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.

Greens Still Recovering

I used to live in the area and played this course all the time. Flew in for a few days to play and decided to play at St. John’s. Greens had been recently aerated and were not in great shape. The course did not have an aerification alert when I booked or I would’ve gone somewhere else this trip. Love the layout, clubhouse, and that range balls are now at the range! Once the greens are healed it’ll be back to pristine conditions once again. Just wish I was warned about the greens before I played.

Brilliant - Must play if you are in JAX or St. Aug

Easily the best course that one can access for normal golfers in the south Jacksonville / St. Augustine area. Course is pristine and very picturesque. Play the right tees though as this course can be really long based on wind conditions. VERY highly recommended!

Always a great course

Staff is great. Course is challenging but doable for weekend golfer.

Only two constructive criticisms is to work on greens a little (patchy on more than a few) and have ranger out keeping track of pace (we ended about 26 minutes behind pace due to a few groups in front of us holding most up)

Overall, would (and will) still play here again. Great course tucked off 210 with good pro shop and restaurant.

Great golf course

This is a course everyone should play. A few tricky holes if you don't know where you're going but pretty well right in front of you. Hit it straight and you can score
