Carved from a forest of pines and winding through wetlands and lagoons, St. Johns Golf & Country Club offers a scenic 18-hole round located between St. Augustine and Jacksonville. The course features tree-lined fairways and large, fast greens. There is also the occasional two-tiered green to look out for. Water hazards come into play throughout and there are several well-placed bunkers. Depending on how the wind is blowing, the course can range from being gentle to very demanding. Six sets of tees make the course accessible to players of all skill levels. In addition to the course, St. Johns Golf & Country Club also offers extensive practice facilities including a 10,000 sq. foot putting green, chipping green, and a double-sided driving range.

St. John’s Golf and Country Club

The greens are a complete disaster! All dirt and virtually no grass. Basically unplayable. We couldn’t figure out if they were dead or dormant or had some disease. The course should inform players about the state of the greens before they book here. We wouldn’t play here again if the greens aren’t repaired. The rest of the track is decent and the staff were friendly.

Hello and thank you for visiting St. Johns recently! Our greens are emerging from dormancy with the spring temperatures, and their vibrant color returns at the same time.

We would love the opportunity to talk with you in more detail about your recent round and the course! Would you please connect with our GM by emailing info@stjohnsgolf.com? We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Are you sure you are reviewing the correct course? The greens were tidy a few day ago. Plan on being back this week

Disappointed

Normally, I would highly recommend this course to a friend, but not at this time. This is one of the best courses I’ve played. Fairways and greens have always been in pristine condition EXCEPT today. What a shock it was when I started playing expecting it to be like it usually is, only to be so disappointed. The fairways were not in great condition and the greens were aerated loaded with sand looked like they had disease. Whoever the groundskeepers is now must be different than before, because it went from an A course to a C in my opinion.

Great course but...

Off the tee to fringe of green course was great, however, greens looked like they were just punched and sanded which dropped the overall rating. Definitely want to come back but maybe need to let it be known before spending the money that the greens were being aerated or maybe discount the price a little. All in all for this round give it a 4 out of 5.

Local Traveler

I had a hot deal that put me back in the realm of my "normal" rates. I have always enjoyed the difficulty this course brings. It can be humbling on a windy day. Most fairways are cuddled by hills that can be very unforgiving if you miss them. Greens were recently punched, but they are compact enough that the holes don't have much affect on the roll. Still a great course with amenities for the money in the area.

- GPS and chargers on carts

- practice areas: range, short game, putting green

NIce layout

Conditions good, layout challenging. pace of play, not good at all. I asked when I was in the pro shop if there was a marshall on the course and was told yes. We teed off on time only to realize that there was a fivesome in front of us and they were waiting on every shot. After four holes the fivesome changed to a foursome but nothing else changed. Had to wait on every shot. Never seen the marshall untill hole 16. Barely finished with enough light left in the day. This is not the first time that this has happened. Nice course if you do not mind a 5 hour round.

Challenging and fun course

We played St. John’s on our recent vacation. The course was in great shape and pace of play was just right. The greens were the most challenging aspect as they were so fast and hard to read. Really great course for everyone!

Good value, fun time

Played on a nice sunny March day in afternoon. Pace was decent (4hrs cart) and course was fun. Greens were a little crusty and patchy but rolled well enough for this time of year. Pretty good lies in fairway, esp if rolling around. Def seemed like best value in area for a good course in ok condition.

Winter conditions

This is a good layout for any level of golf. It is winter so the fairways and greens show the affects of chilly weather. Always fun to play.
