Sanctuary Lake Golf Course

I really like this course. It has a nice layout with different types of vistas on every hole--from woods, to grasslands, and even a lake with elevation changes to boot. I highly recommend this course on a weekday, weekends are overcrowded and the pace of play slows down considerably.

Very good conditions. Greens rolled well but they are very undulating. One of my major dislikes about the course is the several blind tee sheets on the front nine. I wouldn't typically have issue with this but the cattails and wetland areas are so overgrown that you can't see any piece of the fairway on a couple holes. Also, in traditional links courses, you can typically find your ball but it would be buried in tall grass and heather; however, on this course, the tall grass is filled with scrub bushes, cattails, and tall wetland type grasses making every ball you hit a near automatic lost ball in a non-hazard. I was also disappointed in the course layout since there are several spots on the course where multiple greens and tees are jammed together making it disruptive to players on different holes while other golfers are passing, headed to their respective holes.

Great course. Plays a little slow due to the heather. Overall great place to play.

Excellent for all types of players! Green were in great Shape!

Very Friendly staff!! Red (the starter) gave us great course tips and was funny to boot, a great asset to the staff at Sanctuary! Great views from the tee box at #1 & #10!!!! Will play here again for sure, love the links style!!!!!

A good course but you need to play it a few times due to a few blind tee shots. You'll also have to watch out for the holes that run parallel with each other. There aren't trees to knock down errant shots. Greens could be a little faster but the views on top of the hill make up for it.

This is a very good link course, Fairways and greens were very well maintained. Bunkers need more care. Cannot play out of mature heathers.

Nice course, no rangers to be found, we finally quit after 14 holes and 4 hours. Had to wait on every shot. Greens were inconsistant but in good shape.
Avoid it like the plague unless you tee off between 7am and 8am.

The green conditions were great the fairways were great the staff was awesome. The only bad thing was it took 3 hours & 15 minutes to play 9 holes because we went at 11:00 am on a Saturday so I would suggest to go early on the weekends or anytime during the week & you will love this course

- Course in great condition .. was bit wet from overnight rain
- Being the first one out we could finish in little over 3 1/2 hours

The course as a whole is absolutely gorgeous, from the way the holes are set up to the condition of the fairways and greens. There was only a few areas with severe patchy grass problems, but I've played on at least 10 different courses ranging from cheap and subpar to expensive and high quality, and they've all had them. The staff was friendly and the pro shop was nice. I received a 20% off coupon for the pro shop which allowed me to buy some discounted merchandise.

Overall, I would recommend this course for anyone who wishes a step up from the $18 courses. In my opinion, $35 is a steal for 4+ hours of entertainment.

Outside of some very dry patches in the fairway and rough, the course was in pretty good condition. Especially the greens.

Ist time playing this course. Offers good challenging holes pin placement was a little tough on a few. The course is a bit of a maze so you have to pay attention to signs to make sure you are on the right hole. Definitely will play again. Gave a 1 star for food and drink never saw the beer cart and was thirsty

Very well maintained course with some unique features (Deep Heather on a couple holes and a nice shot over a small lake on the 14th). Fairways were a little too close for my liking at times as there were several instances where the shots from other groups came rolling onto our fairway right in front of us one after the other. Also, pace of play was terrible. Took us approximately 6 hours to play a round. The clubhouse explained to us they use a service in Chicago to arrange the Tee times and they had no control over it. They overbooked the course for the day and also let a group of 15 out on a Saturday morning with no tee time. Why did I even bother making a tee time for my group when I can just show up whenever I want and get out? The course was interesting enough where I think I will play it again but it won't be on a weekend...

The course is in pretty solid shape considering how bad the winter was. Greens were in great shape and the only issue seemed to be in some areas of the fairways where the grass would not grow back. Overall this was a great course to play and challenging at times from the tips (Black tees). We teed off at 6:00am so had no issue with backups and long rounds. It looked like an 8:00am tee time would have had more trouble though.

Greens were in great shape. Fairways were spotty in areas. Rough was spotty in areas. Waited on almost every shot. A little pricey for afternoon golf at a city owned golf course

Links style course with few trees on most holes. Lots of hills, bunkers and trouble all around.

Some fun elevation changes, especially on a couple par 3 holes. Greens were in great condition.

Very disapointed in quality of conditioning. Greens very slow and areas outside of fairways very rough!

I HAD A GOOD TIME, WILL TRY AGAIN.
ROUGH WAS A LITTLE TOO THICK.
GREENS WERE A LITTLE SLOW.
