursed when I play here. The last 5-6 times I've played this course it has either been a torrential downpour that rained out the round, or a lightning storm that was too dangerous to continue. Had an even par round through 14 holes and it came the worst lightning storm I've seen in a long time. I don't mess with God and lightning with a club in my hand. But overall it is well worth the hour drive north of Jacksonville to play this course when you can find it for the right price.

Spectacular course

I must say I was so disappointed when I walked on the 18th green to take a look at my birdie putt. I was disappointed the round was coming to an end. The course is in spectacular condition! Greens and fairways perfect. Such a relaxing setting both challenging and rewarding. I will definitely return hopefully many times.

Very friendly staff and by far the best course I've played in South Georgia. The course and practice facilities are in perfect condition. Definitely worth every penny and will be back soon.

Great find!

The staff was overwhelmingly friendly. Super informative. The ranger Matt was very helpful and friendly. The course was well maintained and played as you see it. I loved this place over a lot of places in the area and will be back for sure. Great experience! Just book it you won’t regret it.

Added to the fave course rotation list!!

First heard of the course on a FB golf group. Drove up from Jacksonville and was well-worth the drive. Course was in excellent condition only weeks after green punching. Pro shop staff were very friendly and provided helpful info for a first time player of the course. Range balls were even provided prior to our round. Played in under 4 hours on a Tuesday afternoon.

Phenomenal course!

Mike/Mark from the pro shop were awesome! My father In law and I enjoyed this course very much. We played off of the gold tees and the course was a fun challenge. Beautifully kept tee boxes, fairways, & greens. If you’re in the area, we would highly recommend playing here, it was an awesome time! BEAUTIFUL course to play at - worth every dollar! Very nice club house with great prices.

Enjoyed the Round

People there were very nice. Greens had been punched and were sandy but the ball rolled true. Course is layed out well with fair shots and well placed laced bunkers. Was an enjoyable round. A number of tee boxes to accommodate all levels of play. If you are in the area definitely go there for an enjoyable round of golf.

Great course! Great staff!!

Right from the start everyone was really friendly and pleasant! That just set the tone for a wonderful day!

The course was in great shape when we played with just a relaxing feeling over the entire course. The layout is very easy on the eyes with plush green fairways and a rough cut not too high to keep the fun going in your round!!

I highly recommend The Sanctuary Course!!

5 Stars for sure!!!

Really Good Golf Course

Really enjoyable golf course. Wide fairways and challenging greens. Really good bermuda greens which is a rarity. Good pace on the greens but with some grain that added to the challenge and fun. Pace of play was great. Staff could not have been friendlier. Best buy on the Georgia coast. Just a really well run golf course in all aspects. The views of the inner coastal on the last few holes were terrific. The 18th green with the ridge in the middle was unique and really cool.

Love the course layout and conditions, great restaurant and bar services as well. It does get busy at times, but pace of play is always good. They do an excellent job of keeping up with everything here.

Great and Fun course

I’ve heard about this course from being out of state. The course was punched 2 weeks ago and you couldn’t tell at all. The greens were in fantastic shape. The course was in great shape. It’s a very fun track. The staff from beginning to end was phenomenal. The grill was really good.

I would recommend this course to everyone to play.

If there is one thing that was a negative for me was the cart girl. I couldn’t buy anything or tip her because she is cash only. I never carry cash. She was very nice and came by us several times. Sorry, I couldn’t get anything until the grill.

Excellent Condition

I played this course many times in its first ten years. Always loved the layout but it was not getting the attention required to keep conditions consistent. Fast forward five years or so since my last round and it is nearly immaculate. Current ownership has done an outstanding job getting this course to the level it deserves. The place is in excellent condition and absolutely beautiful!

So nice, I played it twice

Great track, terrific views, and friendly staff. Got done in 3.5 hours at noon on a holiday, then looped back around for just $40. Can't beat it! Worth the drive from Jax or Savannah.
