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.

Fast greens

The practice green was ridiculous fast with a lot of slope, which was replicated on the course. Try not to be putting down hill too much
Loved the course, hopefully I will play better next time.

Great Course - just a bit pricey

First time playing. Heard a lot of positive things. It was a solid 4.5 star rating on pretty much everything. The greens were a little weird with different color splotches, but they rolled OK. Biggest issue for me was the price.

Great course!

Had a nice round on this course. Course is in good shape and is a fair course for average golfers. Also had a very nice dinner with my wife afterward in The Bridge restaurant in the clubhouse. Definitely will play again.

Great Course

We played this course for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The layout is challenging and the course was in much better playing condition than other courses we played in the area. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We only wish we had discovered the course sooner during our stay. Next year we will be playing it on a regular basis.

Enjoyable Course and Friendly Staff

We wish we discovered this course weeks ago. So far it is the most enjoyable round we played over the last five weeks. It is very well maintained, there is more growing grass on this course than most others we have played. The facilities and staff are exceptional. The pace of play was about 4 1/2 hours which is OK but we like to play in four hours or less. We will return several times before returning North.
