A Protected Enclave for Families

Set in the northwest corner of highly desirable St. Johns County (Jacksonville area), St. Joe's St. Johns Golf & Country Club has an easy location close to excellent schools, shopping, restaurants and downtown businesses that is yet removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

The St. Johns clubhouse presides over the finishing holes.

Furthermore, the community boasts a Clyde Johnston championship golf course which has been described as "his best effort yet in the area." Carved out of a pine forest, the course at St. Johns Golf & Country Club offers a great test for every skill level. Golfers have noted that the St. Johns course is a “textbook example of how to craft a beautiful, lively golf course from a basically mundane palate.”

The layout is a mix of natural minimalism in places and man-made engineering in others. When there is evidence of construction, Johnston and crew have done their shaping softly and roundly; the course blends gracefully into the surrounding environment and there are few abrupt movements except for the bulkheads that transition land and water near several of the greens. 

The view from the clubhouse.

As expected with such a low profile, wetland-style course, these water hazards appear frequently, often fronting greens. The numerous bunkers are generally cut low and into the sides of the built-up greens to add definition and yield playable recovery shots. The number of straightforward holes is offset by just enough gutsy, challenging holes.

"I do strive for balance and variety in my designs," Johnston says. "I am designing the course for the average golfer and resident of St. Johns, while also trying to make it a challenge from the back tees as well as pleasing to the eye. I plan for easy holes, hard holes, and a range of difficulty in between."

Five tees, plus a family tee, vary the length of the course from a monster 7,200 yards down to almost 2,400 yards. Depending on wind conditions, the 18-hole course can be a real bear. Residents suggest you take your time and enjoy the surroundings as well as your game.
