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.

Enjoyable Course and Friendly Staff

We wish we discovered this course weeks ago. So far it is the most enjoyable round we played over the last five weeks. It is very well maintained, there is more growing grass on this course than most others we have played. The facilities and staff are exceptional. The pace of play was about 4 1/2 hours which is OK but we like to play in four hours or less. We will return several times before returning North.

Decent layout, good shape, good value for area

I was visiting from out of area, and others had recommended this course as one to try. As a single , I was paired with 3 members. I enjoyed my round. Good layout though several holes looked similar. Some doglegs, but mostly the course is presented fairly. Plenty of water, but fairways are fairly generous.Greens were in reasonably good condition for a public course. Pace of play was excellent. Our foursome played in 3:45 . I will give this course another try.

Great course

The course is in great shape, especially the greens. You can tell the staff and grounds crew take pride in working there. The course was fun and challenging, our group only got held up once all day. For the price compared to some other courses in the area (I’m looking at you Royal St Augustine) this place is a must play.
