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.

What happened

This course was once one of the best in the area.

The greens are in bad shape. It’s really a shame.

Good course

This course is always good. Greens were aireated in last two weeks but no mention of it before booking. Should have been a discount given their condition.

Exceeded our expectations

The course was an awesome value. Reasonable price, outstanding staff, beautiful conditions (even in the heat). Greens could have been a little better but they were much better than most public courses in the area.

Unfortunate

Found it to be unfortunate to pay $75 per guest and not be told the greens were in aeration condition!!! Then to be stuck behind a group of players that held us up an average of 5 minutes per hole on the back nine, only to be told by the ranger that if I say anytime they will just say ok and stay at the same pace because this group plays there every week.

Should have been told

Staff was friendly course looked good but first Florida course that I’ve seen cart path only and it was not wet except two holes. The greens had been punched last week and not enough sand used. Don’t think it would have mattered as there are numerous patches of common Bermuda all over every green. It was like putting on a pinball table. Would not have booked had we known the greens were so bad.

Great Course, BUT

We’re unaware that the greens had recently been plugged and sanded. Several greens had a bad weed problem. If I had known about the plugged and sanded greens, I would not have booked tee time. This kind of info should be announced during the reservation process.

Greens Punched and Sanded

Was told by the starter that we would be playing the back 9 twice as the front was under maintenance. No issue to me. However, there was no warning of how the greens were punched and sanded that same day and we’re unplayable. Full price paid as well. Beautiful back 9 course otherwise!

Awesome experience

I took my wife for a round for her birthday (her wish), and we were extremely surprised and happy about how beautiful this course was! The employees were super friendly, the amenities top notch, and the clubhouse very modern and clean! Would definitely recommend! Only complaint would be the lack of ball washer stations at the tee boxes? Enjoy

Highly recommend!

Great course, and conditions were perfect! I would recommend making your own “Blend” on holes to keep it a bit more changing instead of the whites only. Free range balls if you download the app, so saved a couple bucks there. Employees all over the place, which was a huge help saving time if you are new to the place. Cart attendants on both sides to keep you refreshed. Stop and play, you won’t be disappointed!!
