About Inn at St. John’s

This unique property became a golf resort in 2006 when the former St. John's Provincial Seminary reopened as the Inn at St. John's, a boutique, four-diamond property adjacent to the 27-hole Brae Burn Golf Club. The 118-room inn features Romanesque architecture, two ballrooms with 25-foot ceilings, a two-story atrium and 22 meeting rooms. The more casual Burger Loft complements the fine dining 5ive Steakhouse and Bar. The course, dating to 1923 before a third nine was added in the 1990s, shares its site with Carl's Golfland at St. John's, one of the country's premier golf stores. There's also a covered, heated range at Carl's to bang balls year-round to prepare for your battle with "The Monster" - the nickname for the 666-yard 13th hole, the longest par 5 in the state.

Golf okay….everything else is awful

Golf course: Great value for its lay out and condition. Lots of hills compared to other courses in the area.

Customer service: Horrible. I walked in and got no welcome or acknowledgment that I was even human. Had to initiate why I was there before the guy spoke. He said 3 words the whole interaction and I really felt like I was a burden.

Then we were on #8 and decide to call in an order like it suggests all over the score card, and the response was “An order for what??” They had no idea why someone would call to place an order. I was then transferred to the “tavern” where I was told they only have hot dogs… Not much of a tavern if you only serve hot dogs. That’s a hot dog stand. 🙄

Lastly, our cart battery died and they weren’t sure what to do when we called for help. They did come out quickly, but no point were they apologetic or anything. They just told us why it happened and left. Same cheery guy that check me in didn’t even look at us even though he was clearly the manager or owner.

I’ve gone to this course 50+ times over the years and it was always welcoming and a good time. Something has changed greatly and every moment felt like we were a burden.

Course needs some care.

The tee boxes were In bad shape. We will never go there on a Sunday again. And the pace of play was way too slow. There were no rangers out to keep the pace of play moving. The parking lot was full of potholes and needs repair. We were disappointed.

Great value and good challenge

For early spring, the course was in excellent condition. Tess fairways and green all in good condition. Weather was not great so the course was not busy and our twosome finished in 3h 45min.

Course is challenging enough for mid-teen handicappers. Overall a good value
