Could be better

This is good course but service to outsiders in a semi private golf course environment is questionable at best. Greens were very good and the course was a good layout but being treated like a afterthought made the experience average at best Pace of play was fine not great

Regardless of what time of year I play the Sanctuary, the greens are always fabulous and the course in general in good shape.

Great course

Came down from Rhode Island to golf with some buddies, out of 5 courses in 3 days, this was hands down the best. A top 3 course for me. Staff was awesome, as were the amenities. 10/10 would recommend, I’ll be back in the autumn for sure!

Over rated

The course was in excellent condition for early March. Very player friendly with wide fairways and large greens. Lots of water but very little comes into play. While we enjoyed the round, just didn’t feel that the layout was very interesting and that the design did a poor job of using all the natural areas around, especially the water and marsh. Not sure it is worth the cost and all the hype.
Side note: on course rest rooms could use service and cleaning.

Visitors have no value

We arrived and we were told you will have to wait an hour and a half. Not cool.
A first for golf now a complete fail for me and my guests.
The course blamed golf now, smiled and said it sucks to be you.
Tried to call golf now, no go
I am expecting some type of fix

We are sorry to hear about your experience. We had a junior event that was delayed by the weather. That should have been explained better. Please feel free to reach out and we would love to have you back out to enjoy the course. Have a great day!

A new favorite in the area

The course was in great shape. There was a juniors tournament before my round that presented some challenges for the staff but they were very accommodating and very nice. This was my first time playing here but I will be back next time I’m in this area.

Great track kinda far from anything though

Great course. Good greens big fairways. Lots of tee options and great bunkers. For the fees they charge they should have water on the course, a beverage cart, and towels in the carts for guests. It’s pricey for sure but is a fun track. Go see it for yourself
