Do not play this course

This course is in the worst shape of any course I have ever seen. I would not recommend this course to my worst enemy. I understand this course is in the process of being sold and there has been little or no maintenance. It is a shame since it has the potential to be one the the nicest in the area.

If you like to play in dirt!

An employee mentioned they'll be shutting down for maintenance soon opening in September. Not sure if that's enough time to fix the damage on this course. Nice layout, just way to many bare spots..

Not a good time of year

The layout is still good but golf courses have suffered. I think warm weather and rain this month and next will bring it back to more desirable condition.

Not sure what happened here

I used to be a big fan of SR. It seems like it’s been steadily going down hill for the last couple years though. The people who work there are great but the course was in terrible condition. Any fairway lie is basically hitting off hard dirt and the greens are basically compacted sand/dirt that don’t even roll properly. Tough to see this here.

Could be a fantastic course!

Pros: Beautiful views, great variety of holes, fantastic design. Cons: Greens were covered with sand. Fairways had little to no grass. Tee boxes were pretty bare also. Not worth the price they are charging.

Course was in terrible condition. Like hitting out of sand on most shots. VERY hilly. Would not recommend for older people or if you have leg/knee issues like we do. Many blind shots. We have been coming almost every year for last 10 and this was one of the worst courses we have ever played

Sanctuary Ridge

Worst conditions in Central Florida for such a good layout and fun course. No grass on the fairways and tee boxes and the greens were spotty. The best thing about this course is Chris who works in the Pro Shop, he is always professional, pleasant and a joy to deal with. I play all around Central Florida and will not play here again, some money spent on the course would cure the ills that exist.
