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.

Downhill fast

Course in lousy shape. Greens are bumpy.

Tee boxes bare and like sand traps.

HORRIBLE practice area.

Played this course multiple times last year and this year it has gone to way downhill

Don’t go.

Over priced at any price.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE!? It used to be pretty good

Very slow play

4 1/2 hrs to play 18. Place was very busy. Which is understandable. But to have the group behind us hitting into us off the tee boxes was very disrespectful. But we get it go twice hopefully that even bothered them more. You could actually see the at least 3 groups up front of us and that many more behind us.

Not bad, not great,,,,but not bad

Greens are slow, but well kept and consistent. Course layout is”ok”.

Crummy pro shop and club. Hard to get any quality food or drink either during or after the round.

It’s ok. Not bad. I wouldn’t go out of your way to play it, but if you want a decent round, it’s kinda worth it

Not what it used to be

Driving range, no grass, terrible condition.

Greens not rolled, different grass types growing in tuffs, don't run true, bumpy and hard as a rock.

Fairways not in great shape either.

Nice but slow

Love the course hate the pace. Challenging course but played here twice now and both times were 5 hour rounds. Lots of renovation going on at driving range but hopefully once done will improve course.

Good track

Greens rolling fast and true. Need to keep ball in fairway or penalties will add up quickly due to palmetto trees or water. Staff was really helpful and proactive.

Great course

Tee boxes, fairways and greens all were great. Fun and challenging layout. I still think this course is a little overpriced but great none the less.

Under Construction

Got an afternoon tee time for $35, compared to the $109 you’d pay on a Saturday morning. Driving range is under construction so we hit off of mostly sand. Course was in good condition and the greens were rolling. Fun holes and some well placed sand trap. Definitely worth $35, not sure about over $100 though… can’t wait to play it when everything turns back to green.

Ranger needed

I like everything about St. John’s. The staff is wonderful. The golf course is good. It’s a great value, but they need a ranger that goes around and tells people to play faster. I was behind a group and one of the people in the group works at St. John’s and they held up the entire golf course For the whole 18 holes even came to the first tee 10 minutes late and they were painfully slow and made no effort to play faster, even after complaints
