Desk man wanted to shake me down for an extra $20 to T/off early when big storm was coming in. Poor judgment, bad business.

Doyle1530098, We definitely appreciate your comments- However -We are really disappointed in your perception of this situation.
We take all reviews seriously and continue to train our team members to give the utmost service. With our afternoon tee-times being discounted- asking to be moved to a earlier tee-time would put you in the higher price range - which is about 20 dollar difference. We have to protect our prices as listed. we are sorry you feel like this- but this was not $20 dollar shakedown..

Great Course, needs Rangers

The course was fantastic, greens fast and true. Was my first time playing this course and will definitely be back. The only issue I had was a twosome was playing incrediblely slow, not letting anyone play through and had a minimum 4-5 groups behind them backed up and there were no Rangers out trying to maintain pace of play. Made for a long round.

Excellent course and great value

SSI snowbird,,,I Have always loved this course and now that I no longer belong to BBC I am delighted that GN presents so many
Opportunities to play here at a REASONABLE price.

The staff is welcoming and the pace of play is usually perfect. Played on 4/24 as a twosome in 3 hours,

Nice course though a little pricey

I really enjoyed the course. The fairways were wider than most of the courses I usually play which I'm sure helps to keep things moving although the day we played there wasn't a lot of golfers out there and my wife and I finished in about 3 hours 20 minutes. I wonder if the prices had anything to do with the light activity. I will definitely come back when I can get a hot deal again where the price was more reasonable.

Great course in excellent condition!!

Sanctuary Cove was in perfect condition and the facilities were awesome. Fairways and greens were smooth and full but manicured to allow roll but soft enough to be able to hit down onto the ball! Tee boxes in great shape. Saturday at 11:30 made for a long day! 4 hours and 45 minutes was a bit long! Only down side was no starter or ranger to monitor play. Loved everything else!

Sanctuary Golf Club 👌

Spent my 36th Birthday playing this hidden gem in Waverly, GA. Can’t wait to go back soon. Everything was in pristine condition and the greens were so pure. Take my money again!!!

Excellent course and conditions

Sanctuary Golf Course was a very pleasant surprise. The course was in excellent condition with the greens being the best I have played on in quite some time. We had no groups in front or behind us. I will put Sanctuary Golf Club in my regular rotation to play again.

Excellent course. Great value as well

We played this course on the way up to see the Masters and was very impressed. The course is in great condition and easily met the financial value. We will consider this course as a destination for our annual golf trips. Great job.

Always a Great Time

I’m a local and get to play it a few times a year, but Sanctuary is a hidden gem off 95. Course conditions are always great, greens are pure and fast, and the owner and management have a continua improvement approach. Recently finished a new short game practice area, and now looks like they’re building a new tee box on 13. It
Older fellow in the pro shop was very nice and offered details on the course, even though I’m familiar. Course was backed up due to a tournament and the group in front ask me to play with - bartender from Sanctuary and his friend Carol and friend Jerry joined on the backbone. All 3 were members and said they hoped we could play together again sometime. Thanks to Keith and Carol for asking me to Join them. Still Finished 18 in less than 4 hours.
