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.

Great course

Beautiful course. Nice layout. Minus just a few greens that could use some touch up maintenance, this is a must stop if in the area. Fast pace of play. Best pricing is on the GolfNow app.

Great layout, Fast greens

Priced high for this level of a course. The course is in good shape, the golf carts are older and not in great shape. Greens and lightning fast, pace of play was slow. Marshall’s ask the group in front of us to play faster but it didn’t help much. Both days I played 4:30 hour rounds.

A solid test of quality golf

This course is well designed and will reward good shots. Plenty of trees will test your accuracy, water will test your nerves and really nice greens will reward good putters. The course conditions are good across the board making it enjoyable to play. The pace of play was excellent at four hours. The staff was helpful and friendly making four first time players feel like we were at our home club. It is a scenic place in a beautiful neighborhood with excellent convenience to I-95, stores and restaurants.

Great Course

Play this course regularly and it's always in great shape. The greens are super fast and true so you need to bring your A game on the greens or 3 putts will ruin your score. Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. Actually played this course on back to back days (Mon and Tues) and my only negative comment was that it seems to slow down on the last 4 or 5 holes and we were waiting at each shot. Probably a function of the difficulty, but it's the only part of the round that was negative. If you're looking for a challenging and well maintained course then you need to play here.
