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.

Stupid green speed

The greens here are so ridiculously fast that it makes for a not much fun round. To have a 10 footer, just set it to rolling and have it go 8 feet by is just stupid. Who is the greens keeper trying to impress? No reason to have the greens at pro speeds. Like the course, hate the greens, won’t be back for a long while, and won’t be recommending this course to anyone.

Putting greens need improvement

Fairways are pretty good. The greens however are nothing but sands and impossible to hit because it’s too slippery (no grass).

Homecoming Dance

Paired with three great guys and we had a great round and had little to no wait on the teeboxs. Course was in great shape and the greens were slick as usual which I enjoy.

Only complaint was that on the 18th hole there were some 50 or so folks from the neighborhood who walked right in the way with their kids to take homecoming photos at the bridge which could have easily resulted in someone getting hit by an errant tee shot as we are not professionals. They were oblivious to us and they seemed to think they owned the joint. I get the photo thing, but nobody apologized or asked us as they just barged onto the course!
