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.

1st Time St John's Golf and Country Club

This was a great course to play for my wife and I. we were matched with a Club member and his wife who were congenial and welcoming. The Course was well laid out and the entire staff very friendly and helpful. The course was in very good condition and the fairways/greens fast but not crazy fast. Course offered good challenges,. Excellent value for cost. Quite beautiful and fun to play.

A special place!

Our first time playing St John's and wow I was blown away. A fantastic golf course in great shape! Beautiful fairways and greens that were rolling close to 12. I will definitely return and pray that its around a long time. I was truly saddened to read it maybe sold to developers for more housing. That would be a true same because golf courses like this are hard to find. I've payed quadruple the cost here at supposedly top name places and I feel St Johns blows the away!

Excellent layout excellent shape

One of the best courses in Jax. Very slow play due to tournament from the morning so didn’t quite get 18 in.

An absolute bear from the tips in terms of length. Definite must play.

Great track but crazy fast greens ( too fast).

I'm a pretty good stick, but the greens at this course are way too fast for everyone I played with both times. You cannot even putt the ball online all day for fear of the speed. Ridiculous. I don't know who they think they are trying to impress. The course layout is great, but will probably not play it again unless it was really cheap and I felt like getting aggravation on every green. I can putt pretty well usually but by the end of the round, after hitting every fairway three putted so many greens was happy the round was over. I would like to see a pro not three putt on those greens at least five times a round. BOGUS.
