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.

Always a great course

Staff is great. Course is challenging but doable for weekend golfer.

Only two constructive criticisms is to work on greens a little (patchy on more than a few) and have ranger out keeping track of pace (we ended about 26 minutes behind pace due to a few groups in front of us holding most up)

Overall, would (and will) still play here again. Great course tucked off 210 with good pro shop and restaurant.

Great golf course

This is a course everyone should play. A few tricky holes if you don't know where you're going but pretty well right in front of you. Hit it straight and you can score

Great golf course

had a good time playing this course for the first time. Created a need for driving accuracy with fairway bunkers in the driving areas and elevated greens. The wind created a nice challenge to try and score. Overall i liked the course and would gladly play it again.

Excellent course

It was my first time playing here and I was impressed. The staff was very attentive and informative from start to finish. Course layout was nice and in great condition. Greens were fast and had to get use to that, as other courses I’ve played have been slow. Overall it was a great day even with the slow threesome in front of use.

Normally excellent greens

The greens are normally A+, but seems like they lost the grass on quite a few of the greens. Still a great course, just left a little to be desired on the greens.

Pace of play.

Overall the course was in great condition, good layout, tee boxes were in good shape and positioned for a reasonable difficulty.

-the greens were sandy and patchy, you would roll a putt and it would jump and waver several times to the hole but still fast.

-pace of play and courtesy of play, I was only able to play 9 in about 3 in a half hours…as a two ball my partner and I would tee off then wait 15 minutes to 20 minutes between every shot. There was a lot of tour pro green reading or tee boxing aiming going on between the 2 or 3 groups ahead of us. IE lacking a marshal to keep up the pace of play I guess.
