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.

fairways and greens in great condition

Course is in great shape. Greens are fast. Our threesome finished in just under 4 hours. Some tight fairways, but very manageable. Surrounded by lovely homes and lots of water. Staff friendly and helpful. Very much a country club feel. Highly recommend.

Good enough

This was our fifth and last round of our trip and paid the most here, but we all agreed it wasn’t the best course we played. Play was a little slow but could maintain tempo, conditions a bit spotty. Overall, I was disappointed, expected better

enjoyable round

The most dominant characteristic of this course is the greens. They are some of the BEST I have played on and they are very fast. I was impressed with all aspects of the course with the exception of the sand bunkers. Most were good, but some could use more sand. The pace of play was average for winter golf in FL. It's almost always crowded. The starter tried really hard to speed up tee times with cancellations and "no shows". All in all the staff and facilities were very good.

One of the best in the area

Great course. Very well maintained. Greens, bunkers, and fairways are all in good shape. Staff is super friendly.

I didn’t give 5 stars since those are reserved for the TPC’s of the world.

SJGCC is a great place to play. Book with confidence.

Make sure you have the whole day available

The course itself was in good shape and challenging for all levels of players. The reason I won't go back is it took 5 and a half hours to play the round! Hit and wait, hit and wait. And during that entire time we never saw one single ranger on the course. Obviously, some group, whether through ignorance or indifference, was slowing the whole course down and nothing was done to correct this. For what they charge to play this course they can afford rangers.
