Escape the snow & play Sanctuary Ridge Photo submitted by DAB4par on 12/05/2014
Worse conditions I have ever seen
This course should be paying the the golfers to play the course. It is a cow pasture. There no interest by the owners in maintaining the course it looks like a Meadow. There is absolutely no grass anywhere, nothing but clover in the fairways if you could call them that they, are not delineated at all. The greens are in horrible shape. You should not have this course on your selection as it is extremely is this extremely horrible. I felt like asking for my money back.

Terrible!!!
Absolutely horrible how they have let that course get this way. Used to really enjoy playing here, although after playing there last weekend I will NEVER be back. No grass on what should be a fairway. Bunkers are grown over with weeds, although they still left the rakes in there, and forget about the greens. My group paid for 18 holes although we threw in the towel after 9. Would never waste my money here again. Be warned.

Nice layout but poor condition
This course has a good deal of elevation changes which was enjoyable for me as most courses in Florida are pretty flat. However, there is virtually no fairway grass to speak of, the sand traps were in terrible condition and in general, there was very little care taken to keep the course in good condition.

fairways are weeds and dirt
They are not keeping up on maintenance, my cart had a broken seat and would slide around on a hill, dangerous, the fairways are shot, the worst I have seen anywhere, it is in bad shape

Needs Work
First of all - I’d have to say I love the layout of this course. But on the down side - course is in really bad shape. Need grass cut back in areas, then grass needed in others. Traps are over grown. Don’t really understand why they would let course get in this bad of shape ??
Really cool layout - really terrible shape !!

Don't waste your money
Last played this course about 8 yrs ago. It was tough and in beautiful condition and I couldn't wait to go back. This time it was a total disappointment and waste of money. Every fairway was nothing but wide open areas of dirt and weed patches with little grass. Except for maybe 4 sand traps every other ones were overgrown with weeds and not maintained. Trying to find a good lie was impossible. Every green was dry and bumpy. The entire course was not maintained and an embarrassment to play. I loved this course but never played anywhere where I saw such bad conditions on every hole. Not sure what happened but will never go back.

Dry Ridge
The last time I visited this course it was in October 2020. At that time I had no complaints. The course is in very rough shape. I am talking tee boxes, fairways and greens. Lake of watering seems to be the issue. The cart girl, which is an absolute plus for this course advised that the sprinklers were broken and that the course was getting better. Hitting off dirt in the tee box and the fairway is a rough way to play. Watching the ball bounce as it rolls on the green is unacceptable. I love the layout of this course, the location and the staff. I feel a little time and effort into the rest of the course is needed. I will give it another shot in the fall.

Where’s the grass?
The entire course is a sand trap. There is no grass on the fairways. The bunkers have overgrown plants and weeds in them. The greens are partially dead and have crabgrass that will totally change the line of your ball. Trust the reviews you are reading here and take your money to a course that is maintained. I won’t step foot on this course again.

A lot has changed
We used to play this course regularly before covid. It was in such poor condition we almost left after the 2nd hole. There is little to no grass on the fairways, weeds everywhere, pits / sand and weeds on the greens. Just terrible and there were no groomed traps. They will have to do a lot to make us come back here again no matter how inexpensive it is. Such a disappointment and a shame.

No Fairway grass
This use to be a beautiful golf course which I played many times over the years. Today made my stomach turn. This can not be called a golf course. There is NO GRASS on any of the fairways. The greens were green but that's it. I can not put into words how awful this course really is. NO warnings and no information about the condition from staff.

Hopeing for improvement
I played there June 1st,I was very excited about being in the area and a chance to play there again.the last time I played there the course was in ok condition ,this time the fairways were dead,the greens were hard to putt on,there were potholes all over the place,just not a very enjoyable round of golf,I love the layout,the elevation changes will take your breath away,hopefully with some rain the course will come back to life.

Neglected golf course.
Last time I played Sanctuary Ridge about 2 years ago and the course was in excellent condition. It was very sad to see and play the course in it's current condition.
The fairways, bunkers, tee boxes, etc. were in horrible shape. It looked like nobody took care of the course in years!! Very sad because it is a nice, challenging layout.
It is not worth playing at all at any price in it's current condition. Hope that someday the course is brought back to life. Will not play it again until that happens.

The location had great potential...
With some grass this course could be a lot of fun. The layout has a lot of elevated tee shots, scenic views, stout hills to climb. Things that are not common in Florida. I went out as a single at 9:30 am on a Sunday morning (which should have told me something). I played through 3 groups at different points...no one accepted my offer to join up, but they were all nice and let me keep going, Finished in under 3 hours. Unfortunately, even in the middle of the fairway, grass isn't common, and most of the greens are the same. I actually scored pretty well (shot a 79 from the Blue's on a 9 handicap), but I won't be back until I hear that the course is in better condition.

Gone
I played this course several years ago. Now, it’s a shame it’s even on golf now. I quit after a few holes. The entire course is dirt and weeds. It’s a shame too, but you shouldn’t play here. It’s a waste of time.

Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, jpinarabanal! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club!
Probably the worst course I have ever played. The condition was awful. The only grass that was on the course was in the bunkers.

DISSAPOINTMENT!
One of THE best layouts in Central Florida BUT probably the worst condition golf course (fairways, bunkers, rough and greens) i the whole of Florida. Most fairways are sandy waste areas!
In current condition I would NOT recommend it to anyone.
Actually saw two sprinkler gushing water so maybe in a few weeks things may improve, they certainly could not get much worse.
