Wow. I mean it sure is nice to have it open again, but the practice facility is like Top Golf but more laid back, great bar, great BBQ, awesome ball tracking system. The course has also been refurbished with lush fairways and speedy greens. read more

Played on 7/18/21 Not sure what happened to this golf course. Used to be one of my favorites, now as you can see they have gone downhill. There are no fairways or bunkers (as you can see in the photos), and forget about the greens. Thought $20 was a deal for this course, although they should have paid me $20 to play. We threw in the towel after 9 holes. Worst course I've EVER played and we will not be returning back. Would not recommend to anyone. Be warned. read more

See all

Came here to golf on a Friday morning. Rates were low and conditions were decent for the price paid. I usually play golf around the Orlando area and was pleasantly surprised how hilly it is here at this course. It was a bit difficult finding your ball in the grass if you missed the fairway, but I have no one to blame but myself for that. If you're looking for a change from the relative flat courses around Central Florida, I'd recommend Sanctuary Ridge. read more

We've played Sanctuary Ridge many times over the years and love the course layout. The condition of the course has much improved on this visit, December 2019, and even more so, since we played previously in February 2019. The tees and fairways were good and greens were good. Bunkers were better cared for. A real pleasure to play. All staff are really pleasant and welcoming. read more

Th golf course is really looking good. We appreciate all the hard work going into the upkeep. The restaurant food has been delicious. Cannot beat Hamburger Night on Mondays. Kudos to all the hard work to make people have fun and eat well. read more

avoid, the place is a dump. Fairways are filled with knee high weeds, sand traps are overgrown and ignored. Greens haven't been punched in years. It is such a shame being this is truly one of the unique designs in central Florida. Playing In a cow pasture would be more rewarding. AVOID let the developers take it and distort more of Florida's beauty. read more

I can't decide if this course or Legends in Clermont is my favorite course I've played so far. This course is well maintained and incredibly fun to play. There's a ton of elevation especially for Florida courses. There's some fun dog hook holes that are possible to drive the green on a par 4 since they have huge drops past the 150 marker and if you land it right, the ball roles right on the green. Greens were in good shape, fairways were nice, and it's not the worst thing in the world to land in the rough. The Rangers and attendants are super friendly and offer tons of great advice. I really enjoyed playing here and can't wait to book my next tee time here. Prices are also fantastic. I think we paid $28 for a round and if we paid $35 we could have had a round and lunch. This was also mid April during busy season. Great course! read more

One word to describe this course, elevation. It reminds me a lot of Black Bear Country Club in Eustis for those that play around Central FL. The course is tight and challenging in spots but it is overall a good course in pretty good condition. Another great spot for the money. The number two par 3 is prob my favorite hole. Shooting from a high elevation down onto the green. Always available on golf now. read more

Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club - Golf Near Me - Clermont, Florida

This course is by far the worst condition course in the area. From T to green the course appears as thought it has not been cared for in years. The sand traps are unplayable, if your in there you will most likely not even find your ball due to half the sand washed away leaving large fissures, never mind the traps have not seen a rake or care in years. The fairways are baron, never mind the large patches of weeds throughout especially as you get closer to the greens. The pace was play was horrendous, had a 9:00 T-Time, didn't end up getting on the T until about 10am, due to the starter (which will be discussed in a minutes) placing a group of 12 on the T at once. So with a 9:00 T time, we finished just past 3pm. Heck the beer cart even broke down and they left it on the fridge of the green all day. The only really draw to this a course is the elevation changes. Let's talk about the starter. This was actually the second time we played this course, both times the starters attitudes is very demeaning, both times we felt very put off by the older gentleman. He's acts more like a course bulldog than the welcoming figure he should be. Neither time were we greeted with a hello, and the last time we were greeted with a "Can I help you" in a tone like "Why are you bothering me" I even got a "Hey you" x3 at one point from him while I was hanging out on the putting green waiting the hour our T off was behind. He wanders around the starters area like a pit-bull awaiting an intruder. His whole attitude is not meant for customer service, maybe more of a back of the house type position. I personally will not go back just based on the attitude of the starter. It's too bad this could be an awesome course due to its elevation, just appears they won't spend any money on this hidden gem, or maybe they don't get the revenue to send cause the starter scares everyone off. read more

