The Homes & Style
St. Johns Golf & Country Club is sought after for larger homes at a lower price point for the size. As of May 2026 there were about 12 listings averaging around $764,000, ranging from about $450,000 to just over $1.07 million, at roughly $267 per square foot. The championship course, the CDD amenities, and the A-rated schools support steady demand.
For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. In a golf community with larger homes, pricing to the specific home and view is essential.
St. Johns Golf & Country Club is built around its course, and the home size and view define the purchase.
Most homes offer four to six bedrooms and up to 5,000 or 6,000 square feet, averaging around 2,857 square feet among recent listings.
Homes back to the golf course, woods, marsh, or lakes, so the view is a defining feature and a value driver.
The community is golf-cart friendly, with the course and amenities a cart ride from most homes.
Living Here
The community pairs a championship course with a deep CDD-owned amenity set.
An 18-hole championship Clyde Johnston course managed by Billy Casper Golf, with The Bridge at St. Johns clubhouse restaurant and full bar, plus event space for weddings and parties.
Sampson Creek CDD amenities include an aquatic center with a large pool, a child wading area, and a waterslide.
Two basketball courts, a tot lot, four tennis courts, a sport field, and a fitness center with classes round out the amenities.
Everyday shopping and dining sit nearby along the CR-210 corridor and toward the World Golf Village area and SR-16, with The Bridge at St. Johns clubhouse restaurant on-site. The St. Johns Town Center adds big-box and upscale options about 20 to 25 minutes north.
The CDD owns the aquatic center and courts, but it raises the effective tax rate. Build the HOA plus CDD into one carrying cost before you commit.
At roughly $267 a foot, the value here is space. If you want a larger home and a championship course, this competes hard against pricier neighbors.
The course welcomes visitors, but living here is not a membership. Confirm the golf terms if play is a priority.
Before You Offer
St. Johns County flooding concentrates near the Intracoastal, the coast, and the creeks and marshes, while many inland master-planned communities sit in lower-risk zones.
The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact St. Johns Golf and Country Club address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones. A home in Zone X can cost far less to insure than one near water in Zone AE. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.
St. Johns County is well served by AT&T (fiber in most newer communities) and Xfinity (Comcast), though fiber availability still varies by street. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific St. Johns Golf and Country Club address rather than assuming.
St. Johns County total millage varies by district, and CDD assessments are common in the master-planned communities, which adds to the all-in cost on top of the millage. The Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, and the deadline to file a new homestead exemption is March 1.
The trap to plan for is the post-sale reset: when you buy, the Save Our Homes cap from the previous owner ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year tax bill is often higher than the seller current one. Budget the true number, and confirm whether the specific home carries a CDD or other assessment that is billed separately from the millage and is not reduced by the homestead exemption.
Comparisons
St. Johns Golf & Country Club sits among the CR-210 golf and master-planned communities, and the honest comparison is against its neighbors. The nearby gated Cimarrone offers gated golf with its own course, trading the larger-home value here for controlled access. South Hampton is the more affordable golf neighbor with no CDD, while the World Golf Village area adds two resort courses and a denser amenity hub. St. Johns Golf & Country Club wins on larger craftsman homes at a lower price per foot, its Clyde Johnston course, and the CDD aquatic center; it loses to Cimarrone on gating and to South Hampton on the lowest carrying cost. The right one depends on your budget, your home-size needs, and the CDD question.
Who It Fits
St. Johns Golf & Country Club fits the buyer who wants the most home and a championship course per dollar in northwest St. Johns and is willing to underwrite the CDD to get there. If a Clyde Johnston course, a golf-cart lifestyle, A-rated schools, and golf or marsh views matter more than gating or the lowest possible carrying cost, and if you will price the HOA, the CDD, and the home as one number, few CR-210 communities compete on space and value.
