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.

FUN and FAIR

This is a fun golf course to play, these folks were great to work us in when we missed out

Ttime completely because there is another

course with 20 miles with essentially the same name. I took my wife who has recently started

playing. It was open enough for both of us to have fun. I will be back.

Overbooked tee times and poor greens…

Took a group of clients here and although is was a great day golfing it was no where near a great golf round.

The course was severely overbooked with 4 min starts and we were started 20 min after our tee time. Causing all day waits. To make it worse the ranger asked us several times what the hold up was at the tee box. As we had to explain there is a group on the fairway waiting for the group on the green. Hard to understand why he could not understand. Caused us to be an hour and a half behind pace for the day.

And then there are the greens. In my opinion they were not in great shape. Lots of fringe grasses patched all over in the green causing ball hop on every green. Making great puts turn into horrible puts.

Needless to say none of us will be back. Two people in our foursome had golfed tournaments here in the past and commented this was the worst they had ever seen this course.

Very disappointed

Showed up at about 12:30 for a 1:10 tee time. Checked in at the pro shop, checked in with the starter. At 2:15 I left the course. Was never called to the tee box. I understand this is a very nice facility. I guess I was invisible.

Won’t try again

Good Golfcourse however

I played a couple of rounds in the last years. The course still is good. The pace of play was too slow, we had to wait on nearly each hole. According to the GPS System iwe were 29 minutes late. There should be a Marshall to increase the flight ahead. Greens were not as good as years ago. The cars are excellent because of the modern GPS System. I will come back , because the course is challenging.

Holiday Round

Paired up with two regular visitors and we played of f the white tees. The course was moderately challenging and with at times a moderately strong breeze to add to the challenge. Greens were variable, possibly because of the different drying rates for elevation and wind. Bunkers were freshly raked with a good depth of sand. Pleased to have regular visits from thedrinks buggy.

Well designed layout.

Fairways were in excellent condition as well as the tees. However the greens are sub-standard. There is a lot of foreign grass in the greens, certainly not what we expected at St John’s Golf and Country Club. We definitely will not be playing there again in the near future.

MOSTLY GOOD… BUT

Very challenging, but fair layout. Tees, fairways, and sand traps were all good. The greens rolled quick in the morning but they’ve been invaded by patches of a different kind of grass. Not sure how they will roll in the afternoon as I’m sure they grow at different rates. I felt $78 for this course on a weekday morning was a little high. I do not plan to play there again.
