Sanctuary Golf Club

Had lunch, food was very good and reasonable. Staff friendly and helpful. Course is in great condition

Course was in excellent shape for this time of year...can't wait to play in the Spring!!! Perfect Tee boxes...BEST I've ever seen! They had recently over seeded but the greens were still in good shape. The entire staff were absolutely amazing...reminded me of playing at my old Country Club! Only wish I had played better!

Our club is hosting a PGA event this upcoming week so the course and facilities were either closed or inaccessible. We put together 2 foursomes and decided to give Sanctuary Cove a try. Some of the guys had played it previously. They said it was nice. Several of us, including me, had never been there before, despite it being less than 30 minutes away. I had not. We had all heard it was in "pretty good shape," so we were excited about trying it out. Across the board, the experience exceeded our expectations. The layout is great. Although they had recently over-seeded, the same is true of many other places. Bottom line, if this is the 9th best semi-private track in the state, I would like to see the others. The whole experience was great. Lakes, rough, fairways, greens, traps --you name it-- it was all on par with a well maintained private club. Frankly, the layout is better than most...

I’ve played The Sanctuary a few times over the years, usually once or twice annually, as it’s about a 45-minute drive from my home in Florida. Every visit has been enjoyable, and yesterday was no exception. My wife and I booked a noon tee time for $86, and it turned out to be a great day. The morning was very cold with hardly anyone on the course, but by noon it had warmed up, though it was still windy. I only saw one other foursome all day. The fairways had just been overseeded for winter and were starting to germinate, so it was cart paths only, which didn’t bother me. I’ve played here after the overseed takes hold, and the conditions are fantastic. Yesterday they were still very good, with just a hint of the bright green that will appear in a couple of weeks. The greens were smooth and quite fast. This Fred Couples design is set in a country club community, with friendly, helpful staff. The free range balls and water were a nice touch, and the warm-up areas are exactly what you’d expect from a premium course.

A year ago, I even considered moving to this community, but one drawback held me back—the faint roar of I-95 that you can hear on the front nine, less so on the back, likely depending on wind direction. Even so, I still really enjoy the course, and it’s well worth a visit.

I plan to return soon.

Many traveling golfers heading to coastal Georgia are going to Jekyll Island or St. Simons Island and drive right by the Sanctuary. That's a mistake. This is a really nice golf experience, especially if you stay in the golf cottages on property like I did. They're great two-bedroom homes just a short walk from the clubhouse. The practice putting and chipping green are right outside the screened-in porch, so you can tune up your game until the sun goes down. Guests also get access to the indoor golf simulator in the adjacent building. The course itself feels like a cart ride through nature with only a few moments where homes intrude on the solitude. It climaxes with several dramatic holes set (nos. 13-16) within the marshes.

Played a great golf course and spent some time with Golf Professional on the SAN Putt Lab system in their training center. Everything about place is top notch!!!

For as nice as a course as this is the staff is even nicer. Drove in from Jacksonville and had blast will definetly be back.

This course was super pure, true greens and crisp fairways all around great track. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Won’t lie if there is wind out there this is a mean course, lots of intercostal influence.

If you live in NE Fl or SE Georgia you know how much rain we have had. The course was in amazing shape and very playable after a hard overnight and early morning rain. We had a few spots of standing water but any other course would have had to close. Rain or shine Sanctuary is one of my favorite golf courses to play.

I just love this course! It is always in pristine condition and pace of play is usually doable!!

Excellent course and the friendliest staff I’ve ever interacted with from check in to the starter. Only bad thing is that they don’t offer rain checks so with my luck the bottom fell out and we only got to play 8 holes. I would’ve loved to finish all 18 while I was down in this area but definitely will be back as the course is top tier.

Lots of rain recently, but based on topography this course likely retains water whenever it rains. Left footprints in the turf (unlike other courses in the area). Looks like pretty good conditions (greens slow but plenty of grass). Biggest negative - course design is like a cow pasture and has no imagination (par 3’s are the exception. If you like challenging golf, choose someplace else.

Beautiful course. Longer and challenging Par 3's. The Greens have been recently 'punched', but still rolled true and better than many other courses. I look forward to returning on a bit drier day.

Pro Shop staff was welcoming and engaging.
