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.

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

unfortunate circumstances

My tee time was booked a week in advance. I had out of town guests and a tight window. I read the most recent reviews to ensure that the course was in good condition. When my 4-some arrived we were told the greens were punched and sanded about 12 hours ago. There was zero time to book elsewhere. We were charged the full $67 weekday rate to play a course that should have either notified me, or offered a discounted rate. Then I have to ask my guests for $67 each to play garbage greens. I've played this course 50 times. In a prepay scenario, no need to remedy. Poor showing.

Pricey for Aerated Greens

I love the course and it was in great condition tee and fairway, but I had I known the greens had just been aerated and sanded I would have played somewhere else rather than pay $72 for the round. The course should have either reduced the rate or communicated the conditions on the internet. While I recommend playing, I wouldn’t play until the greens have had time to recover if they are going to charge that much.

Poor communication

After arriving at the course was told that the back 9 was being aerated and I would have to play the front 9 twice. There was no disclaimer when making the tee time nor any concessions made for the inconvenience. Would have loved to seen the entire course.

Very few amenities.

No water anywhere on the course - only when drink cart comes around. No marshal on the course - group in front of us played a 5 hour round with no one in front of them.
