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.

Nice Track

St. John's is a very nice semi-private country club course. It has a wonderful range and practice area to get you warmed up. Fairways are in nice shape and the greens are firm. There are two challenging Par 3s on the back 9 and play can back up a little with golfers re-loading after dunking their tee shot. I've played several times and rounds average 4-½ hours. But I will still recommend and look forward to playing anytime I'm in the St. Augustine area.

Great condition

It's been a while since we played St. Johns even though we live close by. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were in great condition and the groundskeepers should be commended for and proud of their work. We were paired with two members and they were gracious and friendly. It is one of the best courses between JAX and St. Augustine and a pleasure to play.

I was impressed with the greens, especially considering how much play they have gotten over the last 6 months. Greens were super fast and a treat to play.

Very nice golf course

We played an afternoon round when the wind was pretty strong and still played in 4:15, which is very good. I would have given the condition of the course 4 and 1/2 stars but that option was not available. Greens were great, fairways nice and most tee boxes were good. Lots of water, handicap rating for the tees is accurate.

I hope to return soon as this is one of the finest facilities I have found in the area.

Great course - be nice to lower prices

Nice course in good shape. Flat, challenging, good mix of sand, water, and open fairways. Greens were large. I felt like it cost more than it should.
