St. Johns Golf & Country Club

The course is like a brand new course again but the price is way to high right now.

Love the layout. Not too much water and long enough to challenge all levels. The GolfNow price of $31 made it even better. Staff is friendly too. Fairways are pretty dry as we have had no rain in the area for quite some time. Only problem with the course was the concrete-like greens. Very frustrating to judge speed and break. After the round I was informed that they just applied a second treatment to kill something; I don’t remember if it was bugs or fungus. It would have been nice for the Pro shop to give us a Heads-up. Too many 3 and 4 putts.

Some disclosure of the course conditions would have made things a little better but greens were unplayable. Supposed to be shutting the course down to redo all the greens but until then, they are unplayable.

Rest of the course was fine, tee boxes are in good shape and the fairways are nice.

Practice area is torn apart for new additions and they have shortened it to be irons only.

Not worth even paying half price for the course in its conditions. Need to have some notice to people booking of the poor conditions.

It’s a nice course but right now the condition was not enjoyable. The greens were dead grass (literally) and so it was impossible to putt. We played with a member who said they were going to redo the greens and also were renovating a number of areas of the club. What struck us the most was the staff. Not overly helpful, hard to find someone, and not an easy process to do simple things like find the driving range or putting green. Until the course is in better shape I wouldn’t recommend.

Booked through GN and was delighted with getting what I thought was a really hot deal because I absolutely love this golf course and consider it the best in the area.

On arrival everything was as normal. Checked in ok and drove to the first tee. Looked over to a barren practice area and joked with the starter suggesting there may be an issue with sprinklers. It was only then that I discovered that every green on the course had been treated and scraped.

They are about to close down for 5 months to replace all of the greens and they’ve taken the greens down to base level after treating and killing off all of the grass. Effectively leaving a surface like concrete with no grass. Probably upwards of 16 speed.

As they’re closing for 5 months, they appear to have neglected some of the rest of the course also. So no greens and patchy fairways. The tee boxes are in poor shape too.

I paid under $50 to play it, thinking I had grabbed a bargain, but I left feeling way overcharged.

They should be telling people on GN at the point of booking (which in this case was the point of payment) that the greens are basically unplayable. Instead, they’re raking in the last remnants of cash before returfing the greens.

Really disappointing. I’ve come to expect better from them.

Greens have been killed in preparation for green replacement. No way they should have charged me full price.

St Johns GCC, a fantastic course , closing down for greens redo, will miss it for 5 months

They are charging full price . Greens are sprayed and dead they are going to replace all greens but current condition is not good . Do not recommend playing for a year or so until finished .

They killed every green on purpose. They should be ashamed to allow play to continue.

Course is closing for 6 months for renovations next month. the greens have zero live grass, try putting on concrete. We were unaware of this when booking.

I wouldn’t recommend there until they finish with the greens!! The rest of course is good, but the greens are like putting on linoleum. So fast and hard to judge speed!!!!

Fantastic course to play. Amazing tees and fairways. The greens are being redone and I believe the staff member said all of them will be complete in September so expect them to be getting steadily better for the next few months. Challenging course which is enjoyable.

When i booked this, i was unaware that they've killed every green on purpose!!! Apparently redoing all greens starting may 5th. Putting was like trying to putt on a garage floor. Very disappointing

Played this course today, as it was heavily recommended by multiple local persons a a “must play”. I can absolutely see why this course would be a fantastic place to play when the conditions are okay, but to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. They recently killed the greens, and don’t advertise this, and it’s not hyperbole to say they literally roll similar to a cart path; you simply cannot stop a ball. Along with that, the fairways are in pretty rough shape - tons of divots and dead areas.

I will definitely be back next year on our trip, however, I would say to anyone else out there, for the next 6 months while the greens and fairways get redone, you can find tons of better options out there for the money. The course is maybe worth it 30 bucks in the condition it’s in.

When we were researching this course there were high ratings. Unfortunately when we arrived we found out that the greens were being redone and were completely dead. We found out from the starter. We would have liked to have known so we could have decided if we wanted to play. Also a discount for play would have been fair. We were very disappointed.

Nice course, but greens are unplayable as the course is replacing all the greens in 2 weeks, all greens are brown and dead

Wait a while until the new greens are in and mature

We booked a tee time on the app, when checking in, we were told “by the way, we sprayed the greens 2 weeks ago”. Meaning they killed the grass in preparation of replacing the greens starting in a few weeks. They had sprayed them before we booked our times. I feel we were duped.. we made the best of it… we like this course otherwise.

Course was in fair condition, but they are closing in May to refurbish the course. Considering it was in great shape. Greens were fast and true.
