this was my second time playing the course....my (teenage) son and I played last Labor Day and the conditions were beyond wet, so it was cart path only and every shot was soggy, but we loved the layout and made a point to play it again.....this year it was hot and drier and so we could drive on (most) fairways....continue to love the layout, wide open fairways, pretty holes, course is in nice condition - definitely a course we'll be returning to again.....perhaps not challenging for a good player, but for two lesser players like us, it's a fun course that makes us feel like we could score "if only".....If I was to find any drawbacks, it would be (1) the cost (of everything - the round, range balls, hot dogs (which they make very clear are high, in their defense)), (2) the lack of water coolers on any holes, and (3) I personally just wish the course had more yardage markings (but I wish this of nearly every course these days).....it was HOT, so it was WIDE open (on a WEDS, midday), and while I love never having to wait over a shot and love that it wasn't crowded, it just makes the (midday, non-peak) price that much harder to get my head around, but it's an enjoyable golf course, one I would recommend (even at the expense of it becoming more crowded) and definitely one we will play again (and again) when in the area

Wet course

They must have gotten a lot of rain, cart paths only which we could understand, fairways are a little thin, but overall, always enjoy this course.
There’s never a starter on first tee, always confusing on who is up.

Georgia Gem

Georgia may be known for its peaches but if you have a chance to play the Sanctuary golf club 10 minutes off of 95 you will not be disappointed

great layout, good conditions.

Course layout is great, and conditions were pretty great. Wish they had a set of blended tee boxes as you are at 6000 or 6700.

Aerification recently …

Great outing, despite recent aerification. Range, practice area, fairways and tees in excellent condition. Greens slow after being punched but still fairly true. Fun layout that gives you something different on almost every hole.

Course is in great shape

Had a group of six playing in front of us on a Sunday morning. Obviously the round was slow. Other than that, the course itself was great and in good shape. Very nice layout.

Always Enjoy This Course

Great layout, course in great shape. Rivals other higher priced courses. Plenty of tee boxes to challenge any golfer. Really liked how they opened up some of the woods to make it more playable and not spend time looking for balls.

Great Place

Was there on Wednesday May 24th. Played golf and the course was great. After playing I took a putting lesson on their new putting system. The PGA instructor Harry Kicklighter was great and knew how to help me! Will be going back for another round and lesson!

Great course conditions on a nice course

First time playing here and it was a real pleasure. Great course conditions and friendly staff. Very undulating greens that took getting used to.

Course was in great shape. Friendly staff and of course marsh views. Fairways were wide and bunkers protecting the greens. Would play again if in the area.