This location would be excellent for a golf course. There is no grass on the fairways, unkempt course to say the least. My friend and I play golf every week, since he drives from Lakeland and I drive from Apopka we try many different courses throughout the year. Please don't waste your money! read more

Very happy Came to play this oat Tuesday Although a foursome in front of us of clear beginners, starters made them keep up the pace No big waits after the first 2/3 Course is in great shape Just alliteration burnt off the fairway (which I got to see quite often). Clubhouse has very good restaurant and ample choice. They have a special $60 for 4 pylon Fridays To highly consider Great job guys read more

So I played this course a few years back and the fairway was starting to look rough. I went today and it's apparent the did nothing to make this course more desirable. I paid about $ 30 and I overpayed by about $20. I will relay the course condition to all my golf buddies, as it's not worth the money. Clerbrook is in far better condition and much cheaper. There are too many courses in the area to settle for a course in such bad condition... read more

So far I agree, this is Florida's hilliest course. The course has many elevated tees, and greens. It's a course you should play more the once. The traps remind me more like waste areas. There are some rakes at some of the traps but no one seemed to use them. The course over all was in very good condition. The views are fantastic, on the course and from the restaurant. Make it a point to play this one. E. M. White The Villages, FL read more

The restaurant here is AMAZING! Staff is on point and so are the lunch and dinner specials! You can't beat the prices at the bar either! Very personable and outstanding service. Kudos to the chef on the chocolate cherry cheesecake last night! We have been eating there once to twice a week. The tables outside on the "patio" have an excellent view. But get there early, they tend to go fast! We will continue going and enjoying the view, the staff and the food! read more

Hadn't been here in 10 years-the course has gotten better. If you are within an hours drive and looking for something different and challenging-come play the hills here!! Great elevation changes and fun shots to make. Where else in FL can you play a par 3 with a 100 foot elevation drop tee to green! read more

LOVE, LOVE LOVE this course!! this is my favorite in Central Florida. There are some that may be better maintained, have a better clubhouse or offer more amenities but none is as fun to play. The elevation changes make it pretty unique for this area but it's not the only hilly course. It's the layout of the holes and the way they challenge you that makes this a favorite to go back to again and again. I'll be out there next weekend and I'm already looking forward to it. read more

Pretty fun course in the middle of Florida. Lots of rolling hills and a good mix of long and short holes. A few too many blind shots but overall a great place to play for the value. read more

What has happened to this course!!! You need a Jeep to drive the fairways it's so rough. The bunkers are full of weeds. The only good item was the cart/starter who got us out early. Started to use the port a potty on back nine and it was so bad could not go inside. This course needs a lot of TLC. read more

The other ratings on this course are very accurate but sadly the maintenance of the course in general has suffered lately. Somehow my daughter convinced me to walk the course with her...uh, huh. She plays college golf and I am almost 60. This is not a walking course for old geezers like me! read more

Excellent Sutherland wedding. Thank you so much Jennifer. Everything was amazing. We had a great time. Venue was beautiful, food was delightful, bar service was on point. Thank you again. Susan Jagel read more

The new chef is awesome. Her food is outstanding. The environment is great with a terrific view. Reasonably priced and a very pleasant waiter staff. Monday nights is burger night. read more

Absolutely the worst condition since opening! Even the Greens which use to be superb were terrible. Hope they get it together soon or its destine to fail. Clubhouse was great as usual and the staff trying to make up for a poor course. read more

Excellent.found this course on the web because it was btw st.cloud and leesburgh and it seemed like a central meeting place for three friends.well,we were not disappointed.this course is very interesting .there is only one straight hole.every hole on the course,everything else is either a dogleg or some elevation change.the greens are either protected by large deep bunkers or large tracts of waste areas.other hazards include dense vegetation and some water and some large drop offs.the carts are equipped with course instructions and if you are a first timer ,read it.wind comes into play because the course is high.the greens are very large and pretty well maintained.it is playable and fair,but you have to play golf.you just can't grip and rip.i really enjoyed the course.the staff was friendly and helpful.the cart girl made sure we were hydrated.it was a fun day .my next trip to Florida will include a trip to sanctuary ridge. read more
