Disgraceful Condition
Weeds and dirt make up the fairways. Painted greens. Dirt tee boxes.
Course needs a lot of work
This place has been neglected for a while. Either drop the prices or make some improvements. The course looks like it has been abandoned. It has a great layout with a lot of interesting holes and challenges. The course is spread out over a large area and signage to the next hole is not the most obvious at times. The tee off markers are so faded or broken or missing it is hard to tell sometimes which markers to use. The fairways and numerous parts of the course are in very poor condition with enough potholes to make even driving a golf cart dangerous at times. A lot of the sand traps need weed control. It’s a fun course but I feel it is overpriced for the course conditions at this time.

Poorly Maintained
Its a shame there is little to no course maintenance done, because this course has huge potential. Great layout and elevation changes, but the condition is hardly worth a $10 round, let alone $40.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club.

Course is almost beyond recovery
Fairways and greens as well as tee boxes were the wrost I have ever seen.

Great for the price
They will be closing soon to do a big renovation of the course and amenities. The course is not in great shape, hence the planned renovations, but for the price it was great. We had a relaxing 18 holes in under 4 hours and I’ll play that pace any day. Staff was great!

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!
Course is in bad shape
I always loved the layout of the course. The hills are incredible. The fairways are dirt and greens not much better. The good news, the course is being shut down in June to go through a rehab through October. According to the staff, it will loon like a new course when the rehab is over. I can’t wait to go back and play this course in the fall

So sad
This course used to be great. It has a ton of elevation and beautiful views. The ownership has really let it go. There are weeds in the fairways, the grass is patchy in the fairways, the greens are mostly rolled dirt. Do not play here unless you want to play a full round in waste bunker conditions.

Closing soon
If you like hitting off of nothing but weeds and sand then this course is for you. I don’t think a grounds crew has touched this course in a couple months. Halfway through the round the starter came out to berate us for playing through a slow group and said that since our tee time was after theirs we have to wait on them all day.
The course is apparently closing in a couple months, undergoing renovations and eventually opening under new ownership. I’m pretty sure they are just trying to make as much off the place without doing any maintenance in the meantime.
The course has an intriguing layout with multiple elevation changes so with significant renovations it could be great. Until then, you couldn’t pay me to waste my time on that track again.

Water the course!!!!
Played in mid March 2021. The entire course looked like it hadn't been watered in MONTHS! Many fairways had large patches of sand (no they were not sand traps). It was horrible and I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

Total lack of care for this course
Course was horrible. Fairways and tees had no grass to speak of. Finding a level spot on the tees was next to impossible. No care given to traps. It looks like the fairways and greens are never watered. We will never go back. One good point is the food in their restaurant was excellent.

Worst course in florida
Upon arrival we were pushed back 40 min because they ran out of carts. Larry the starter would be the only good thing at this dump. Super nice guy working hard under the circumstances he has to deal with from poor management and hack golfers who feel entitled on a $20 municipal course. The course fairways are the worst ever with no grass anywhere. The bunkers are full of weeds. And the greens were barren. The worst issue here is the staff. They let singles and twosomes off back to back to back and then actually come out on the course to yell at a 4some who is keeping pace instead of pairing up the twosomes. Jean, an old lady, claimed to be the pro shop manager but has absolutely NO understanding of golf etiquette or how to schedule tee times. It was very embarrassing on her part to have such a limited understanding of the game of golf and compensated by lashing out at guests when she can’t answer simple questions asked to her . I have never been so harsh in reviewing any course no matter the conditions but the management staff here is so incompetent I have nothing good to say about this place and would never recommend “The Ridge “ (they are trying to rebrand the name to get away from all the bad reviews)
Hello, calliverian. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1 star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our management team at (352) 243-0411. Thank you for playing Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club.
In transition...dry, as a bone...dead course
In between owners..no water being used..tee boxes, greens, and fairways near death...no money being spent on course..if sold, give it year to come back to life

Terrific layout course needs grass which will come when it rains traps need more sand but the price makes everything OK it’s a really good bargain for a super layout course I played several times and enjoyed it every time fast play friendly people very interesting horse
