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

I really like this course. It is always in great condition. Always well maintained. The greens are slippery. Overall the course is challenging but playable. The staff is friendly. However, it does get a lot of play so, as a nonmember, booking a tee time is a challenge.

Will Play Again

Course was in good shape, greens are fast. I would highly recommend this course with the caveat that it cam get crowded and backed up. Yesterday we had a winter frost and course opening was delayed 1 hour. So while that is unfortunate no one really is to blame. However, I did play with 2 regulars who live close by and are very familiar with the course and their only knock or concern with the course is that it is for a 5 hour round is not unusual, sometimes a little longer (we were just under 5 after the 1 hour tee time delay). That being said, I will go back to play there again, and that is the best thing I can say about any establishment.

Nice challenge

This course was at times narrow, lots of water but fun to play. The pace was a bit slow for not being very crowded at 1 pm. Also, pricey for the average round if not for TeeTimes. Other than that, a nice gem in the neighborhood !!

Overbooked

On weekends they send groups off the front and back from 2-4. We played the front at a good pace but when we got to the turn the starter was gone and new groups were going off the back on their own backing everything g up. I am told they do this every weekend..

It’s too bad because the front was great. Greens were fast and true and course was in good shape. They are too greedy with squeezing as many rounds out of the course .

Excellent course in great condition

Very pleased with course condition and layout. A pleasure to play! Only negative was starters inability to adjust to lateness of groups. He held up play until every member of a group showed up! He should have let the next group go if they were ready. Result was we started 15 minutes after our scheduled tee time! Clear that up and everything is good!

Nice course

This was the first time playing St. John’s Golf & Country Club. I have tried a few times but found it difficult to get the tee time I wanted. I’m glad that I got to play there yesterday. What a nice course and it was in good condition for January. The course is laid out nicely and is challenging but playable. The tee boxes are positioned to give players of all levels a fair challenge. It’s a pretty course. Some after, lots of traps. I played on a Sunday and the starter said that they had a full tee sheet. I didn’t doubt him since the parking lot was fairly full and lots of players around the clubhouse. We teed off right on time and played at a nice steady pace. The only slight hold up started on the 15th hole and even then we only had to wait about 5 minutes for them to clear. Overall, I liked the course, would recommend it and look forward to playing there again.

Birthday round

The course was full as most would expect for a great course in the middle of winter in Florida. I was part of a foursome and we NEVER had to wait on any tee box or fairway! It was an awesome time. The greens was super fast and challenging. I loved every 3 putt, as I had a few. It was fair but the pin placement was for Sunday afternoon! Lol! it was a great way to spend a great day! Can’t wait to go back.
