St. Johns Golf & Country Club is the centrepiece of the St Johns community, on County Road 210 a short way from I-95, between Jacksonville and St Augustine. Members play here, but the tee sheet is open to the public every day, and the club says its lowest prices are always the ones shown online. The course is a Clyde Johnston design cut through pine forest, with six tee boxes running from 7,236 yards down to 5,286 plus a family tee. New greens and a Toptracer range arrived in 2025.
St. Johns Golf & Country Club green fees and tee times.
Book on the club website, through GolfNow, or by phone on 904.940.3200. Public tee times open seven days ahead; members get two weeks, which is why weekend mornings fill first. The club states that walk-up and phone bookings cost more than the online price, and its app carries extra app-only discounts, so check both before you commit. Twilight and weekday specials are offered but not published as a table. Cancel at least 24 hours before your round, or the card you booked with can be charged at the applicable rate. Collared shirts are required and jeans are not allowed. Juniors aged seven and over can play after 3pm. Outside food and drink are not permitted, and a non-playing companion can ride if a cart is free.
The round, in perspective.
The club describes the course as delicately carved out of a pine forest, and it treats the wind as the deciding factor: depending on the breeze, it says, the round can be gentle or “a real bear”. From the gold tees it is rated 74.7 with a slope of 132; the blue tees, at 6,801 yards, carry the highest slope on the card at 133. The 18th is the hole the club itself singles out as its signature finish. Greens are new: from 5 May 2025 the course closed for about four and a half months while MacCurrach Golf Construction stripped 250,000 square feet of greens, collars and approaches, dug out the top six inches of soil, sprigged TifEagle Bermuda on the putting surfaces and regraded the surrounds with 419 Bermuda for better drainage. The property is an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary.

Make the trip work.
Afternoon tee times are the easiest to find, because the club says weekend mornings are its busiest period for member play. Allow time for the range: it was rebuilt with Toptracer bays in 2025, so you can play target games, track carry distances or try a virtual course before you tee off. Lessons come from the Golf Academy, led by Monique “Mo” Gesualdi, Troon’s 2024 Coach of the Year, and The Bridge restaurant serves food after the round.
Jacksonville International (JAX) is the nearest major airport, to the north. Take I-95 south and leave at County Road 210; the club is at 205 St Johns Golf Drive, inside the St Johns community, a short drive west of the interstate. St Augustine’s historic centre lies further south on I-95 and US 1, and Ponte Vedra Beach is east along the coast.
You can’t stay on site. On its own course page it points visitors to a nearby Hampton Inn & Suites and to the Renaissance World Golf Village, the hotel attached to the World Golf Village courses a short way south on I-95, which keeps a second round within easy reach. For a stay with more to do in the evening, St Augustine’s old town has inns and small hotels within walking distance of its restaurants.
Make a trip of it.
World Golf Village is the obvious partner: its King & Bear and Slammer & Squire courses are just down I-95, and MacCurrach, the firm that rebuilt the St Johns greens, built Slammer & Squire in 1997. TPC Sawgrass and its Stadium Course island green are north-east at Ponte Vedra Beach, and Hammock Beach’s Ocean Course is further south at Palm Coast. Away from golf, St Augustine’s Castillo de San Marcos, a 17th-century Spanish fort on Matanzas Bay, fills a half-day.
Find your season.
North Florida runs cooler than Miami, so spring and autumn are the prime months and midwinter mornings can be chilly. Summer brings heat and storms; the club issues rain checks based on the number of holes completed. Listed hours of 7am to 7pm shift with daylight.
Can the public play St. Johns Golf & Country Club?
Yes. It has members, but public golfers can book every day through the club website, GolfNow or the golf shop on 904.940.3200. The club says online rates are its lowest; phone and walk-up bookings are priced higher. Weekend mornings are the hardest slots to get.
How far in advance can I book a tee time at St. Johns?
Seven days ahead for public golfers. Members can book two weeks ahead, which is one reason weekend mornings fill early. Cancellations need 24 hours’ notice; inside that window the card on the booking may be charged at the rate you booked.
Were the St. Johns greens renovated?
Yes. The course closed from 5 May 2025 for about four and a half months while every green, collar and approach was stripped. Greens were replanted with TifEagle Bermuda, and collars and approaches were relaid with 419 Bermuda sod and regraded to drain better.
Is St. Johns Golf & Country Club good for juniors and beginners?
It is set up for both. There is a family tee that shortens the course to 2,400 yards, juniors aged seven and over may play after 3pm, and the Golf Academy runs clinics, camps and playing lessons.
