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.

The greens are a complete disaster! All dirt and virtually no grass. Basically unplayable. We couldn’t figure out if they were dead or dormant or had some disease. The course should inform players about the state of the greens before they book here. We wouldn’t play here again if the greens aren’t repaired. The rest of the track is decent and the staff were friendly.

Hello and thank you for visiting St. Johns recently! Our greens are emerging from dormancy with the spring temperatures, and their vibrant color returns at the same time.

We would love the opportunity to talk with you in more detail about your recent round and the course! Would you please connect with our GM by emailing info@stjohnsgolf.com? We look forward to hearing from you soon!

I had a hot deal that put me back in the realm of my "normal" rates. I have always enjoyed the difficulty this course brings. It can be humbling on a windy day. Most fairways are cuddled by hills that can be very unforgiving if you miss them. Greens were recently punched, but they are compact enough that the holes don't have much affect on the roll. Still a great course with amenities for the money in the area.
- GPS and chargers on carts
- practice areas: range, short game, putting green

Pace of play

Had a couple in front that were walking ith motorized carts and were not interested in letting anybody play thru. Kept getting notified we were numerous times by the gps that we were behind and that a Marshall would come out and talk to us. We did see one ride by but he never talked to us. He should have talk to the couple holding the test of the course up.

Beautiful course though it was cold and windy for this round. The greens are incredibly fast. A light touch was needed and even then, hard to keep it from traveling.

WOW.. We love it!

I rate pretty conservatively, but I am going to rate it as I saw/experience this course. I give 5 start rating for the entire experience at this lovely/challenging course. I can fill this review with plenty of compliments and still be not enough. From bag assistance (meeting us at parking lot), well informed/communicated starters, professsional/respectful pro shop staffers and restaurants were friendly and professionals at their best. Our foursome group felt we were playing at very high end course. On the contrary, the course was very reasonable priced. I would HIGHLY recommend St. John to all and to anyone... please behave and be respectful to staff & course. The course design and conditions were impeccably well manicured. I will definitely return for excellent golf and good food. I have no complaints... all were superbly good and I miss playing there already. Nice job to entire St John's team! See you guys real soon.

Always love this course but the greens need help desperately. They were worn and quite rough. Not sure I’ll be back until they repair the greens which has been discussed for quite some time.

Great Experience

This course is scenic and in great shape from tee to green. The greens were quick and rolled very true. Bunkers (I saw several) were well kept and full of fluffy, playable sand and every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. We will return every time we are in the area.
