Great track, worth driving from Jax area

I played from the whites on a sunny day with 25 mph wind gusts. Layout gives ample room to hit driver on most holes. Greens roll true and are still rye, as are the tees and fairways. Rough is (thankfully) still dormant. I grabbed a Hot Deal to play within 7 days of when I was available. That works, since you can make sure the weather is ok (it was, even with the wind). Could have used a beverage cart (n/a on weekdays) that’s my only wish. The guys loading carts, check-in, and starts were all great. Ample short game practice areas and free range balls also a plus.

Sanctuary Golf is a nice change

The course was in great shape considering the massive amount of rain received in the previous week. I’ll definitely be back later this spring.

Spectacular

What a fantastic experience. Staff was ultra friendly.

Played on a cold windy cart path only day as a single in under 3 hrs. Drove up from Jax Beach 1.5 hrs to play and will do it again in a heartbeat. Beautiful tees and fairways with true greens. I’m so glad I expanded the mile radius on golf now so I could find this gem. I’ll definitely be back.

Wow! First time playing Sanctuary & it was a wonderful experience. The course was in great shape for winter golf, the food was delicious, and Jake in the Pro Shop delivered a professional and warm welcome.

I highly recommend this course to everyone!

Always a joy to play!!

Was in the area for a weekend and decided to get a round in. Course was in great shape and weather was beautiful!!! I always make a point to play Sanctuary Cove when can. It’s a challenging but fair course with undulated greens. I will definitely be playing again soon!

Great Conditions, Super Friendly Staff, Great Layout

This was a last minute choice to play and I'm very happy we did. The course is right off I-95 in southern Georgia near St. Simons/Jekyll Islands. So if you are playing in that area, this is a more than worthy option. The course overseeds fairways and greens and both were in outstanding shape. You can tell the superintendent and his team are proud of the course and are detail oriented. We were paired up with a member and he was great company and helpful with recommend landing areas and other "insider knowledge". (thanks, Tim)

Highlights:

- The par 3's are awesome. They were particularly challenging on the windy day we played.

- Greens - best we played on our trip. Rolled pretty quick (maybe ~11). Lots of subtle breaks. Several where you need to be on the correct side of a ridge or hill.

- Fairways - Grass was in great shape. You generally had good lies and the turf was supportive enough to allow chipping and pitching to be easier than other courses played on this trip. Landing areas are generally pretty generous.

- Bunkers - high quality sand and well maintained. There are comparatively fewer bunkers on this course than some others, but they shape the holes nicely.

- They have a member who played over 700 rounds in one year! (there is a sign by the pro shop)

I'd play this again in a heart beat.

Well Maintained Course - Friendly Staff

Well positioned bunkers cost me a lot of strokes, but fairways were generous and the course is in great condition. Enjoyed the layout and would visit again if I can get a deal on GN. Not sure it was worth $120.

Enjoyable.

We played this course, for the 1st time, on our way to SC. We arrived early and we were allowed to tee off a bit early. The staff was super friendly. The course was in great shape, especially the greens.
