Love Sancutary

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.

Great experience

Played on Sat with late morning tee time. Finished under 4hs. Course was in great condition and the staff was fantastic. While it’s a longer drive from Jacksonville, it took about the same time for a round vs playing a crowded course in Jax. I would highly recommend if you want a quicker pace of play on the weekend on a great, well kept course.

Love Sanctuary GC

Brought several friends down from Savannah (their first time at SCG) and all were thrilled about all aspects of Sanctuary. The food in the clubhouse is phenomenal, service is impeccable, and the course is beautiful, challenging and very well kept. Nothing negative to say about Sanctuary. Range balls included is a nice touch. Always enjoy myself when playing here. Each of my buddies thoroughly enjoyed the experience as well.
