Worth a play or two annually.
Great course to play. Must drive the ball well and you do not have to use driver on each hole but you can. Greens faster than what they looked. Will definitely play it again. Thanks

Great great Course
Sanctuary golf course is a very well groomed course and absolutely beautiful to play on. The course has some challenging holes on it but overall just a fun course to play. Holes 14 and 15 are my favorite. They are a challenge being back in the forest but they are simply some of the most beautiful holes you will find in the area. Highly recommend the course!!!

Better than I remember
Moved away from the area 17 years ago and used to play. Fast forward...came up for a long weekend and got three old buddies together to play. Heard the area had not had much rain in the last month so we were all happy that the course was in really good condition.
Staff was great and everything was very clean Course played tough in the wind and was in great playing condition Greens were consistent with one exception (12)

Better have all day to play
That had to be the worst pace of play I have ever experienced. It’s going to be tough to go back. Course conditions were nice, but the pace of play and service quality resulted in a poor experience.
