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.

Well worth playing

I was in St Augustine for the weekend and TPC Sawgrass Stadium course was $300 - $400+ to play so I came across this gem. This course was difficult. It had some tight fairways, plenty of water and sand. What made it more difficult was the fact there were storms rolling through around the area and the wind was a 2-3 club difference. The pace of play on the front 9 was very slow which was a surprise because the starters emphasized 2 hours max per nine and if you were not keeping pace, the ranger would move you along. That did not happen Due to the storms, the back 9 was empty! I will play this course again.

August at Saint Johns Golf

The greens had been aerated recently but they were sanded perfect and the pots still rolled true and the greens were still fast it was absolutely wonderful that was the only bad part about the course if they weren’t sanded then it would’ve been perfect

This course was set up nicely.

Really nice course but a little pricey for this time of year. Good layout and greens were in great shape. I enjoyed the round.

Great Value

Booked last minute. Great value, everything was pristine. Greens were recently punched but healing. 4 out of 5 stars. Course is very fair but challenging.

Brother trip

really liked the course and would have given it a higher rating, expect they had punched their greens and did not let me know in advance. Really changed the playing experience. Would play here again if greens were in good condition.

Punched greens…gotta let the customer know

This course is always in great shape and never a problem but last Tuesday we brought our group there and we’re never advised they just punched their greens. They were not playable. While I am sure they will return shortly didn’t appreciate not being advised and then getting no discount once we found out. If they had told us when we booked we would have played elsewhere. Not good form!

Bad timing

Beautiful golf course that we drove almost 90 minutes to enjoy for a second time only to find out greens had just been aerated. I wish there was an alert we would've made the trip another time. Ill make sure to call in the future
